To prevent fire or shock hazards, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OFFIRE AND ELECTRIC

RAIN OR MOISTURE,

Class B digital device This equipment has been tested and found to comply

with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to

Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed

to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. This equipment

generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to

radio or television reception, which can be determined

by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and

receiver.

- Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is connected.

-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved

by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the National

Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of the cable entry as practical.

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

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).

GROUNDING

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.

Power Supply

DISCONNECTING DEVICE FROM MAINS

Mains plug is the disconnecting device. The

plug must remain readily operable.

Keep the product away from direct sunlight.

ANTENNAS Outdoor antenna grounding

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. Antenna grounding according to the

National Electrical Code, ANSl/NFPA 70
