4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

yyWarning - To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this product to rain, moisture or other liquids. Do not touch the TV with wet hands. Do not install this product near flammable objects such as gasoline or candles, or expose the TV to direct air conditioning.

yyDo not expose to dripping or splashing and do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, cups, etc. on or over the apparatus (e.g. on shelves above the unit).

yyGrounding

(Except for devices which are not grounded.) Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire to prevent possible electric shock

(i.e. a TV with a three-prong grounded AC plug must be connected to a three-prong grounded AC outlet). If grounding methods are not possible, have a qualified electrician install a separate circuit breaker. Do not try to ground the unit by connecting it to telephone wires, lightening rods, or gas pipes.

yyAs long as this unit is connected to the AC wall outlet, it is not disconnected from the AC power source even if the unit is turned off.

yyDo not attempt to modify this product in any way without written authorization from LG Electronics. Unauthorized modification

could void the user’s authority to operate this product.

yyANTENNAS Outdoor Antenna Grounding

(Can differ by country):

If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity

of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits as death or serious injury can occur. Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges

and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S.A. provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Viewing 3D Imaging (For 3D models)

WARNING

Viewing Environment

yyViewing 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

yySome users may experience a seizure or other abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a flashing light or particular pattern from 3D contents.

yyDo 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.

yy3D Contents are not recommended to those who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly. Double images or discomfort in viewing may be experienced.

yyIf 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.

yyIf your eyesight varies between your right and left eye, revise your eyesight prior to watching 3D contents.
