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 on the product. This generated sound does not affect the performance and reliability of the product. Take care not to touch the ventilation openings.

y

When 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

y

small “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 screen.

ENGLISH

WARNING

Viewing Environment

Viewing Time

y

- When watching 3D content, take 5 - 15 minute breaks every hour. Viewing 3D content 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

y

abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a flashing light or particular pattern from 3D content. Do not watch 3D videos if you feel nauseous,

y

are pregnant and/ or have a chronic illness such as epilepsy, cardiac disorder, or blood pressure disease, etc. 3D Content are not recommended for those who

y

suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly. Double images or discomfort in viewing may be experienced. If you have strabismus (cross-eyed), amblyopia

y

(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

y

eye, revise your eyesight prior to watching 3D content.

Symptoms which require discontinuation or refraining from watching 3D content

Do not watch 3D content when you feel fatigue

y

from lack of sleep, overwork or intoxication . When these symptoms are experienced, stop using/

Make sure to use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise, you

y

may not be able to view 3D videos properly. Only use 3D glasses instead of your normal glasses,

y

sunglasses or protective goggles. Using modified 3D glasses may cause eye strain or

y

image distortion. Do not keep your 3D glasses in extremely high or

y

low temperatures. It will cause deformation. The 3D glasses are fragile and are easy to

y

scratched. 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.

Precautions to Take when Using the Magic Remote Control

ENGLISH

How to use Magic Remote Control

1 You can move the pointer by moving the

remote up and down or left and right.

If the pointer does not work properly,



wait 10 seconds and then try again.

2 If the pointer disappears, move the remote

control slightly to left or right. It will then automatically appear on the screen.

If the pointer has not been used for a



certain period of time, it will disappear.

Use the Magic remote control within the maximum

y

communication distance (10 m, 32.8ft). Using the remote control beyond this distance, or with an object obstructing it, may cause a communication failure. A communication failure may occur due to nearby devices.

y

Electrical devices such as a microwave oven or wireless LAN product may cause interference, as these use the same bandwidth (2.4 GHz) as the Magic remote control. The Magic remote control may be damaged or may

y

malfunction if it is dropped or receives a heavy impact. Take care not to bump into nearby furniture or other

y

people when using the Magic remote control. Manufacturer and installer cannot provide service related

y

to human safety as the applicable wireless device has possibility of electric wave interference. It is recommended that an Access Point (AP) be located

y

more than 1 m (3.28 ft) away from the TV. If the AP is installed closer than 1 m (3.28 ft), the Magic remote control may not perform as expected due to frequency interference.
