f Grounding
(Except for devices which are not grounded.) Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire to prevent possible electric shock (i.e. a TV with a three-prong grounded AC plug must be connected to a three-prong grounded AC outlet). If grounding methods are not possible, have a qualified electrician install a separate circuit breaker. Do not try to ground the unit by connecting it to telephone wires, lightning rods, or gas pipes.
f As long as this unit is connected to the AC
wall outlet, it is not disconnected from the AC power source even if the unit is turned off.
f Do not attempt to modify this product in
any way without written authorization from LG Electronics. Unauthorized modification
ENGLISH

f Outdoor Antenna Grounding
(Can differ by country): If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits as death or serious injury can occur. Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S.A. provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode.

f Dot Defect
The panel is a high technology product with resolution of two million to six million pixels. In a very few cases, you could see fine dots on the screen while you’re viewing the TV. Those dots are deactivated pixels and do not affect the performance and reliability of the TV.
f Generated Sound
Cracking noise A cracking noise that occurs when watching or turning off the TV is generated by plastic thermal contraction due to temperature 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 upon the product. This generated sound does not affect the performance and reliability of the product.
f Take care not to touch the ventilation
openings. When watching the TV for a long period, the ventilation openings may become hot. This does not affect the performance of the product or cause defects in the product.
f Do not install this product on a wall if it
could be exposed to oil or oil mist. This may damage the product and cause it to fall.
f 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 TV’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.
Preventing image burn or burn-in on your TV screen
f If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for
a long period of time, it will be imprinted and become a permanent disfigurement on the screen. This is image burn or burn-in and not covered by the warranty.
f If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a
long period of time, image burn may occur on the letterboxed area of the screen.
f Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV
screen for a long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for the Plasma TV) to prevent image burn.

Viewing Age
f Infants / Children
- Usage/ Viewing 3D content for children under the age of 5 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 content.
- 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.
f Teenagers
- Teenagers under the age of 19 may be stimulated to light coming from 3D videos. Advise them not to watch 3D videos for a long time when they are tired.
f Elderly
- The elderly may perceive less of a 3D effect than the youth. Do not sit closer to the TV than the
ENGLISH
recommended distance.
Cautions when using the 3D glasses
f Only use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise, you may not be able to view 3D videos properly. f Do not use 3D glasses instead of your normal glasses, sunglasses, or protective goggles. f Using modified 3D glasses may cause eye strain or image distortion. f Do not keep your 3D glasses in extremely high or low temperatures. It will cause deformation. f The 3D glasses are fragile and are easily scratched. 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.
