Safety information
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
Warning
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover
or back. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to
qualified service personnel.
Caution
To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade on the power
cord plug to the wide slot on an electric outlet. If the plug does
not fit, consult a licensed electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not modify the power cord plug, or you will defeat
this safety feature.
This symbol indicates that dangerous
voltage constituting a risk of electric shock
is present within your home theater system.
This label is located on the back of your
home theater system.
This symbol indicates that there are
important operating and maintenance
instructions in the literature accompanying
your home theater system.
Read instructions
Read all of the safety and operating instructions before you use your
home theater system.
Retain instructions
Retain safety and operating instructions for future reference.
Follow warnings and instructions
Follow all warnings on your home theater system and in the operating
instructions. Follow all operating and use instructions.
Water and moisture
Do not use your home theater system near water. For example, do
not use it near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
www.insignia-products.com
3
Cleaning
Unplug your home theater system before cleaning. Do not use liquid
or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth to clean the exterior of
your home theater system.
Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are
provided for ventilation, reliable operation, and protection from
overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not
block the openings by placing your home theater system on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place your home theater
system near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place your
home theater system in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or
rack, unless you provide correct ventilation or follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Heat
Make sure that your home theater system is located away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Grounding or polarization
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 grounding prong. The wide
blade or grounding prong are provided for your safety. If the plug
does not fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Insignia NS-H4005 Home Theater System
Power cord protection
Route power cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from your home theater system.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by Insignia because they
may cause hazards.
4
www.insignia-products.com
Insignia NS-H4005 Home Theater System
Stand
Do not place your home theater system on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. Your home theater system may fall, causing
serious personal injury and serious damage to your home theater
system. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with your home theater
system.
Lightning
For added protection for your home theater system 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.
This helps prevent damage to your home theater system from
lightning and power line surges.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service your home theater system yourself because
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
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.
Damage requiring service
Unplug your home theater system 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 home
theater system.
• If your home theater system has been exposed to rain or
water.
• If your home theater system 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 will often require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore your home theater system to its normal operation.
• If your home theater system has been dropped or damaged in
any way.
www.insignia-products.com
5
Insignia NS-H4005 Home Theater System
• When your home theater system exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
Safety check
After completing any service or repair to your home theater system,
ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to
determine that your home theater system is in correct operating
condition.
Overloading
Do not overload power outlets and extension cords because this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Object and liquid entry
Never push objects of any kind into your home theater system
through openings because objects 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 home theater system.
Shipping your home theater system
Save the original shipping carton and packing materials. For
maximum protection, re-pack your home theater system as it was
originally packaged at the factory.
Setting up your home theater system
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be
distorted during playback. In this case, position your home theater
system away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off your home
theater system after removing the disc.
