Safeguards
INTENDED USE
Before operating the machine, please read the entire manual thoroughly.  The 3MÔ Multimedia Projector
MP8610 was designed, built and tested for use indoors, using 3MÔ brand lamps, 3MÔ brand ceiling
mount hardware 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

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.
