IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 high-
speed 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 “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.

Viewing 3D Imaging
(For 3D models)
WARNING
Viewing Environment
Viewing Time
-
When watching 3D contents, take 5 - 15
minute breaks every hour. Viewing 3D
contents for a long period of time may cause
headache, dizziness, fatigue or eye strain.
Those that have a photosensitive seizure or
chronic illness
Some users may experience a seizure or
other abnormal symptoms when they are
exposed to a flashing light or particular
pattern from 3D contents.
Do not watch 3D videos if you feel nausea,
are pregnant and/ or have a chronic illness
such as epilepsy, cardiac disorder, or blood
pressure disease, etc.
3D Contents are not recommended to
those who suffer from stereo blindness
or stereo anomaly. Double images or
discomfort in viewing may be experienced.
If you have strabismus (cross-eyed),
amblyopia (weak eyesight) or astigmatism,
you may have trouble sensing depth and
easily feel fatigue due to double images. It
is advised to take frequent breaks than the
average adult.
If your eyesight varies between your right
and left eye, revise your eyesight prior to
watching 3D contents.
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.
CAUTION
Viewing Environment
Viewing Distance
-
Maintain a distance of at least twice the
screen diagonal length when watching 3D
contents. If you feel discomfort in viewing
3D contents, move further away from the TV.
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.
Elderly
- 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
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.

Use the Magic remote control within the maximum
communication distance (10 m, 32.8ft). Using the
remote control beyond this distance, or with an
object obstructing it, may cause a communication
failure.
A communication failure may occur due to nearby
devices. Electrical devices such as a microwave
oven or wireless LAN product may cause
interference, as these use the same bandwidth (2.4
GHz) as the Magic remote control.
The Magic remote control may be damaged or may
malfunction if it is dropped or receives a heavy
impact.
Take care not to bump into nearby furniture or other
people when using the Magic remote control.
Manufacturer and installer cannot provide service
related to human safety as the applicable wireless
device has possibility of electric wave interference.
It is recommended that an Access Point (AP) be
located more than 1 m (3.28 ft) away from the TV.
If the AP is installed closer than 1 m (3.28 ft), the
Magic remote control may not perform as expected
due to frequency interference.
