yyProtect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
yyOnly use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
yyUse only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
yyUnplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
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.
yyDo 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.
yyKeep the packing anti-moisture material or vinyl packing out of the reach of children. Antimoisture 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.
yyCAUTION 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.
yyWarning - 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.
yyDo 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 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
<![endif]>ENGLISH
yyGrounding
(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 Short-circuit Supply
Breaker
yyAs 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.
yyDo 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.
yyOutdoor 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.

6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Viewing 3D Imaging (For 3D models)
WARNING
Viewing Environment
yyViewing 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
yySome users may experience a seizure or other abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a flashing light or particular pattern from 3D content.
yyDo not watch 3D videos if you feel nauseous, are pregnant and/ or have a chronic illness such as epilepsy, cardiac disorder, or blood pressure disease, etc.
yy3D content is not recommended for those who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly. Double images or discomfort in viewing may be experienced.
yyIf 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.
yyIf your eyesight varies between your right and left eye, you may experience eye strain.
Symptoms which require discontinuation or refraining from watching 3D contents
yyDo not watch 3D content when you feel fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork or intoxication. yyWhen these symptoms are experienced, stop using/watching 3D content 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS |
7 |
CAUTION
Viewing Environment
yyViewing Distance
-Maintain a distance of at least twice the screen diagonal length when watching 3D content. If you feel discomfort in viewing 3D content, move further away from the TV.
yyViewing Position (Only for SG Mode)
-Face the center of the screen at eye level with the head looking straight ahead. Otherwise, you maynot be able to view 3D contents
Viewing Age
yyInfants / Children
-Usage/ Viewing 3D content for children under the age of 5 is 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.
yyTeenagers
-Advise teenagers under the age of 19 not to watch 3D videos for a long time when they are tired. yyElderly
-The elderly may perceive less of a 3D effect than the youth. Do not sit closer to the TV than the recommended distance.
Cautions when using the 3D glasses
yyOnly use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise, you may not be able to view 3D videos properly. yyDo not use 3D glasses instead of your normal glasses, sunglasses or protective goggles. yyUsing modified 3D glasses may cause eye strain or image distortion.
yyDo not keep your 3D glasses in extremely high or low temperatures. It will cause deformation. yyThe 3D glasses are fragile and are easy to scratch. 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.
