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-LCD37HD-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
Warning
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 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 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.
Read instructions
Read all of the safety and operating instructions
before you use your TV.
Retain instructions
Retain safety and operating instructions for
future reference.
Follow warnings and instructions
Follow all warnings on your TV and in the
operating instructions. Follow all operating and
use instructions.
Water and moisture
Do not use your TV 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.
Cleaning
Unplug your TV before cleaning. Do not use
liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth
to clean the exterior of your TV.
Note
If your TV requires uninterrupted service for some
specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss
of an authorization code for a CATV converter,
ignore the instruction to unplug your TV before
cleaning.
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 TV on
a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not
place your TV 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
you provide correct ventilation or follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Heat
Make sure that your TV 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.
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 TV.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by
Insignia because they may cause hazards.
Stand
Do not place your TV on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table. Your TV may fall, causing
serious personal injury and serious
damage to your TV. Use only with a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with
your TV. If you mount your TV to the wall, follow
the manufacturer’s instructions and use a
mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer. Your TV and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause your TV and cart combination to overturn.
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.
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 TV
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 TV.
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.
www.insignia-products.com

Insignia NS-LCD37HD-09 37" LCD 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 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.
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.
Safety check
After completing any service or repair to this TV,
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 your TV dealer or local power
company.
Lightning
For added protection for your TV’s 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 helps prevent
damage to your TV from lightning and power line
surges.
Screen protection
Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop
your TV or hit the glass screen. If the screen
breaks, be careful of broken glass.
Pixel defect
Your TV’s screen is designed to display finely
detailed pictures. Occasionally, a few non-active
pixels may appear on the screen as fixed points
of blue, green, or red. This is not a defect and
does not affect your TV’s performance.
Power lines
An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or
other electric light of 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.
Temperature
Do not use in hot or cold locations. If you use
your TV in a cold location, the picture may leave
trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not a
malfunction. Your TV will return to normal
operation when the temperature returns to
normal.
Do not leave your TV in a hot or cold location. Do
not install your TV in a location that is exposed to
direct sunlight or near a heater. The cabinet may
warp and the screen may malfunction.
Storage temperature: 32°F to 122°F (0°C to
50°C)
Operating temperature: 41°F to 104°F (5°C to
40°C)
After Image
If you display a fixed image on the screen for an
extended amount of time, a permanent after
image may be burned into the screen. To avoid
this type of damage:
• Reduce the brightness and contrast settings
to a minimum viewing level.
• Do not display a fixed image for an extended
period of time. Examples of fixed images
include logos, video games, computer
images, teletext, and images displayed in 4:3
mode. This type of damage is not covered by
your warranty.
• Turn off your TV when it is not in use
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.
