appliances to the same AC power outlet as this
could result in fire or electric shock. Do not

overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets,
loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords,

frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked
wire insulation are dangerous. Any 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, discontinue 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. Do

not move theTV with the power cord plugged

do not place objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, cups, etc. on or over the apparatus (e.g.,

on shelves above the unit).

3

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 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.
