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, 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.

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.

1Use the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts to fix the 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.

2Secure the wall brackets with the bolts on the wall. Match the height of the bracket that is mounted on the wall.

3

3Use a sturdy rope to tie the product for alignment. 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.

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, 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.

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.

1Use the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts to fix the 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.

2Secure the wall brackets with the bolts on the wall. Match the height of the bracket that is mounted on the wall.

3

3Use a sturdy rope to tie the product for alignment. 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.

3Mount the Wall Mounting Bracket for the wall to the place you want using the Wall Anchors and Screws as shown below. You can adjust the level of the Wall Mounting Bracket with the level gauge attached.

Wall Anchor

Screw

31 Drill holes with depth of 80 mm - 100 mm at the anchor location with a 8 mm drill bit.

32 Clean the drilled holes.

33 Insert the Wall Anchor provided in the hole.

34 Push the Wall Mounting Bracket for the wall to the wall aligning with the hole. Make sure that the angle adjusting knob is located on the upper side of the Wall Mounting Bracket.

35 Screw the Screw for the Wall Mounting Bracket into the hole. At this time, fasten the Screw applying a torque of at least 45 kgf•cm.

NOTE

►Check► the material of the wall and thickness of finishing material.

►You► can use the anchors and screws provided with the TV set for the wall made with concrete, lightweight concrete, soft fieldstone, hard fieldstone, brick or cellular block.

►Do► not mount on the wall made with plaster board or medium density fibreboard (MDF).               

In this case, the anchor and screws must be inserted in the concrete inside of finishing material. If there is no concrete inside, you must install a separate hanger first and fix the anchors and screws.

►For► other cases, make sure that each fixed part can resist the pull-out load of 70 kgf (686 N) and shear load of 100 kgf.

WALL MOUNT: HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION

■■It is recommended to use the wall mounting bracket provided with the TV set when mounting to the wall.

■■LG recommends that wall mounting be performed by a qualified professional installer.

NOTE

►Should► Install wall mount on a solid wall perpendicular 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 mounted 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:

-If you use a third-party wall mounting bracket:

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

-Not following the recommended Installation method.

►The► wall mounting bracket provided is a fixed type. Pulling it too hard may cause damage to the TV set.
