• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service

personnel. Servicing is required when
the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is

damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects

have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus

has been exposed to rain or moisture, does

not operate normally, or has been dropped.

• Do not stick metat objects or any other
conductive material into the power cord. Do
not touch the end of the power cord while it
is plugged in.

• Keep the packing anti-moisture material

or vinyl packing out of the reach of

children. Anti-moisture material is harmful
if swallowed. If swallowed by mistake,

induce vomiting and go to the nearest
hospital. Additionally, vinyl packing can
cause suffocation. Keep it out of the reach of

children.

• CAUTION concerning the Power Cord
(Can differ by country):
It is recommended 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 service. 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, walt outlets, and the point where

the cord exits the appliance. Do not move
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).

4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCT+ONS

Grounding

(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, lightning rods, or gas pipes.

• As long as this unit is connected to the AC
wall outlet, it is not disconnected from the AC
power source even if the unit is turned off.

• 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.

• 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
requirements for the grounding electrode.
Antenna grounding according to the National

Electrical Code, ANSl/NFPA 70

• Cleaning
When cleaning, unplug the power cord and

wipe gently with a soft cloth to prevent
scratching. Do not spray water or other
liquids directly on the TV as electric shock
may occur. Do not clean with chemicals such

as alcohol, thinners, or benzine.

• Moving
Make sure the product is turned off,

unplugged, and all cables have been
removed. It may take 2 or more people to
carry larger TVs. Do not press or put stress
on the front panel of the TV.

• Ventilation
Instalt your TV where there is proper

ventilation. Do not install in a confined space
such as a bookcase. Do not cover the product
with cloth or other materials while plugged.
Do not instalt in excessively dusty places.

• If you smell smoke or other odors coming
from the TV, unplug the power cord and

contact an authorized service center.

• Keep the product away from direct sunlight.

• Never touch this apparatus or antenna during
a lightning storm.

• When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure
not to install the TV by hanging the power
and signal cables on the back of the TV.

• Do not allow an impact shock, any objects to
fan into the product, and do not drop anything

onto the screen.

• DISCONNECTING DEVICE FROM THE MAIN
POWER

Mains plug is the disconnecting device. The
plug must remain readily operable.

• Store the accessories (battery, etc.) in a safe
location out of the reach of children.

• This apparatus uses batteries. In your
community there might be regulations that

require you to dispose of these batteries
properly due to environmental considerations.

Please contact your local authorities for
disposal or recycling information.

• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

• Do not short circuit, disassemble, or allow
the batteries to overheat.
