Important Safeguards
These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your projector
and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all
warnings.
Installation
1. For best results, use your projector in a darkened room.
2. Place the projector on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from
dust and moisture.
Ver tical angle of installation must be between -10° and +10° when
displaying an image.
Placing the projector outside of this range of angles may cause ex-
cess heat transfer to the lamp and shorten its life.
3. Do not place your projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat
radiating appliances.
4. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm internal com-
ponents.
5. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage in-
ternal components.
6. Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.
7. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:
a. Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
b. The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure
proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury.
c. In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector
and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes.
d. Please consult your dealer for more information.
To Dealer or Installer:
To prevent the projector from falling, install it in a place and fasten it in
a way with sufficient strength to support the combined weight of the
projector (7.2 kg/15.9 lbs) and a ceiling mount for an extended period
of time as well as to withstand earthquakes.
Power Supply
1. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-120
or 200-240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply fits this
requirement before attempting to use your projector.
2. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A
damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.
3. If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time,
disconnect the plug from the power outlet.
Cleaning
1. Unplug the projector before cleaning.
2. Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled,
use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or solvents such
as alcohol or thinner.
3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to
scratch or mar the lens.
CAUTION
Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under any one
of the following circumstances. Doing so can cause damage to
the projector:
While the Hour Glass icon appears.
While the message "Please wait a moment." appears. This message
will be displayed after the projector is turned off.
Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall outlet (the
POWER indicator has not changed to a steady orange glow).
Immediately after the cooling fan stops working (The cooling fan con-
tinues to work for 2 minutes after the projector is turned off with the
POWER button).
While the POWER and the STATUS indicators are alternately flashing.
CAUTION
To protect the Lens Shift mechanism, a hard polyurethane foam
pad is attached to the lens.
Before using the projector, remove the foam pad.
Reattach the foam pad before shipping this projector.
Lamp Replacement
•To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page E-58.
Be sure to replace the lamp when the message "The Lamp has
reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lamp."
appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached
the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of
glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the
pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your NEC
dealer for lamp replacement.
Allow a minimum of 2 minutes to elapse after turning off the projec-
tor. Then disconnect the power cable and allow 60 minutes to cool
the projector before replacing the lamp.
Fire and Shock Precautions
1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unob-
structed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow
at least 3 inches (10 cm) of space between your projector and a
wall.
2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from
falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that
might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as
a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into
your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object re-
moved by a qualified NEC service personnel.
3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.
Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage
to your eyes could result.
•Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the
projector. The light being projected from the lens is extensive, there-
fore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out
of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury
to the eyes.
Do not cover the lens with the supplied lens hood cap or equivalent
while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap and
possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light
output.
Do not look into the laser pointer while it is on and do not point the
laser beam at another person. Serious injury could result.
CAUTION: Be careful when you take a PC card out of the PC card
slot because the PC card and the slot are hot during or immediately
after use.
CAUTION: Do not place hands near lens opening while shifting the
lens. Shifting the lens could pinch fingers or hands causing injury.

2. INSTALLATION
This section describes how to set up your GT950 projector and how to
connect video and audio sources.
Setting up Your Projector
Your GT950 Projector is simple to set up and use. But before you get
started, you must first:
1. Determine the image size.
2. Set up a screen or select a non-glossy white wall onto which you
can project your image.
3. Connect the supplied power cable.
4. Set up the projector.
5. Connect a PC, VCR, DVD player, or other equipment.
6. Make setting or adjustments on the projector.
Selecting a Location
The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the
image. The minimum size the image can be is approximately 25" (0.64
m) measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 3.9 feet (1.2 m)
from the wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 300" (7.6 m)
when the projector is about 39.4 feet (12.0 m) from the wall or screen.

WARNING
Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done by a quali-
fied technician. Contact your NEC dealer for more information.
* Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If the projector
falls to the ground, you can be injured and the projector se-
verely damaged.
Do not use the projector where temperatures vary greatly. The
projector must be used at temperatures between 32˚F (0˚C)
and 95˚F (35˚C).
Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or smoke. This
will harm the screen image.
Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your projec-
tor so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on the side or
the front of the projector.
If your projector is mounted on the ceiling and your image is upside
down, use the “Menu” and “Select” buttons on your projector cabinet or
▲▼ button on your remote control to correct the orientation. (See page
E-43.)
Reflecting the Image
Using a mirror to reflect your projector’s image enables you to enjoy a
much larger image. Contact your NEC dealer if you need a mirror. If
you’re using a mirror and your image is inverted, use the “Menu” and
“Select” buttons on your projector cabinet or ▲▼ buttons on your re-
mote control to correct the orientation. (See page E-43.)
For screen sizes between 25" and 300" not indicated on the above table, use for-
mulas below.

