(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.

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

Dot Defect



The Plasma or LCD 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 high­speed switching circuit, which supplies
a large amount of current to operate a
product. It varies depending on 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.
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 “burn­in” 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.

Viewing Age

Infants / Children



- Usage/ Viewing 3D contents for children
under the age of 5 are prohibited.

- Children under the age of 10 may overreact
and become overly excited because their
vision is in development (for example: trying
to touch the screen or trying to jump into
it. Special monitoring and extra attention is
required for children watching 3D contents.

- Children have greater binocular disparity of
3D presentations than adults because the
distance between the eyes is shorter than
one of adults. Therefore they will perceive
more stereoscopic depth compared to
adults for the same 3D image.

Teenagers



- Teenagers under the age of 19 may be
stimulated to light coming from 3D videos.
Advise them not to watch 3D videos for a
long time when they are tired.



- The elderly may perceive less of a 3D
effect than the youth. Do not sit closer to
the TV than the recommended distance.

Cautions when using the 3D glasses

Symptoms which require discontinuation or
refraining from watching 3D contents

Do not watch 3D contents when you feel



fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork or
drinking.
When these symptoms are experienced,



stop using/watching 3D contents and get
enough rest until the symptom subsides.

- Consult your doctor when the symptoms
persist. Symptoms may include headache,
eyeball pain, dizziness, nausea, palpitation,
blurriness, discomfort, double image,
visual inconvenience or fatigue.

Make sure to use LG 3D glasses.



Otherwise, you may not be able to view 3D
videos properly.
Do not use 3D glasses instead of your



normal glasses, sunglasses or protective
goggles.
Using modified 3D glasses may cause eye



strain or image distortion.
Do not keep your 3D glasses in extremely



high or low temperatures. It will cause
deformation.
The 3D glasses are fragile and are easy to be



scratched. Always use a soft, clean piece of
cloth when wiping the lenses. Do not scratch
the lenses of the 3D glasses with sharp
objects or clean/wipe them with chemicals.
