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.
Safety information
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.
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.
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.

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 Mains 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.
Features
Your plasma TV features:
• Wide viewing angle (over 160°) so the screen
is clearly visible anywhere in the room.
• Widescreen display for viewing movies in a
theater-like experience.
• Light-weight and thin design that makes it
easy to install your plasma TV in locations
where conventional TVs do not fit.
Your package should contain:
• Your plasma TV
• Remote control and batteries
•Power cord
• Round 75 ohm cable
• Eye-bolts (2)
• Bolts (2)
• Wall brackets (2)
