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

for an extended period, it can become permanently imprinted on the screen. This phenomenon is known
as “image burn” or “burn-in.” Image burn is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.

■

In order to prevent image burn, avoid displaying a fixed image on your TV screen for a prolonged period

(2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for Plasma).

■

Image burn can also occur on the letterboxed

areas of your TV if you use the 4:3 aspect
ratio setting for an extended period.

VESA WALL MOUNTING

PREPARATION

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

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.
LG recommends that wall mounting be performed by a qualified professional installer.

GG

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

CAUTION

GG

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

GG

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

GG

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

GG

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

GG

For wall mounts that do not comply with the VESA

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

GG

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.

GG

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.

PREPARATION

SECURING THE TV TO THE WALL TO PREVENT FALLING WHEN THE TV IS USED ON A STAND

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 (sold 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 (sold 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 the TV from tipping over (when not using a wall mount).

■

Image shown may differ from your TV.

GG

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

GG

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.
