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.

Troubleshooting

Licenses

• Cannot control the TV with the remote control.

• No image display and no sound is produced.

• The TV turns off suddenly.

• Abnormal Display

• Generated Sound

14

- Check if anything such as tape has been placed
over the receiver.

- Check if there is any obstacle between the
product and the remote control.

- Replace the batteries with new fresh ones.

- Check if the product is turned on.

- Check if the power cord is connected to a wall
outlet.

- Check if there is a problem in the wall outlet by
connecting other products.

- Check the power control settings.
The power supply may be interrupted.

- Check if the Sleep Timer / Off Time feature is
activated in the TIME settings.

- If there is no signal while the TV is on, the TV
will turn off automatically after 15 minutes of
inactivity.

- 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.

- This panel is an advanced product that contains
millions of 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.

- Displaying a still image for a prolonged period
of time may cause an image sticking. Avoid
displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for a
extended length of time.

- 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 high­speed 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.

WARNING!

Never place a television set in an unstable
location. A television set may fall, causing serious
personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly
to children, can be avoided by taking simple
precautions such as:

• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the

manufacturer of the television set.

• Only using furniture that can safely support the

television set.

• Ensuring the television set is not overhanging

the edge of the supporting furniture.

• Not placing the television set on tall furniture

(for example, cupboards or bookcases) without
anchoring both the furniture and the television
set to a suitable support.

• Not placing the television set on cloth or other

materials that may be located between the
television set and supporting furniture.

• Educating children about the dangers of

climbing on furniture to reach the television set
or its controls.

If your existing television set is being retained
and relocated, the same considerations as above
should be applied.
