IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

y

a 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.

Preventing “Image burn” or “Burn-in” on

your TV screen

If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for

y

a long period of time, it will be imprinted and
become a permanent disfigurement on the
screen. This is “image burn” or “burn-in” and not
covered by the warranty.
If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a

y

long period of time, image burn may occur on the
letterboxed area of the screen.
Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen

y

for a long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD,
1 or more hours for the Plasma TV) to prevent
image burn.

Viewing 3D Imaging

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

y

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

y

nauseous, are pregnant and/ or have a
chronic illness such as epilepsy, cardiac

ENGLISH

disorder, or blood pressure disease, etc.
3D Content is not recommended for those

y

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

y

amblyopia (weak eyesight) or astigmatism,
you may have trouble sensing depth and
easily feel fatigue due to double images.
It is advised to take more frequent breaks
than the average adult.
If your eyesight varies between your right

y

and left 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

y

fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork, or
intoxication.
When these symptoms are experienced,

y

stop using/watching 3D content 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
content. If you feel discomfort in viewing
3D content, move further away from the
TV.

Viewing Age

Infants / Children

y

- Usage/ Viewing 3D content 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 content.

- 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

Only use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise,

y

you may not be able to view 3D videos
properly.
Do not use 3D glasses instead of your

y

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

y

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

y

high or 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.
