• Use a dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install your television in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Do not place your television on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Your television may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to your television. Use your television only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table sold with your television.

• Never attempt to move the television unless the AC power cord has been disconnected.

• Slots and openings in the sides, back, and bottom are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of your television, and to protect it from overheating.

• These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing your television on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface. Your television should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.

• Your television should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase, unless proper ventilation is provided.

• 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 are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Your television should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the power supplied to your home, ask your local power company.

• Do not let anything rest on the power cord, and do not locate your television where the cord may be stepped on. WarningTo reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your television to rain or moisture.WarningFor continued safety, replace safety critical components only with manufacturer’s recommended parts (refer to service literature).WarningTo reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover or back. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.This lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the television’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the television.CAUTIONRisk of Electric ShockDo Not Open2 Insignia NS-F27TV Television www.insignia-products.com

• If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your television, 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 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

• Use No. 10AWG (5.3 mm

) copper, No. 8AWG (8.4 mm

) aluminum, No. 17AWG (1.0 mm

) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire.

• Secure the antenna lead-in and ground wires to the house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22-1.83 meter) apart.

• Mount the antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where the lead-in enters the house.

• Use a jumper wire not smaller than No. 6AWG (13.3 mm

• For added protection for your television 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 it from the antenna or cable system. This prevents damage to your television due to lightning and power line surges.

• An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead 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.

• Do not overload power outlets and extension cords because overloading can cause a fire or electric shock.

• Never push objects of any kind into your television through slots in the case because they 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 television.

• Do not attempt to service your television yourself because opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service technicians.

• Unplug your television from the power outlet and refer servicing to qualified service technicians under the following conditions:

• When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled into your television.

• If your television has been exposed to rain or water.

• If your television 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 often requires extensive work by a qualified technician to restore normal operation.

• If your television has been dropped or the case has been damaged.

• When your television exhibits a distinct change in performance.

• 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, or other hazards.

• Upon completion of any service or repairs to your television, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that your television is safe to operate. Note to cable television system installer This reminder is provided to call the cable television system installer’s attention to Section 820 40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper 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 cable entry as practical.

Soft and indirect lighting is recommended for comfortable viewing. Connecting your television to an antenna or cable television Connecting video and audio equipment This television provides two groups of AV input terminals and one group of component input terminals for connecting to a VCR, a DVD player a video game console, or other video equipment. Before connecting your equipment, refer to the owner's manual of the equipment to be connected. Connecting using the side AV input terminals The side AV terminals are easy to access and should be used for equipment that you connect and disconnect frequently, such as a camcorder or portable DVD player. To connect using the side AV input terminals: 1 Connect the audio and video cables between the Audio (L,R) and Video terminals on the television and the video equipment. 2 Press the INPUT button on the remote control repeatedly until AV2 appears on the screen.

Symptom Possible cause Possible solution IGNITION: Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electric drills and other electric appliances. GHOSTS: Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception. SNOW: If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install an external antenna to improve the picture. RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE: This interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture. PICTURE SIZE VARIATION: A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST or BRIGHTNESS setting.18 Insignia NS-F27TV Television www.insignia-products.com Specifications Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
