(e.g. on shelves above the unit).

4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Grounding
(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, lightning rods, or gas pipes.

• As 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.

• Do 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.

• 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.
