Updating Software

If a software update becomes available, 3M will post the file and instructions on the 3M Pocket 
Projector website. The following instructions will step you through upgrading the MPro150 
projector.

What You Need For The Update:

3M MPro150 projector

MPro150 power supply

microSD card

Computer

The upgrade files: upgrade.img and upgrade.md5

USB cable

How to Update the MPro150 Software

When the update is performed, all files on MPro150 projector will be deleted. Please back 
up your files on the internal memory before performing the update.

Connect the power adapter to the MPro150 projector.

Insert the microSD card into the 3M MPro150 projector, connect the projector to the USB 
port on your computer and power up the projector.

The projector and the microSD card will appear as removable disks on the computer. The 
projector will be labeled “MPro150” but the microSD card may not have a label.

Note: If you do not see either the MPro150 or microSD removable disk in Windows 
Explorer, you must reassign the drive to a new drive letter not already used by another 
drive. Please refer to KB297694 on the Microsoft Support website.

Open the microSD disk from your computer and create a folder labeled “upgrade”.

Copy upgrade.img and upgrade.md5 into the “upgrade” folder. 

Disconnect the USB cable from the projector and computer. Once the USB cable is 
disconnected, the projector will project the home screen. 

Open the settings menu.
