ENGENGLI SH
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
yAvoid touching the screen or holding your finger(s) against it for long periods of time.
Doing so may produce some temporary or permanent distortion/damage to screen.
yWhen cleaning the product and its components, unplug the power first and wipe it with
a soft cloth. Applying excessive force may cause scratches or discolouration. Do not
spray with water or wipe with a wet cloth. Never use glass cleaner, car or industrial
shiner, abrasives or wax, benzene, alcohol etc., which can damage the product and its
panel.
Otherwise, this may result in fire, electric shock or product damage (deformation,
corrosion or breakage).
yAs long as this unit is connected to the AC wall outlet, it is not disconnected from the AC power source even if
you turn off this unit by SWITCH.
yWhen unplugging the cable, grab the plug and unplug it, by pulling at the plug. Don’t
pull at the cord to unplug the power cord from the power board, as this could be
hazardous.
yWhen moving the product, make sure you turn the power off first. Then, unplug the
power cables, antenna cables and all connecting cables.
The TV set or power cord may be damaged, which may create a fire hazard or cause
electric shock.
yWhen moving or unpacking the product, work in pairs because the product is heavy.
Otherwise, this may result in injury.
yContact the service centre once a year to clean the internal parts of the product.
Accumulated dust can cause mechanical failure.
yRefer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
yIf the product feels cold to the touch, there may be a small “flicker” when it is turned on.
This is normal, there is nothing wrong with product.
yThe panel is a high technology display product with resolution of two million to six
million pixels. You may see tiny black dots and/or brightly coloured dots (red, blue or
green) at a size of 1 ppm on the panel. This does not indicate a malfunction and does
not affect the performance and reliability of the product.
This phenomenon also occurs in third-party products and is not subject to exchange or
refund.
10
ENG
ENGLI SH
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
yYou may find different brightness and colour of the panel depending on your viewing
position(left/right/top/down).
This phenomenon occurs due to the characteristic of the panel.
It is not related with the
product performance, and it is not malfunction.
yDisplaying a still image (e.g., broadcasting channel logo, on-screen menu, scene from a video game) for a
prolonged time may cause damage to the screen, resulting in retention of the image, which is known as image
sticking. The warranty does not cover the product for image sticking.
Avoid displaying a fixed image on your television’s screen for a prolonged period (2 or more hours for LCD, 1
or more hours for Plasma).
Also, if you watch the TV at a ratio of 4:3 (4:3 or 16:9 for 21:9 model) for a long time, image sticking may occur
on the borders of the panel. When watching the TV for a long period of time, please use the default screen
ratio.
This phenomenon also occurs in third-party products and is not subject to exchange or refund.
yGenerated 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 highspeed 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.
yDo not use high voltage electrical goods near the TV (e.g. electric mosquito-swatter). This may result in
product malfunction.

Viewing 3D Imaging (Only 3D models)
WARNING
Viewing Environment
yViewing 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
ySome users may experience a seizure or other abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a flashing light
or particular pattern from 3D contents.
yDo 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.
y3D Contents are not recommended to those who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly. Double
images or discomfort in viewing may be experienced.
yIf 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.
yIf 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
yDo not watch 3D contents when you feel fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork or drinking.
yWhen 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
CAUTION
Viewing Environment
yViewing 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
yInfants/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.
yTeenagers
- 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.
yElderly
- The elderly may perceive less 3D effect compared to the youth. Do not sit closer to the TV than the
recommended distance.
Cautions when using the 3D glasses
yMake sure to use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise, you may not be able to view 3D videos properly.
yDo not use 3D glasses instead of your normal glasses, sunglasses or protective goggles.
yUsing modified 3D glasses may cause eye strain or image distortion.
yDo not keep your 3D glasses in extremely high or low temperatures. It will cause deformation.
yThe 3D glasses are fragile and are easily scratched. Always 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.
