SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When moving the product, make sure you turn the power

y

off first. Then, unplug the power cables, antenna cables and
all connecting cables.
The TV set or power cord may be damaged, which may
create a fire hazard or cause electric shock.

When moving or unpacking the product, work in pairs

y

because the product is heavy.
Otherwise, this may result in injury.

Contact the service centre once a year to clean the internal

y

parts of the product.
Accumulated dust can cause mechanical failure.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing

y

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.

If the product feels cold to the touch, there may be a small

y

“flicker” when it is turned on. This is normal, there is nothing
wrong with product.

The panel is a high technology display product with

y

resolution of two million to six million pixels. You may see
tiny black dots and/or brightly coloured dots (red, blue
or green) at a size of 1 ppm on the panel. This does not
indicate a malfunction and does not affect the performance
and reliability of the product.
This phenomenon also occurs in third-party products and is
not subject to exchange or refund.

You may find different brightness and color of the panel

y

depending on your viewing position(left/right/top/down).
This phenomenon occurs due to the characteristic of the
panel. It is not related with the product performance, and it
is not malfunction.

ENGLISH

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Displaying a still image (e.g., broadcasting channel logo, on-screen menu,

y

scene from a video game) for a prolonged time may cause damage to
the screen, resulting in retention of the image, which is known as image
sticking. The warranty does not cover the product for image sticking.
Avoid displaying a fixed image on your television’s screen for a prolonged
period (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for Plasma).
Also, if you watch the TV at a ratio of 4:3 for a long time, image sticking
may occur on the borders of the panel.
This phenomenon also occurs in third-party products and is not subject to
exchange or refund.

yGenerated Sound

“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs when watching or turning off
the TV is generated by plastic thermal contraction due to tempera-ture 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.

Do not use high voltage electrical goods near the TV (e.g. electricmosquito-

y

swatter).
This may result in product malfunction.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

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.

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, correct 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

y

or drinking.
When these symptoms are experienced, stop using/watching 3D contents

y

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.

ENGLISH

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

Viewing Environment

Viewing Distance

y

- 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

y

- Usage/ Viewing 3D contents for children under the age of 6 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

y

- Teenagers under the age of 19 may react with sensitivity due to

-

stimulation from light in 3D contents. Advise them to refrain from watching
3D contens for a long time when they are tired.

Elderly

y

- The elderly may perceive less 3D effect compared to 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

y

3D videos properly.
Do not use 3D glasses instead of your normal glasses, sunglasses or

y

protective goggles.
Using modified 3D glasses may cause eye strain or image distortion.

y

Do not keep your 3D glasses in extremely high or low temperatures. It will

y

cause deformation.
The 3D glasses are fragile and are easily scratched. Always use a soft,

y

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.

Mounting on a wall

Attach an optional wall mount bracket
at the rear of the TV carefully and in­stall the wall mount bracket on a solid

wall perpendicular to the oor. When

you attach the TV to other building
materials,

please contact qualied personnel.

LG recommends that wall mounting
be performed by a qualied profes­sional installer.
We recommend the use of LG’s wall
mount bracket.
When you do not use LG’s wall
mount bracket, please use a wall
mount bracket where the device is
adequately secured to the wall with
enough space to allow connectivity to
external devices.
