CAUTION : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER
TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The symbol is intended to alert the user

to the presence of uninsulated dangerous
voltage within the product’s enclosure that
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to persons.

The symbol is intended to alert the user

to the presence of important operating
and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the device.

WARNING : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Clean only with dry cloth.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install 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 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.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.

2

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.

• 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.

• Do not press strongly upon the panel with a
hand or a sharp object such as a nail, pencil, or
pen, or make a scratch on it.

• Do not stick metal objects or any other
conductive material into the power cord. Do
not touch the end of the power cord while it is
plugged in.

• Keep the packing anti-moisture material or
vinyl packing out of the reach of children.
Anti-moisture material is harmful if swallowed.
If swallowed, induce vomiting and go to the
nearest hospital. Additionally, vinyl packing can
cause suffocation. Keep it out of the reach of
children.

• Concerning the Power Cord
(Can differ by country):
Check the specification page of this owner’s
manual to be certain concerning current
requirements. Do not connect too many
devices 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 device,
and if its appearance indicates damage or
deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of
the device, 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 device. Do not
move 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.

ENGLISH

• 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.

• Grounding
(Except for devices which are not grounded.)
Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire
to prevent possible electric shock (i.e., a TV
with a three-prong grounded AC plug must
be connected to a three-prong grounded AC
outlet). If grounding methods are not possible,
have a qualified electrician install a separate
circuit breaker. Do not try to ground the unit by
connecting it to telephone wires, lightning rods,
or gas pipes.

• As long as this unit is connected to the AC wall
outlet, it is not disconnected from the AC power
source even if the unit is turned off.

• Do not attempt to modify this product in any
way without written authorization from LG
Electronics. Unauthorized modification could
void the user’s authority to operate this product.

• Outdoor Antenna Grounding
(Can differ by country):
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 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.

Mounting on a Wall

An optional wall mount can be used with your
LG Television. Consult with your local dealer for
a wall mount that supports the VESA standard
used by your TV model. Carefully attach the wall
mount bracket at the rear of the TV. Install the wall
mount bracket on a solid wall perpendicular to the
floor. If you are attaching the TV to other building
materials, please contact qualified personnel to
install the wall mount. Detailed instructions will
be included with the wall mount. We recommend
that you use an LG brand wall mount. The LG wall
mount is easy to adjust or to connect the cables.
When you do not use LG’s wall mount bracket,
use a wall mount bracket where the device is
adequately secured to the wall with enough space
to allow connectivity to external devices. If you are
using a non-adjustable mount, attach the mount
to the wall. Attach the cables to the TV first, then
attach the TV to the mount.

1 Insert and tighten the eye-bolts or TV brackets

and bolts on the back of the TV.

- If there are bolts inserted at the eye-bolts
position, remove the bolts first.

2 Mount the wall brackets with the bolts to the

wall. Match the location of the wall bracket and
the eye-bolts on the rear of the TV.

3 Connect the eye-bolts and wall brackets tightly

with a sturdy rope or cable. Make sure to keep
the rope parallel to the flat surface.
