CAUTION concerning the Power Cord
y
(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.
ENGLISH

Grounding
y
(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 threeprong grounded AC plug must be connected to a threeprong 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.

Dot Defect
y
The Plasma or LCD panel is a high technology product with
resolution of two million 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 pixels and do
not affect the performance and reliability of the TV.
Generated Sound
y
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.

y
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
y
flicker when it is turned on. This is normal, 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

ENGLISH
WARNING
Viewing Environment
Viewing Time
y
- 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
Some users may experience a seizure or other abnormal
y
symptoms when they are exposed to a flashing light or
particular pattern from 3D contents.
Do not watch 3D videos if you feel nausea, are pregnant
y
and/ or have a chronic illness such as epilepsy, cardiac
disorder, or blood pressure disease, etc.
3D Contents are not recommended to those who suffer
y
from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly. Double images or
discomfort in viewing may be experienced.
If you have strabismus (cross-eyed), amblyopia (weak
y
eyesight) or astigmatism, you may have trouble sensing
depth and easily feel fatigue due to double images. It is
advised to take frequent breaks than the average adult.
If your eyesight varies between your right and left eye,
y
revise your eyesight prior to watching 3D contents.
Symptoms which require discontinuation or
refraining from watching 3D contents
Do not watch 3D contents when you feel fatigue from lack
y
of sleep, overwork or drinking.
When these symptoms are experienced, stop using/
y
watching 3D contents 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.
CAUTION
Viewing Environment
Viewing Distance
y
- Maintain a distance of at least twice the screen diagonal
length when watching 3D contents. If you feel discomfort
in viewing 3D contents, move further away from the TV.
Viewing Age
Infants / Children
y
- Usage/ Viewing 3D contents for children under the age of
5 are 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 contents.
- 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.
Teenagers
y
- Teenagers under the age of 19 may be stimulated to light
coming from 3D videos. Advise them not to watch 3D
videos for a long time when they are tired.
Elderly
y
- 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
Be sure to use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise, you may not be
y
able to view 3D videos properly.
Do not use 3D glasses instead of your normal glasses,
y
sunglasses or protective goggles.
Using modified 3D glasses may cause eye strain or image
y
distortion.
Do not keep your 3D glasses in extremely high or low
y
temperatures. It will cause deformation.
The 3D glasses are fragile and are easy to be scratched.
y
Always use a soft, clean piece of cloth when wiping the
