IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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.

• Use only with a 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.

• 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 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.

• CAUTION concerning the Power Cord

(Can differ by country):

It is recommended 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 service. 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 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.

• 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.

• 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).

ENGLISH

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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, lightening rods, or gas pipes.

Short-circuit

Breaker

Power

Supply

• 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 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Dot Defect

The panel is a high technology product with

resolution of two million to six million pixels.

In a very few cases, you could see fine dots

on the screen while you’re viewing the TV.

Those dots are deactivated pixels and do not

affect the performance and reliability of the

TV.

• Generated Sound

Cracking noise: A cracking noise that occurs

when watching or turning off the TV is

generated by plastic thermal contraction

due to temperature and humidity. This noise

is common for products where thermal

deformation is required. Electrical circuit

humming/panel buzzing: A low level noise

is generated from a high-speed switching

circuit, which supplies a large amount

of current to operate a product. It varies

depending upon the product. This generated

sound does not affect the performance and

reliability of the product.

• Take care not to touch the ventilation

openings. When watching the TV for a long

period, the ventilation openings may become

hot. This does not affect the performance of

the product or cause defects in the product.

• Do not install this product on a wall if it

could be exposed to oil or oil mist. This may

damage the product and cause it to fall.

• If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may

be a small flicker when it is turned on. This

is normal; there is nothing wrong with TV.

Some minute dot defects may be visible on

the screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or

blue spots. However, they have no adverse

effect on the TV’s performance. Avoid

touching the LCD screen or holding your

finger(s) against it for long periods of time.

Doing so may produce some temporary

distortion effects on the screen.

Preventing image burn or burn-in on your

TV screen

• If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for

a long period of time, it will be imprinted and

become a permanent disfigurement on the

screen. This is image burn or burn-in and not

covered by the warranty.

• If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a

long period of time, image burn may occur on

the letterboxed area of the screen.

• Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV

screen for a long period of time (2 or more

hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for the

Plasma TV) to prevent image burn.
