CAUTION concerning the Power Cord :

14

It is recommend that appliances be placed upon a
dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which
powers only that appliance and has no additional
outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification
page of this owner's manual to be certain.
Do not connect too many appliances to the same
AC power outlet as this could result in fire or elec­tric shock.
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 appliance, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deterioration,
unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and
have the cord replaced with an exact replacement
part by an authorized servicer. 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 the
appliance.
Do not make the TV with the power cord plugged
in. Do not use a damaged or loose power cord. Be
sure do grasp the plug when unplugging the power
cord. Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the
TV.

Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precau­tions below. An outdoor antenna system should not
be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or
other electric light or power circuits, or where it can
come in contact with such power lines or circuits as
death or serious injury can occur.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to pro­vide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in
the U.S.A. provides information with respect 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.

Antenna grounding according to the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

Cleaning

21

When cleaning, unplug the power cord and scrub
gently with a soft cloth to prevent scratching. Do not
spray water or other liquids directly on the TV as
electric shock may occur. Do not clean with chemi­cals such as alcohol, thinners or benzene.

Moving

22

Make sure the product is turned off, unplugged
and all cables have been removed. It may take 2 or
more people to carry larger TVs. Do not press
against or put stress on the front panel of the TV.

SECURING THE TV TO THE WALL TO PREVENT FALLING

!

WHEN THE TV IS USED ON A STAND

■

Image shown may differ from your TV.

We recommend that you set the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed backwards.
Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in a forward direction,

potentially causing injury or damaging the product.
Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.

■

Insert eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to attach the product to the wall as shown in the picture.

*If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the bolts.
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and tighten them securely in the upper holes.

Secure the wall brackets with screws (sold separately) to the wall. Match the height of the bracket that
is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.

Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.

PREPARATION

■

Use a sturdy rope or cord (sold separately) to tie the product. It is
safer to tie the rope so it becomes horizontal between the wall and
the product (the less slack in the rope, the better).

NOTE

Use a platform or cabinet strong enough and large enough to support the size and weight of the TV.

G

To use the TV safely, make sure that the height of the bracket on the wall and the one on the TV are

G

the same.

Use a pillow speaker by Curbell, Model A-16455-02 or other UL
recognized pendant control bearing the warning:

“Risk of fire if used in oxygen enriched atmosphere. Keep pen-

dant control away from oxygen equipment.”

Controlling the TV with Serial Data

The TV is capable of being controlled by a single-wire, serial data
signal. This is a LG patented technology and is being implemented
by certain brands of “smart” pillow speakers, such as Curbell’s
“GEN-II” models.

Pillow Speaker Interface

This connector furnishes three control lines and an audio output.
A patient-pendant remote control, or entertainment audio and
nurse call system may be connected here. All lines are isolated
from the AC power line and earth ground. (Optoisolators isolate
the control lines, and a transformer isolates the audio. There are
no relays or inductive components in the control lines.)

3

Common connection for control, data, and

10-meg resistor in parallel with a 1100 pf
capacitor.
Isolated audio output. Nominal 14-ohm source
impedance with short circuit protection.

5

Intended for a pillow speaker with a low-impe
ance pad-type volume control.

6

External Channel Down switch.

Controlling the TV with Mechanical Switches

Pin 4(common) is momentarily connected to pin
1, 3, or 6 via push-action switches to control
On/Off and Channel Up/Down. These pins are
at +13volts DC(when measured from pin4) with
the switches open. Current draw is 8 mA when a
switch is closed. (This operation is identical to
previous LG models using the 5-Wire Interface
except that only +7 volts DC was supplied and
current draw was only 2.5 mA.)
