CHILD SAFETY
PROPER TELEVISION PLACEMENT
MATTERS
THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY CARES
•
Manufacturers, retailers and the rest of the consumer electronics industry are
committed to making home entertainment safe and enjoyable.
•
As you enjoy your television, please note that all televisions - new and old- must be
supported on proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer's
recommendations. Televisions that are inappropriately situated on dressers,
bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, carts, etc., may fall over, resulting in injury.
TUNE IN TO SAFETY
•
ALWAYS follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation of your
television.
•
ALWAYS read and follow all instructions for proper use of your television.
•
NEVER allow children to climb on or play on the television or the furniture on which
the television is placed.
•
NEVER place the television on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a
chest of drawers.
•
ALWAYS install the television where it cannot be pushed, pulled over or knocked
down.
•
ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to the television so that they cannot be
tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
WALL OR CEILING MOUNT YOUR TELEVISION
•
ALWAYS contact your retailer about professional installation if you have any doubts
about your ability to safely mount your television.
•
ALWAYS use a mount that has been recommended by the television manufacturer
and has a safety certification by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
•
ALWAYS follow all instructions supplied by the television and mount manufacturers.
•
ALWAYS make sure that the wall or ceiling where you are mounting the television is
appropriate. Some mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls and ceilings with
steel studs or cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional
installer.
•
Televisions can be heavy. A minimum of two people is required for a wall or ceiling
mount installation.
MOVING AN OLDER TELEVISION TO A NEW PLACE IN YOUR
HOME
•
Many new television buyers move their older CRT televisions into a secondary room
after the purchase of a flat-panel television. Special care should be made in the
placement of older CRT televisions.
•
ALWAYS place your older CRT television on furniture that is sturdy and appropriate
for its size and weight.
•
NEVER place your older CRT television on a dresser where children may be tempted
to use the drawers to climb.
•
ALWAYS make sure your older CRT television does not hang over the edge of your
furniture.

Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
This symbol indicates that
dangerous voltage
constituting a risk of electric
shock is present within your TV.
This label is located on the
back of your TV.
This symbol indicates that
there are important operating
and maintenance instructions
in the literature accompanying
your TV.
1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.
4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use this apparatus near water.
6 Clean only with dry cloth.
7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
8 Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or
the third prong are provided for your safety. If
the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
12 Use only with the cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table specified
by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is
used, use caution when moving
the cart/apparatus combination
to avoid injury from tip-over.
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.
15 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The
plug must remain readily operable.
16 Remote control batteries should not be exposed
to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the
like.
17 The apparatus should not be exposed to
dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the
apparatus.
WARN ING
Electric shock hazard
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
remove any cover or expose the device to rain or
moisture. No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer
servicing to qualified service technicians.
Lightning
For added protection for your device 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 any
antenna or cable system. This helps prevent
property damage and personal injury from
lightning and power line surges.
Power lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, take extreme care to keep
from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
Handling the LCD panel
• Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop
your TV or hit, jolt, or press hard against the LCD
panel. If the screen breaks, be careful of broken
glass.
• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure
that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This
may cause skin inflammation.
• If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately
gargle, rinse, and consult with your doctor. Also, if
the liquid gets in your eyes or touches your skin,
consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least
15 minutes or longer in clean water.
Replacement parts
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,
personal injury, or other hazards.
www.insigniaproducts.com
2
Safety check
After completing any service or repair to this device,
ask the service technician to perform routine safety
checks to determine that your TV is in correct
operating condition.
Power source
Operate your TV only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supplied to your home, consult
an electrician or your local power company.
Servicing
These servicing instructions are for use by qualified
service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not perform any servicing other than that
contained in the operating instructions unless you
are qualified to do so.
CAUTION
Damage requiring service
Unplug this 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 covered by the operating instructions
because incorrect adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often require
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.
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 correct grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of the antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.

Note to CATV system installer
Article 820 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 40 provides guidance for correct
grounding. Specifically, it states that the cable
ground must be connected to the grounding
system of the building as close to the point of cable
entry as practical.
Condensation
Moisture will form on the TV if the TV is brought
from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the
temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this
happens, the TV's performance may be impaired. To
prevent this, let the TV stand in its new
surroundings for about an hour before switching it
on, or make sure that the room temperature rises
gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if
the TV is exposed to the breeze from an air
conditioner. In such cases, change the location of
the TV.
Mobile telephone warning
To avoid interference with your TV picture and
sound, operating problems, or even damage, keep
your cordless and cellular telephones away from
the TV.
End of life directives
Your TV may contain materials that are regulated
for environmental reasons. Your TV also contains
materials that can be recycled and reused. To help
protect the environment, contact your local
authorities for information about disposal or
recycling and about finding a recycler in your area
before you dispose of your TV.
Non-active pixels
The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film
transistors, which provide exceptionally sharp video
quality. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may
appear on the screen as a fixed blue, green, or red
point. These non-active pixels do not adversely
affect the performance of your TV, and are not
considered defects.

Notes
• Use a coaxial cable to eliminate interference and noise from radio
waves.
• Do not bundle the coaxial cable with the power cord or other cables.
• If the antenna is not installed correctly, contact qualified service
personnel to correct the problem.
• If the signal level for a channel is weak, the picture may be distorted.
Adjust the antenna or use a highly directional outdoor or set-top
antenna with a built-in amplifier.
• If the picture quality is good on some channels and poor on others, the
problem may be caused by a poor or weak signal from the broadcaster
or cable TV provider.
• If you connect to cable TV without a set-top box and experience poor
picture quality, you may need to install a set-top box to improve signal
reception and picture quality. Contact your cable TV provider about
upgrading to a set-top box.
• Many high-definition (HD) channels upscale standard-definition (SD)
content. The picture displayed on your TV is still displayed as SD, thus
the picture quality will not be as clear or crisp as it would be if the
content was originally recorded in HD.
