When assembling the desk type stand, check whether the bolt is fully tightened. (If not tightened fully,
the product can tilt forward after the product installation.) If you tighten the bolt with excessive force,
the bolt can deviate from abrasion of the tightening part of the bolt.

Carefully place the TV screen side down

KENSINGTON SECURITY SYSTEM

■ This feature is not available for all models.
■ Image shown may differ from your TV.

The TV is equipped with a Kensington Security
System connector on the back panel. Connect
the Kensington Security System cable as shown
below.

For the detailed installation and use of the
Kensington Security System, refer to the user’s
guide provided with the Kensington Security
System.

For further information, contact http://www.kens­ington.com, the internet homepage of the
Kensington

company. Kensington sells security systems for
expensive electronic equipment such as note­book PCs and LCD projectors.

NOTE

► The Kensington Security System is an optional

accessory.

► If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a

small “flicker” when it is turned on.

This is normal

► 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 monitor'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 distortio
effects on the screen.

, there is nothing wrong with TV.

CAREFUL INSTALLATION ADVICE

■ You should purchase necessary components

to fix the TV safety and secure to the wall on
the market.

■ Position the TV close to the wall to avoid the

possibility of it falling when pushed.

■ The instructions shown below are a safer way

to set up the TV, by fixing it to the wall, avoid­ing the possibility of it falling forwards if pulled.
This will prevent the TV from falling forward
and causing injury. This will also prevent the
TV from damage. Ensure that children do not
climb or hang from the TV.

1

2

Use the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts to fix the

1

product to the wall as shown in the picture.
(If your TV has bolts in the eyebolts, loosen then

bolts.)
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and

tighten them securely in the upper holes.

Secure the wall brackets with the bolts on the

2

wall. Match the height of the bracket that is
mounted on the wall.

1

2

3

A-6

Use a sturdy rope to tie the product for align-

3

ment. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes
horizontal between the wall and the product.

NOTE

► When moving the TV undo the cords first.
► Use a platform or cabinet strong and large

enough to support the size and weight of the TV.

► To use the TV safely make sure that the height of

the bracket on the wall and on the TV is the
same.

■ The TV can be installed in various ways such as

on a wall, or on a desktop etc.

■ The TV is designed to be mounted horizontally.

EARTHING

Ensure that you connect the earth wire to prevent
possible electric shock. If grounding methods are
not possible, have a qualified electrician install a
separate circuit breaker.

Do not try to earth the TV by connecting it to tele­phone wires, lightening rods or gas pipes.

DESKTOP PEDESTAL INSTALLATION

■ Image shown may differ from your TV.

NOTE

►Should Install wall mount on a solid wall per-

pendicular to the floor.

►Should use a special wall mount, if you want

to install it to ceiling or slanted wall.

►The surface that wall mount is to be mount-

ed on should be of sufficient strength to sup­port the weight of TV set; e.g. concrete, nat­ural rock, brick and hollow block.

►Installing screw type and length depends on

the wall mount used. Further information,
refer to the instructions included with the
mount.

►LG is not liable for any accidents or damage

to property or TV due to incorrect installa­tion:

- Where a non-compliant VESA wall mount
is used.

- Incorrect fastening of screws to surface
which may cause TV to fall and cause per­sonal injury.

- Not following the recommended Installation
method.
