ENGENGLISH
Displaying a still image (e.g., broadcasting channel logo, on-screen menu, scene from a video game
or computer screen) for a prolonged time may cause damage to the screen, resulting in retention
of the image, which is known as image sticking. It can remain for long time or never disappear.
The warranty does not cover the product for image sticking. Avoid displaying a fixed image on your
television’s screen for a prolonged period (1 or more hours for OLED).
Also, if you watch the TV at a ratio of 4:3 for a long time, image sticking may occur on the borders of
the panel.
This phenomenon also occurs in third-party products and is not subject to exchange or refund.
Generated Sound
“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs when watching or turning off the TV is generated by
plastic thermal contraction due to tempera-ture 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 on the product.
This generated sound does not affect the performance and reliability of the product.

Viewing 3D Imaging (Only 3D models)
WARNING
Viewing Environment
Viewing 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
Some users may experience a seizure or other abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a
ashing light or particular pattern from 3D contents.
Do not watch 3D videos if you feel nausea, are pregnant 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 from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly. Double
images or discomfort in viewing may be experienced.
If 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 than
the average adult.
If your eyesight varies between your right and left eye, 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 of sleep, overwork or drinking.
When these symptoms are experienced, stop using/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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
CAUTION
Viewing Environment
Viewing Distance
- 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
- Usage/ Viewing 3D contents for children under the age of 6 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
- Teenagers under the age of 19 may react with sensitivity due to stimulation from light in 3D
contents. Advise them to refrain from watching 3D contens for a long time when they are tired.
Elderly
- The elderly may perceive less 3D effect compared to the youth. Do not sit closer to the TV than the
recommended distance.
ENGENGLISH
Cautions when using the 3D glasses
Make sure to use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise, you may not be able to view 3D videos properly.
Do not use 3D glasses instead of your normal glasses, sunglasses or protective goggles.
Using modied 3D glasses may cause eye strain or image distortion.
Do not keep your 3D glasses in extremely high or low temperatures. It will cause deformation.
