Safety information

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
• 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 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.

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.

• Reduce the brightness and contrast settings to the lowest level you can tolerate.
• Do not display a fixed image for an extended period of time.
• Turn off your TV when you are not using it.

• Do not leave your TV in a hot or cold location.
• Do not expose your TV to direct sunlight.
