10cm

To install your monitor on a wall, attach a wall mounting bracket (optional part) to the back of the monitor.

Make sure that the wall mounting bracket is securely fixed to the monitor and to the wall.

that conform to VESA standards.

2 Screws which are longer than standard

length may damage the inside of the monitor.

3 A non-VESA standard screw may damage

the product and cause the monitor to fall.

LG Electronics is not liable for any accidents

1.0 mm x Length 12 mm

10cm

CAUTION

• Disconnect the power cord before moving or

installing the monitor to avoid risk of electric shock.

• If you install the monitor on a ceiling

or slanted wall, it may fall and result in injury. Use an authorized LG wall mount and contact your local dealer or qualified personnel to assist with the installation.

• Do not over tighten the screws as this may

damage the monitor and void your warranty.

• Use only screws and wall mounting brackets

that meet the VESA standard. Any damage or injuries caused by misuse or use of improper accessories are not covered by the warranty.

Securing the monitor to a wall (optional)

Procedure may differ depending on the model.

1 Insert and tighten the eyebolts, or brackets

and bolts on the back of the monitor.

- If there are already bolts inserted in the

eyebolts’ position, remove the other bolts first.

2 Mount the wall brackets with the bolts to the

wall. Match the location of the wall bracket and the eyebolts on the rear of the monitor.

3 Connect the eyebolts and wall brackets

tightly with a sturdy cord. Make sure the securing cord is horizontal with the flat surface.

WARNING

• If the monitor is not positioned in a

sufficiently stable location, there is a danger that it will fall. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

» Using cabinets or stands

recommended by the manufacturer.

» Only using furniture that can safely

support the monitor.

» Ensuring the monitor is not

overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

» Not placing the monitor on tall furniture

(for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the monitor to a suitable support.

» Not placing cloth or other materials

between the monitor and supporting furniture.

» Educating children about the dangers

of climbing on furniture to reach the monitor or its controls.

CAUTION

• Make sure that children do not climb on or

hang from the monitor.

NOTE

• Use a platform or cabinet that is large

and strong enough to support the monitor securely.

• Brackets, bolts, and cords are sold

separately. You can obtain additional accessories from your local retail store.

Tips for using USB storage devices

• Only a USB storage device can be recognized.

• A USB device does not work effectively when it is connected via a USB hub.

• A USB storage device using an automatic recognition program may not be recognized.

• A USB storage device using its own driver may not be recognized.

• The recognition speed of a USB storage device may depend on each device.

• Please do not turn off the display or unplug the USB storage device when the connected device is

working. If the USB storage device is suddenly disconnected, the stored files or the device itself may be damaged.

• Please do not connect a USB storage device which was modified to work on a PC. The device may

cause the monitor to malfunction or the content fail to be played. Use only a USB storage device which contains normal music, image or video files.

• A USB storage device formatted as a utility program not supported by Windows may not be

recognized.

• A USB storage device (over 0.5 A) which requires an external power supply must be connected to a

power supply separately. If it is not, the device may not be recognized.

• Please connect the USB storage device using the cable provided by the device manufacturer.

• Some USB storage devices may not be supported or operate smoothly.

• File alignment method of USB storage devices is similar to that of Window XP and filenames can

recognize up to 100 English characters.

• Back up important files regularly as data stored on a USB storage device may be damaged. We will

not be responsible for any data loss.

• If the USB HDD does not have an external power source, the USB device may not be detected. To

ensure the device is detected, connect the external power source.

- Please use a power adapter for an external power source. We do not provide a USB cable for an external power source.

• If your USB storage device has multiple partitions, or if you use a USB multi-card reader, you can use

up to four partitions or USB storage devices.

• If a USB storage device is connected to a USB multi-card reader, its volume data may not be

detected.

• If the USB storage device does not work properly, disconnect and reconnect it.

• Detection speed differs from device to device.

• If the USB storage device is connected in Standby Mode, the specific hard disk will automatically be

loaded when the display is turned on.

• The recommended capacity is 1 TB or less for a USB external hard drive and 32 GB or less for USB

memory stick.

• Any device with more than the recommended capacity may not work properly.

• If a USB external hard drive with an “Energy Saving” function does not work, try turning the hard drive

off and on again.
