Step 1

Unpack your Insignia television from its box and check to see that its power cord, remote control and other accessories are included. Set aside the empty box and Styrofoam packing to be discarded once you have set up your television and confirm it is working properly.

Step 2

Choose a sturdy surface, such as a counter top or shelf, on which to place your Insignia television. Insert the screen into its base and tighten a screw in the base with a Phillips screwdriver to attach the two pieces. Install an appropriately-sized television wall mount, following its installation directions if you choose instead to have the television placed on a wall.

Spend a moment to get familiar with the television's side, front and back panels. Find the remote control that came with your television and install two AA batteries in the device. Connect the power cord that came with the television to the back of the unit and into an outlet. Power on the television.
