The issue
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are
popular purchases. However, TVs are not always supported on the proper stands or
installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. We and the consumer
electronics industry are committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.
TVs that are inappropriately placed on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks,
speakers, chests, or carts may fall over and cause injury.
Tune into safety
Insignia NS-LCD37-09 37" LCD TV
CHILD SAFETY
your flat panel display
these safety tips in mind
• One size of TV stand does not fit all. Use only a TV
stand rated for the weight of your TV.
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed
instructions for proper use of this product.
• Don’t let children to climb on or play with
entertainment system furniture and TVs.
• Don’t place TVs on furniture that can easily be used
as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
• Remember that children can become excited while
watching a program, especially on a “larger-than-life”
TV. Make sure that you place or install the TV where
it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
• Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that
they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.
Wall mounting
If you decide to wall mount your TV, always:
• One size of wall mount does not fit all. Use only a wall mount rated for the weight
of your TV and that has been recommended by this TV manufacturer, listed in this
manual, or otherwise listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, or
ETL) as suitable for your TV.
• Follow all instructions supplied by the TV and wall mount manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely wall mount your TV, get help
from a professional installer.
• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the TV is
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be
mounted to walls backed with steel studs or cinder blocks.
If you are unsure, ask a professional installer.
• TVs can be heavy. At least two people are required for safe wall mount
installation.

Safety information
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.
Warning
Your TV contains tin-lead solder and a fluorescent
lamp containing a small amount of mercury.
Disposal of these materials may be regulated for
environmental reasons. For disposal or recycling
information, contact your local authorities or the
Electronic Industries Alliance at www.eia.org.
Important safety instructions
1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.
4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use your TV near water.
6 Clean the cabinet with a dry cloth only.
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 is 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 your TV.
11 Only use attachments or accessories
specified by the manufacturer.
12 Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer.
13 Unplug your TV during lightning
storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
15 Servicing is required when your TV has been
damaged in any way, such as the
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into
your TV, your TV has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
16 Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall
outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets,
extension cords, frayed power cords, or
damaged or cracked wire insulation are
dangerous. Any of these conditions could
result in electric shock or fire. Periodically
examine the cord of your TV, and if its
appearance indicates damage or
deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of
your TV, and have the cord replaced with an
exact replacement part by an authorized
service person. Protect the power cord from
physical or mechanical abuse, such as being
twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to
plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the
cord exits your TV.
17 Ensure that you connect the earth ground
wire to prevent possible electric shock. If
grounding methods are not possible, have a
qualified electrician install a separate circuit
breaker. Do not try to ground the unit by
connecting it to telephone wires, lightening
rods, or gas pipes.
18 The main plug is the disconnecting device.
The plug must remain readily operable.
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
This reminder is provided to call the CATV
system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of
the NEC that provides guidelines for correct
grounding and in particular, specifies that the
cable ground must be connected to the
grounding system of the building as close to the
point of cable entry as practical.
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.
Non-active pixels
The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film
transistors, which provide exceptionally sharp
video quality. Occasionally, a few nonactive
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.

Connecting an outside antenna
Antenna cables come in two types: 75 ohm and
300 ohm.
75 ohm cable
300 ohm cable
• If your antenna cable has a 75 ohm
connector, connect the cable to the coaxial
jack on the back of your TV.
• If your antenna cable has a 300 ohm
connector, connect the cable to a
300-75 ohm adapter (not included), connect
the adapter to a 75 ohm cable, then connect
the other end of the 75 ohm connector to the
coaxial jack on the back of your TV.
Connecting cable TV
Your TV has a 75 ohm jack for connecting cable
TV.
Some cable TV providers scramble the signals
for “premium” (pay) channels. To view these
channels, you need a converter/descrambler
box.
If you do not have a converter/descrambler box,
you can connect your cable TV directly to your
TV. If you have a converter/descrambler box,
you can connect your cable TV using an RF
switch (not supplied). For more information
about connecting a converter/descrambler box,
contact your cable TV provider.