Remote Control Guideline
1. Plug the supplied serial cable with the mouse output port of the projector into your computer’s mouse port
and restart your computer to gain remote mouse control.
2. When using the remote control’s built-in infrared mouse on a laptop computer, the laptop’s mouse, trackball
or trackpad will be disabled. Disconnect the serial cable from the mouse output port and restart your com-
puter to regain trackball or trackpad mouse control.
3. If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer’s screen-saver
or power management software.
4. If you accidentally hit the OFF button on the remote control, wait 2 full minutes and then press the ON button
to resume.

Connecting an External Monitor
To RGB INPUT
You can connect a separate, external monitor to your GT950 projector
to simultaneously view on a monitor the RGB analog, DVI analog, or
component image you're projecting. To do so:
1. Turn off the power to your projector, monitor and computer.
2. Use a 15-pin cable to connect your monitor to the RGB OUT (Mini
D-Sub 15 pin) connector on your projector.
3. Turn on the projector, monitor and the computer.
NOTE:
* The RGB OUT connector outputs RGB signal during standby. When the pro-
jector goes into standby, the image on an external monitor disappears for a
moment.
* The DVI digital output signal from the RGB OUT connector is muted.
* When attaching two D-Sub connector cables to the RGB IN and the RGB
OUT connectors simultaneously, use a cable with connector sizes of 39 mm
x 16 mm (1.53" x 0.63")or less to keep the two connectors from making
contact with each other.
Connecting a PC with DVI output
The DVI input accepts up to the XGA@60Hz signal.
NOTE: The Auto Adjust feature does not work for DVI digital signal. When DVI
signal is selected and the image position is not corrected, adjust the horizontal
and vertical position using the Position/Clock screen. See page E-40 for more
details.

JPEG
This is the name of a card currently being standardized by the Japan Electronic Industry Association (JEIDA) and PCMCIA
(Personal Computer Memory Card Interface Association) of the United States.
A type of PC card. ATA was originally a type of interface between computers and fixed disk devices. The ATA card is a standard
card-type recording medium.
CompactFlash card is a small removable card conforming to ATA specifications. It is one-fourth the volume of a PCMCIA card.
PCMCIA 2.1 PC cards are divided into three types according to their thickness: Type I (3.3 mm), Type II (5.0 mm) and Type III
(10.5 mm).
A type of image format. The standard Windows Bit Map format used for MS-DOS/Windows-compatible computers.
A type of image format. "JPEG" is the abbreviation of Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG compression offers efficient
data storage. The data not required for displaying the image is identified and deleted. Since the data is deleted, JPEG
algorithms are said to be irreversible. This means that once the image is compressed, the decompressed image it is not the
same as the original image.

This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should
follow to replace the lamp and clean the filter.
Replacing the Lamp
After your lamp has been operating for 1500 hours (2000 hours : Eco
mode) or longer, the “Status” light in the cabinet will go on and the
message will appear. Even though the lamp may still be working, re-
place it at 1500 (2000 hours : Eco mode) hours to maintain optimal
projector performance.
CAUTION
DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will
be extremely hot. Turn the projector off, wait 2 minutes, and then dis-
connect the power cable. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool
before handling.
DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except the lamp cover screw and two
lamp housing screws. You could receive an electric shock.
The projector will turn off and go into stand by mode after 1600 (2100
hours : Eco mode) hours of service. If this happens, be sure to replace
the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after 1500 hours (2000 hours
: Eco mode) of use, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may
be scattered in the lamp housing. Do not touch them as the pieces of
glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your NEC dealer for
lamp replacement.
To replace the lamp:
1. Loosen the lamp cover screw until the screwdriver goes into a
freewheeling condition and remove the lamp cover. The lamp cover
screw is not removable.
4. MAINTENANCE
2. Loosen the two screws securing the lamp housing until the screw-
driver goes into a freewheeling condition. The two screws are not
removable.
Remove the lamp housing by pulling out the handle.
NOTE: There is an interlock on this case to prevent the risk of electrical
shock. Do not attempt to circumvent this interlock.
3. Insert a new lamp housing until the lamp housing is plugged into
the socket.
CAUTION: Do not use a lamp other than the NEC replacement lamp
(GT95LP). Order this from your NEC dealer.
Secure it in place with the two screws.
Be sure to tighten the screws.
4. Reattach the lamp cover.
Tighten the lamp cover screw.
Be sure to tighten the screw.
5. After you install a new lamp, select [Projector Options]
[Setup][Page 4][Clear Lamp Hour Meter] to reset the lamp
usage hours.
