4Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus

(including amplifiers)that produce heat.

5Do 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.

6Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

7Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

8Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold

with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

9Unplug this apparatus during lighting storms or when unused for long periods of time.

10 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

2

11	Never touch this apparatus or antenna during a
	thunder or lighting storm.
12	When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure not to
	install the TV by the hanging power and signal
	cables on the back of the TV.

13 Do not allow an impact shock or any objects to fall into the product, and do not drop onto the screen with something.

14 CAUTION concerning the Power Cord :

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.

15 WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this product to rain, moisture or other liquids. Do not touch the TV with wet hands. Do not install this product near flammable objects such as gasoline or candles or expose the TV to direct air conditioning.

16 Do not expose to dripping or splashing and do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, cups, etc. on or over the apparatus (e.g. on shelves above the unit).

■ 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.

■ 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

G 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

the same.

PILLOW SPEAKER SETUP (only 26/32LG3DCH model)

■ Connect a pillow speaker to the LCD TV/Monitor.

1. How to connect

	1	Connect the PILLOW SPEAKER output jack on the
		back of the TV.

2Connect an acccessory pillow speaker or wired remote control unit to this 6-pin jack.

Select PILLOW SPEAKER on the rear panel of the 3 TV.

■ NOTE: If the pillow speaker switch is set to Pillow Speaker, no sound will be heard from the TV speakers. Also, Auto Volume will be grayed out and not accessible on the Sound menu.

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 pendant 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.)

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.)
