Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality Insignia product. Your NS-PDP42 represents the state of the art in plasma TV design and is designed for reliable and trouble-free performance.

Note

A few small colored dots may be present on your plasma TV screen. This is normal in plasma TVs and does not mean that your plasma TV is defective.

Note

Your plasma TV has cooling fans that insure reliable operation. When the fans are running there is a small amount of noise. This is normal and does not mean that your plasma TV is defective.

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.

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

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 plasma TV. This label is located on the back of your plasma TV.

This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying your plasma TV.

Important safety instructions

1 Read these instructions. 2 Keep these instructions. 3 Heed all warnings. 4 Follow all instructions. 5 Do not use your plasma 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.

www.insignia-products.com

Insignia NS-PDP42 42" Plasma TV-720P

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 plasma 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 plasma TV during

lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14 Refer all servicing to qualified service

personnel. Servicing is required when your plasma 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 plasma TV, your plasma TV has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15 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 plasma TV, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of your plasma 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 plasma TV.

16 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.

17 The main plug is the disconnecting device.

The plug must remain readily operable.

18 If an outside antenna or cable system is

connected to your plasma TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (USA) provides guidelines for correct 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 the cable entry as practical.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
