Important safeguards

• Read instructions–Read all the safety and operating

instructions before operating your TV.

• Retain instructions–Retain the safety and operating

instructions for future reference.

• Follow warnings–Follow all warnings on your TV and in the

operating instructions.

• Follow instructions–Follow all operating instructions.

• Cleaning–Unplug TV from the power outlet before cleaning.

Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

• Attachments–Do not use attachments not recommended by

Insignia as they may cause hazards.

• Water and moisture–Do not use your TV near water, such as

near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

• Accessories–Do not place your TV on an unstable cart, stand,

tripod, bracket, or table. Your TV may fall, causing serious injury to someone, and serious damage to your TV. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by Insignia, or sold with your TV.

NS-15LCD 15" LCD TV

If you mount your TV, follow Insignia's instructions and use a mounting accessory recommended by Insignia. Move a TV and cart combination with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause your TV and cart combination to overturn.

• Ventilation–Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or

bottom are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of your TV, and to protect it from overheating. Do not block openings. Do not place your TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Your TV should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place your TV in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or instructions have been adhered to.

• Power sources–Use only the type of power source indicated

on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your TV dealer or local power company. For TVs intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

• Grounding or polarization–Your TV is equipped with a

polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug fits into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn’t fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

• Powercord protection–Route power supply cords so that they

are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from your TV.

• Outdoor antenna grounding–If an outside antenna or cable

system is connected to your TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

• Lightning–For added protection for your TV receiver during a

lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This prevents damage to your TV from lightning and power-line surges.

• Power lines–An outside antenna system should not be located

near overhead power lines or other electrical power, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, do not touch power lines or circuits because contact with them might be fatal.

• Overloading–Do not overload power outlets and extension

cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

• Object and liquid entry–Never push objects of any kind into

your TV through openings because they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on your TV.

• Servicing–Do not attempt to service your TV yourself because

opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• Damage requiring service–Unplug your TV from the power

outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into your TV.

• If your TV has been exposed to rain or water.

• If your TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, because improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and often requires extensive work by a qualified technician to restore your TV to its normal operation.

• If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.

• When your TV exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.

• Replacement parts–When replacement parts are required, be

sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by Insignia that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other hazards.

• Safety check–Upon completion of any service or repairs to

your TV, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that your TV is in correct operating condition.

• Heat–Place your TV away from heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

www.insignia-products.com

NS-15LCD 15-inch TV - combined.fm Page 10 Wednesday, March 29, 2006 5:16 PM

• Remove all packing materials from the individual components.

• Do not remove any labels or stickers on the back panel of your TV.

• Shield the TV from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.

• Avoid dusty or humid places.

• Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes at the top or bottom of the TV.

• Install the TV in a vertical position.

• Avoid locations subject to strong vibration.

• Do not place the TV near strong magnetic fields.

• Avoid moving the TV to locations where temperature differences are extreme.

• Be sure to unplug the AC power adapter from the power outlet before carrying the TV.

Connecting to a power source

Use the AC power adapter provided for operation on AC power. If you cause a static discharge when touching your TV and your TV

fails to function, unplug your TV from the AC outlet and plug it back in. Your TV should return to normal operation.

NS-15LCD 15" LCD TV

Caution

This TV uses an AC power adapter that has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. The plug only fits into matching polarized power outlets. This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If the plug does not fit into your power outlets, you probably have outdated, non-polarized outlets which should be changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the plug or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.

Do not handle the power cord with wet hands. Do not pull on the AC power adapter cord when disconnecting it

from an AC power outlet. Grasp it by the plug. If water is spilled on your TV, unplug the AC power adapter

immediately and take the TV to an authorized service center for servicing.

Connecting the antenna

The antenna input impedance of this TV is 75 ohms. VHF/UHF 75 ohm coaxial cable can be connected to the antenna jack directly. If the antenna cable is a 300 ohm flat feeder cable, use a 300 ohm/75 ohm converter to connect the antenna cable to the antenna jack.

www.insignia-products.com

NS-15LCD 15-inch TV - combined.fm Page 11 Wednesday, March 29, 2006 5:16 PM

NS-15LCD 15" LCD TV

Caution

For your safety and to avoid damage to the TV, unplug the antenna cable from the ANT jack before moving it.

Note

• We recommend 75 ohm coaxial cable to eliminate interference and double image due to the unmatched input impedance of the antenna.

• The antenna/cable and power line should not be bundled together.

Connecting to a wall jack

Connect the TV to the wall-mounted antenna jack with a 75 ohm RF cable (commercially available).

Connecting to a wired antenna cable

Note

Before plugging the antenna into the ANT jack on the TV, make sure that the pin is not bent. If it is bent, straighten the pin, then plug the cable into the ANT jack of the TV.

Note

• Make sure that the power plug is connected to an AC outlet.

The LCD panel on this TV is manufactured to provide many years of useful life. Occasionally a few non-active pixels may appear as a fixed point of blue, green, or red. This is not to be considered a defect in the LCD screen.

Common picture problems

Snowy picture–A snowy picture is usually caused by a weak signal.

Adjust the antenna or install an antenna amplifier. Double images or “ghosts”–Double images are usually caused by

reflections from tall buildings. Adjust the direction of the antenna or raise it.

Radio wave interference–Wave patterns moving on the screen are usually caused by nearby radio transmitter or shortwave receiving equipment.

High-temperature electrothermal interference–Diagonal or herringbone patterns appearing on the screen, or part of picture is missing, is probably caused by high-temperature electrothermal equipment in a nearby hospital.

Note

If your TV has one of these symptoms and you are using Cable TV, it may be due to problems with the cable company signal. Call your cable company for additional information.

Maintaining

Cleaning the cabinet

Remove the power plug before cleaning your TV. Wipe the screen and cabinet with a clean, dry, soft cloth. If additional cleaning is necessary, wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the TV with a soft cloth immersed in lukewarm water and wrung dry.

Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insecticide liquid near the TV. Such chemicals may cause damage and discoloration to the exposed surfaces.

Servicing the TV

Should your TV become inoperative, do not try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Turn off the TV, unplug the power cord, and call an Authorized Service Center.
