FCC NOTICE

Class B digital device

This equipment has been tested and found to com­ply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pur­suant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio fre­quency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or televi­sion reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.

- Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is con­nected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

CAUTION

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

The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol, within an equilateral triangle,

is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of elec­tric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equi-

lateral triangle is intended to alert the

user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instruc­tions in the literature accompanying the

appliance.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO

USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER TO

QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

WARNING/CAUTION

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELEC­TRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRO-

DUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

NOTE TO CABLE/TV INSTALLER

This reminder is provided to call the CATV sys­tem installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the
National Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code pro­vides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall
be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of the cable

entry

as practical.

Read these instructions.
Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appa­ratus (including amplifiers)that produce heat.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong, The wide blade
or the third prong are provided for your safe­ty. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement
of the obsolete outlet.

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, disconti-

nue use of the appliance, and have the cord
replaced with an exact replacement part by an

authorized servicer. 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, wall outlets, and the point where the
cord exits the appliance.

FEATURES OF THIS TV

What is a Plasma TV ?

Using plasma is the best way to achieve flat panel
displays with excellent image quality and large screen
sizes that are easily viewable. The Plasma TV can be
thought of as a descendant of the neon lamp and or
a series of fluorescent lamps.

How does it work?

Plasma TV is an array of cells, known as pixels, which
are comprised of three sub-pixels, corresponding to
the colors red, green, and blue. Gas in a plasma state
is used to react with phosphors in each sub-pixel to
produce colored light (red, green, or blue). These
phosphors are the same types used in Cathode Ray
Tube (CRT) devices such as televisions and common
computer monitors.

Plasma TV offers a rich, dynamic display because
each sub-pixel is individually controlled by advanced
electronics to produce over 16 million different col­ors. This means that you get perfect images that are
easily viewable in a display that is fewer than five
inches thick.

160° - Wide angle range of vision

Your flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally
broad viewing angle of over 160 degrees. This means
that the display is clear and visible to viewers any­where in the room.

Wide Screen

The wide screen offers a theater-like experience in
your own home.

Multimedia

Connect your plasma display to a PC and use it for
conferencing, games, and Internet browsing. The
Picture-in-Picture feature allows you to view your PC
and video images simultaneously.

Versatile

The light weight and thin size makes it easy to install
your plasma display in a variety of locations where
conventional TVs do not fit.

The Plasma TV Manufacturing Process: a few
minute colored dots may be present on the
Plasma TV screen

The Plasma TV is composed of 0.9

to 2.2 million

cells. A few cell defects will normally occur in the
Plasma TV manufacturing process. Several tiny,
minute colored dots visible on the screen should be
acceptable. This also occurs in other Plasma TV
manufacturers' products. The tiny dots appearing
does not mean that this Plasma TV is defective. Thus
a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the
Plasma TV to be exchanged or returned. Our pro­duction technology minimizes these cell defects dur­ing the manufacture and operation of this product.

Cooling Fan Noise (This feature is not available for all models.)

In the same way that a fan is used in a PC computer
to keep the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cool, the
Plasma TV is equipped with cooling fans to cool the
Monitor and improve its reliability. Therefore, a cer­tain level of noise could occur while the fans are
operating and cooling the Plasma TV.

The fan noise doesn't have any negative effect on
the Plasma TV's efficiency or reliability. The noise
from these fans is normal during the operation of
this product. We hope you understand that a certain
level of noise from the cooling fans is acceptable and
is not sufficient cause for the Plasma TV to be
exchanged or returned.

FOR LCD TV

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 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 distortion effects on
the screen.

ATTACHING THE TV TO A WALL

32/37/42LB4D 37/42/47LB5D

We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed backwards.
Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in a forward direction,
potentially causing injury or damaging the product.
Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.

■

Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as shown in the picture.
*Insert the eye-bolts and tighten them securely in the upper holes.

Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (not provided as parts of the product, must purchase separately ) to
the wall. Match the height of the bracket that is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.

Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.

■

Use a sturdy rope (not provided as parts of the
product, must purchase separately) to tie the
product. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes
horizontal between the wall and the product.
