IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Important safety instructions shall be provided with each apparatus. This information shall be given in a separate booklet or sheet, or be located before any operating instructions in an instruction for installation for use and supplied with the apparatus.

This information shall be given in a language acceptable to the country where the apparatus is intended to be used. The important safety instructions shall be entitled “Important Safety Instructions”. The following safety

instructions shall be included where applicable, and, when used, shall be verbatim as follows. Additional safety information may be included by adding statements after the end of the following safety instruction list. At the manufacturer’s option, a picture or drawing that illustrates the intent of a specific safety instruction may be placed immediately adjacent to that safety instruction:

Read these instructions. Keep these instructions. Heed all warnings. Follow all instructions.

Do not use this apparatus near water.

Clean only with dry cloth.

Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)that produce heat.

When mounting a TV it on the wall, make sure not to install TV by the hanging power and signal cables on the back of the TV.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong, The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

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

Use only with the 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.

Never touch this apparatus or antenna during a thunder or lighting storm.

Do not allow a impact shock or any objects to fall into the product, and do not drop onto the screen with something.

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 exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord : Most appliances recommend they 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 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.

Outdoor use marking : WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or elec-

tric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

Wet Location Marking : Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on or over apparatus.

GGRROOUUNN DD IINNGG

CAUTION

PREPARATION

VESA WALL MOUNTING

Install your wall mount on a solid wall perpendicular to the floor. When attaching to other building materials, please contact your nearest dealer.

If installed on a ceiling or slanted wall, it may fall and result in severe personal injury. We recommend that you use an LG brand wall mount when mounting the TV to a wall.

Do not install your wall mount kit while your TV is turned on. It may result in personal injury due to electric shock.

CAUTION

Screw length needed depends on the wall mount used. For further information, refer to the instructions included with the mount.

Standard dimensions for wall mount kits are shown in the table.

When purchasing our wall mount kit, a detailed installation manual and all parts necessary for assembly are provided.

Do not use screws longer then the standard dimension, as they may cause damage to the inside to the TV.

For wall mounts that do not comply with the VESA

standard screw specifications, the length of the screws may differ depending on their specifications.

Do not use screws that do not comply with the VESA standard screw specifications.

Do not use fasten the screws too strongly, this may damage the TV or cause the TV to a fall, leading to personal injury. LG is not liable for these kinds of accidents.

LG is not liable for TV damage or personal injury when a non-VESA or non specified wall mount is used or the consumer fails to follow the TV installation instructions.

SECURING THE TV TO THE WALL TO PREVENT FALLING

PREPARATION

We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed backwards. Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in a forward direction,

potentially causing injury or damaging the product. Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.

■

Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as shown in the picture.

*If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the bolts. * Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and tighten them securely in the upper holes.

Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (not provided as parts of the product, must purchase separately) to the wall. Match the height of the bracket that is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.

Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.

■

Use a sturdy rope (not provided as parts of the product, must purchase separately) to tie the product. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes horizontal between the wall and the product.

■

You should purchase necessary components to prevent TV from falling off of the stand.

■

Image shown may differ from your TV.

Use a platform or cabinet strong enough and large enough to support the size and weight of the TV.

To use the TV safely, make sure that the height of the bracket on the wall and the one on the TV are the same.

EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT SETUP

To get the the best picture quality, adjust the PC graphics card to 1360x768.

Depending on the graphics card, DOS mode may not work if a HDMI to DVI Cable is in use.

In PC mode, there may be noise associated with the resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or brightness. If noise is present, change the PC output to another resolution, change the refresh rate to another rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the PICTURE menu until the picture is clear.

Avoid keeping a fixed image on the screen for a long period of time. The fixed image could become permanently imprinted on the screen.

The synchronization input form for Horizontal and Vertical frequencies is separate.

Depending on the graphics card, some resolution settings may not allow the image to be positioned on the screen properly.
