Safety information

Warning

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your television to rain or moisture.

Electric shock warning

CAUTION

Risk of Electric Shock

Do Not Open

Warning

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover or back. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

This lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the television’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the television.

Important safeguards

• Read all of these instructions.

• Save these instructions for later use.

• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on your television.

• Unplug your television from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

• To avoid hazards, use only attachments recommended by your television manufacturer.

• Do not use your television near water, such as near a bathtub, sink, or swimming pool.

• Do not place your television on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Your television may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to your television. Use your television only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table sold with your television.

• Slots and openings in the sides, back, and bottom are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of your television, and to protect it from overheating.

These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing your television on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface. Your television should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.

Your television should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase, unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Your television should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the power supplied to your home, ask your local power company.

• Do not let anything rest on the power cord, and do not locate your television where the cord may be stepped on.

• If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your television, 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 70, provides information with regard 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.

No. 8AWG (8.4 mm No. 17AWG (1.0 mm

) aluminum,

) copper-clad steel

or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire.

• Secure the antenna lead-in and ground wires to the house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22-1.83 meter) apart.

• Mount the antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where the lead-in enters the house.

• Use a jumper wire not smaller than

No. 6AWG (13.3 mm

) copper, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. See ANSI/NFPA70.

• For added protection for your television 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 it from the antenna or cable system. This prevents damage to your television due to lightning and power line surges.

• An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

• Do not overload power outlets and extension cords because overloading can cause a fire or electric shock.

Insignia NS-20LCD Television

• Never push objects of any kind into your television through slots in the case 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 television.

• Do not attempt to service your television yourself because opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service technicians.

• Unplug your television from the power outlet and refer servicing to qualified service technicians under the following conditions:

• When the power cord or plug is damaged

or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled into your

television.

• If your television has been exposed to rain

or water.

• If your television does not operate

normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions because incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in damage and often requires extensive work by a qualified technician to restore normal operation.

• If your television has been dropped or the

case has been damaged.

• When your television exhibits a distinct

change in performance.

• When replacement parts are required, make sure that the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

• Upon completion of any service or repairs to your television, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that your television is safe to operate.

Note to cable television system installer

This reminder is provided to call the cable television system installer’s attention to Section 820 40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Selecting an antenna cable

Note

Cables not included.

The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black and white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.

The following types of connectors are used with various antenna systems:

• A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools.

F-type connector

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

• A 300-ohm system is a flat twin-lead cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter.

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

Connecting with a cable or satellite box

Note

Some cable television providers use scrambled signals and require a converter to receive their service. Do not disconnect the converter when connecting your television. Consult your cable television provider for more information.

For subscribers to scrambled cable TV service

If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the converter/ descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the antenna jack on the back of your television. Follow the connections shown in the following diagram. Set your television to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4)and use the converter/ descrambler box remote control to select channels.

For subscribers to unscrambled basic cable with scrambled premium channels

If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/ descrambled box, you may want to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called two set coupler) and an A/B Switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store.

www.insignia-products.com

Insignia NS-20LCD Television

Follow the connections shown in the following diagram. With the switch in the B position, you can directly tune into any nonscrambled channels on your television. With the switch in the A position, tune your television to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune to scrambled channels.
