SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please read these safety precautions carefully before using the product.

WARNING

yyDo not place the TV and/ or remote control in the following environments: --A location exposed to

direct sunlight

--An area with high humidity such as a bathroom

--Near any heat source such as stoves and other devices that produce heat

--Near kitchen counters or humidifiers where they can easily be exposed to steam or oil

--An area exposed to rain or wind

--Near containers of water such as vases

Otherwise, this may result in fire, electric shock, malfunction or product deformation.

yyDo not place the product where it might be exposed to dust.

This may cause a fire hazard.

yyMains Plug is the TV connecting/disconnecting device to AC mains electric supply. This plug must remain readily attached and operable when TV is in use.

yyDo not touch the power plug with wet hands. Additionally, if the cord pin is wet or covered with dust, dry the power plug completely or wipe dust off.

You may be electrocuted due to excess moisture.

yyMake sure to connect Mains cable to compliant AC mains socket with Grounded earth pin. (Except for devices which are not grounded on earth.) Otherwise possibility you may be electrocuted or injured.

yyInsert power cable plug completely into wall socket otherwise if not secured completely into socket, fire ignition may break out.

yyEnsure the power cord does not come into contact with hot objects such as a heater.

This may cause a fire or an electric shock hazard.

yyDo not place a heavy object, or the product itself, on power cables.

Otherwise, this may result in fire or electric shock.

yyBend antenna cable between inside and outside building to prevent rain from flowing in.

This may cause water damaged inside the Product and could give an electric shock.

yyWhen mounting TV onto wall make sure to neatly install and isolate cabling from rear of TV as to not create possibility of electric shock / fire hazard.

yyDo not plug too many electrical devices into a single multiple electrical outlet.

Otherwise, this may result in fire due to over-heating.

yyDo not drop the product or let it fall over when

connecting external devices.

Otherwise, this may result in injury or damage to the product.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

7

yyContact the service centre once a year to clean the internal parts of the product.

Accumulated dust can cause mechanical failure.

yyRefer 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.

yyIf 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.

yyThe 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.

yyYou may find different brightness and colour 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.

yyDisplaying 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.

yyGenerated 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 on the product.

This generated sound does not affect the performance and reliability of the product.

8SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Viewing 3D Imaging (Only 3D models)

WARNING

Viewing Environment

yy Viewing 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

yy Some users may experience a seizure or other abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a flashing light or particular pattern from 3D contents.

yy Do 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.

yy 3D Contents are not recommended to those who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly.

Double images or discomfort in viewing may be experienced.

yy If 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.

yy If 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

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

yy When 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.

CAUTION

Viewing Environment

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

yy Infants/Children

-- Usage/ Viewing 3D contents 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 contents.

-- 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.

yy Teenagers

-- 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.

yy Elderly

-- The elderly may perceive less 3D effect compared to the youth. Do not sit closer to the

TV than the recommended distance.

Cautions when using the 3D glasses

Make sure to use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise, you may not be able to view 3D videos properly.

Do not use 3D glasses instead of your normal glasses, sunglasses or protective goggles.

Using modified 3D glasses may cause eye strain or image distortion.

Do not keep your 3D glasses in extremely high or low temperatures. It will cause deformation.

The 3D glasses are fragile and are easy to be 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.
