Safeguards
INTENDED USE
Before operating the machine, please read the entire manual thoroughly.  The 3ME Multimedia
Projector MP8650 was designed, built and tested for use indoors, using 3ME brand lamps and
nominal local voltages.  The use of other replacement lamps, outdoor operation or different
voltages has not been tested and could damage the projector or peripheral equipment and/or
create a potentially unsafe operating condition.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 
1. Read and understand all instructions before using. Pay particular attention to areas where this
symbol ! is shown.
! WARNING ± Indicates  a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
! Caution ± Indicates  a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.  Do not leave
appliance unattended while in use.
3. Never look directly into the projector lens when the lamp is on.  The metal halide lamp produces
a strong light which could damage your eyesight.
!4. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
5. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or if the appliance has been dropped or
damaged Ð until it has been examined by a qualified service technician.
!6. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled or contact hot surfaces.
7. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the
appliance should be used.  Cords rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.
8. Always unplug appliance from electrical outlet before cleaning and servicing and when not in
use.   Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquids.
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this appliance, but take it to a qualified
technician when service or repair work is required.  Incorrect reassembly can cause electric
shock when the appliance is subsequently used.
11. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
12. Connect this appliance to a grounded outlet.
!13. This unit is equipped with optical lenses and should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
14. Keep ventilation openings free of any obstructions.
15. Always remove the lens cap when the projection lamp is on.
