Battery Charging Notes:
• If the projector power is off, allow three hours for the battery to fully recharge.
If the projector power is on, the battery will take longer to charge.
• The battery has a lifespan and ages every time it is fully charged and
discharged. The battery will gradually lose charge capacity as it ages.
Therefore, as the battery ages the battery life will decrease.
Battery Maintenance Tips:
• Remove the battery when the projector will not be used for one week or
longer.
• Charge and discharge the battery by turning on the projector at least once a
month.
• When storing the battery for more than a month, store it at 50% charge. The
battery is at 50% charge when the battery icon has three bars.
• Do not store a fully discharged battery because it may lose the ability to be
recharged.
• Do not store a fully charged battery because it may lose the ability to be
recharged to fullpower.

Making Connections
The 3M Pocket Projector MP160 will display informational icons depending on the
input device and signal being detected. The 3M MP160 was designed to operate
with the 3M VGA and AVcablesonly.
Connecting to a Composite Video Device
Use the AV cable to input video from camcorders, digital cameras, DVD players and
digital media players into the VGA-AV input on the projector.
1 Connect the AV cable to the projector’s VGA-AV input.
2 Connect the other end of the AV cable to the video device’s audio and video
outputs.
Tip: Some video devices do not have the standard audio and video
connections and may require an AV cable specified by the manufacturer. The
AV cable allows you to connect your video device to your TV monitor or your
projector and may be purchased from the video device manufacturer. Once
you have the AV cable, use the cable adapters to connect the video device
cable and the projector cable.

English
Connecting to a Component Video Device
For component video input, you must purchase the optional 3M MP160 Component
AV Cable [3M part number 78-6972-0032-3]. This cable sends a higher quality
video signal for the best possible image.
1 Connect the component AV cable to the projector’s VGA-AV input.
2 Connect the other end of the AV cable to the video device’s audio and video
outputs.
Important Note: There are two red connectors on the Component AV cable.
One is for the right audio channel and the other is for the Pr component video
signal. Be careful to connect the red audio to red audio and red video to red
video. If these connectors are switched, the projected image will appear green
and an abnormal noise will come from the rightspeaker.
Tip: Some video devices do not have the standard audio and video connections
and may require an AV cable specified by the manufacturer. The AV cable
allows you to connect your video device to your TV monitor or your projector
and may be purchased from the video device manufacturer. Once you have
the AV cable, use the cable adapters to connect the video device cable and the
projector cable.
Some video devices, by default, will not output a video signal. The video
device’s manual should provide instructions on how to change the video output
setting.
