SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Never touch this apparatus or antenna during
a thunder or lighting storm.

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.

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

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.

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).

GGRROOUU NNDD IINNGG

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.

DDIISSCCOONNNNEECCTTIINNGG DDEEVVIICCEE FFRROOMM MMAAIINNSS

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.

Do not install your wall mount kit while your TV is turned on. It may result in personal injury due to electric
shock.

CAUTION

GG

Screw length needed depends on the wall mount
used. For further information, refer to the instruc­tions included with the mount.

GG

Standard dimensions for wall mount kits are shown
in the table.

GG

When purchasing our wall mount kit, a detailed
installation manual and all parts necessary for
assembly are provided.

GG

Do not use screws longer then the standard dimen­sion, as they may cause damage to the inside to
the TV.

GG

For wall mounts that do not comply with the VESA
standard screw specifications, the length of the
screws may differ depending on their specifica­tions.

GG

Do not use screws that do not comply with the
VESA standard screw specifications.

Do not use fasten the screws too strongly, this may
damage the TV or cause the TV to a fall, leading to
personal injury. LG is not liable for these kinds of
accidents.

Precautions when using the USB device

GG

Only a USB storage device is recognizable.

GG

If the USB storage device is connected through a
USB hub, the device is not recognizable.

GG

A USB storage device using an automatic recogni­tion program may not be recognized.

GG

The recognition speed of a USB storage device
may depend on each device.

GG

Please do not turn off the TV or unplug the USB
device when the connected USB storage device is
working. When such device is suddenly separated
or unplugged, the stored files or the USB storage

fail to be played. Never forget to use only a USB
storage device which has normal music files or
image files.

GG

Please use only a USB storage device which was
formatted as a FAT or NTFS file system provided
with the Windows operating system. In case of a
storage device formatted as a different utility pro­gram which is not supported by Windows, it may
not be recognized.

GG

Please connect power to a USB storage device
which requires an external power supply. If not,
the device may not be recognized.

GG

Please connect a USB storage device with cable is
offered by USB maker. If connected with cable is
not offered by USB maker or an excessively long
cable, the device may not be recognized.

GG

Some USB storage devices may not be supported
or operated smoothly.

GG

Because the TV doesn’t support file sorting for
USB storage device, the file on the storage device
will be displayed in the order saved.

PARENTAL CONTROL / RATINGS

Parental Control can be used to block specific channels, ratings and other viewing sources.

The Parental Control Function (V-Chip) is used to block program viewing based on the ratings sent by the broad­casting station. The default setting is to allow all programs to be viewed. Viewing can be blocked by choosing the
type of the program and the categories. It is also possible to block all program viewing for a time period. To use
this function, the following must be done :

1. Set ratings and categories to be blocked.

2. Specify a password

3. Enable the lock

V-Chip rating and categories

Rating guidelines are provided by broadcasting stations. Most television programs and television movies can be
blocked by TV Rating and/or Individual Categories. Movies that have been shown at the theaters or direct-to­video movies use the Movie Rating System (MPAA)only.

Ratings for Television programs including made-for-TV movies :

■

TV-G(General audience

)

■

TV-PG(Parental guidance suggested

)

■

TV-14(Parents strongly cautioned

)

■

TV-MA (Mature audience only

)

■

TV-Y(All children

MAINTENANCE

Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you can
enjoy your new TV.

Caution: Be sure to turn the power off and unplug the power cord before you begin any cleaning.

Cleaning the Screen

Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm
water and a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then
use it to wipe the screen.

Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your TV.

Cleaning the Cabinet

■

To remove dirt or dust, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

■

Please be sure not to use a wet cloth.

Extended Absence

GG

If you expect to leave your TV dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good idea to unplug
the power cord to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges.
