moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord

(Can differ by country):

It is recommended that appliances be placed upon a
dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which
powers only that appliance and has no additional
outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification
page of this owner's manual to be certain. Do
not connect too many 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 service. 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 the TV with the power cord plugged in.

Do not use a damaged or loose power cord. Be sure
do grasp the plug when unplugging the power cord.

Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the TV.

• 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.

• Do not stick metal objects or any other conductive
material into the power cord. Do not touch the end
of the power cord while it is plugged in.

• Keep the packing anti-moisture material or vinyl
packing out of the reach of children. Anti-moisture

material is harmful if swallowed. If swallowed
by mistake, induce vomiting and go the nearest

hospital. Additionally, vinyl packing can cause
suffocation. Keep it out of the reach of children.

Warning - To reduce the risk of fire or electrical
shock, do not expose this product to rain, moisture
or other liquids. Do not touch the TV with wet

hands. Do not install this product near flammable
objects such as gasoline or candles, or expose the
TV to direct air conditioning.

Do not expose to dripping or splashing and do not
place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, cups,
etc. on or over the apparatus (e.g. on shelves above

the unit).

4 MPORTANT SAFETY NSTRUCT ONS

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, lightening rods, or gas pipes.

Power Supply

As long as this unit is connected to the AC walt
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 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.
Antenna grounding according to the National

Electrical Code, ANSl/NFPA 70

• Cleaning
When cleaning, unplug the power cord and wipe
gently with a soft cloth to prevent scratching. Do
not spray water or other liquids directly on the TV
as electric shock may occur. Do not clean with

chemicals such as alcohol, thinners, or benzine.

• Dot Defect
The panel is a high technology product with

resolution of two mitiion 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 pixets and do not affect the
performance and reliability of the TV.

• 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.

• 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.

• If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a

small flicker when it is turned on. This is normat,
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.
