affect the operation or performance of the product.

y

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 servicer.

y

Prevent dust collecting on the power plug pins or outlet.
This may cause a fire hazard.

y

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.

y

Do not press strongly upon the panel with a hand or sharp object such
as nail, pencil or pen, or make a scratch on it, as it may cause damage to
screen.

y

Avoid touching the screen or holding your finger(s) against it for long
periods of time. Doing so may produce some temporary or permanent

ENGLISH

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

y

When moving or unpacking the product, work in pairs because the product
is heavy.
Otherwise, this may result in injury.

y

Contact the service centre once a year to clean the internal parts of the
product.
Accumulated dust can cause mechanical failure.

y

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.

y

If the product feels cold to the touch, there may be a small “flicker” when it
is turned on. This is normal, there is nothing wrong with product.

y

The panel is a high technology display product with 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.

y

You may find different brightness and color of the panel 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.

y

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

y

Generated 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.

Viewing 3D Imaging (Only 3D models)

WARNING

Viewing Environment

yViewing 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

ySome users may experience a seizure or other abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a

ÀDVKLQJOLJKWRUSDUWLFXODUSDWWHUQIURP'FRQWHQWV

yDo 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.

y3D Contents are not recommended to those who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly.

Double images or discomfort in viewing may be experienced.

yIf 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.

yIf 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

yDo not watch 3D contents when you feel fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork or drinking.
yWhen 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

Viewing Environment

y 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

yInfants/Children

- 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 that of adults. Therefore they will perceive more stereoscopic
depth compared to adults for the same 3D image.

yTeenagers

- 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.

yElderly

- The elderly may perceive less 3D effect compared to the young. Do not sit closer to the TV than
the recommended distance.

Cautions when using the 3D glasses

y Make sure to use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise, you may not be able to view 3D videos properly.
y Do not use 3D glasses instead of your normal glasses, sunglasses or protective goggles.
y8VLQJPRGL¿HG'JODVVHVPD\FDXVHH\HVWUDLQRULPDJHGLVWRUWLRQ
y Do not keep your 3D glasses in extremely high or low temperatures. It will cause deformation.
y The 3D glasses are fragile and are easily 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.
