For proper ventilation, allow a clearance of 10 cm on each side and from the wall. Detailed installation instructions are available from your dealer, see the optional Tilt Wall Mounting Bracket Installation and Setup Guide.

If you intend to mount the Monitor to a wall, attach a Wall mounting interface (optional parts) to the back of the set. When you install the Monitor using a wall mounting interface (optional parts), attach it carefully so it will not fall.

10 cm

Please, use a wall mount and screws in

accordance with VESA Standards.

If you use screws longer than standard, the

monitor might be damaged internally.

10 cm

CAUTION

Disconnect the power before installing or



moving the monitor. Otherwise electric shock may occur. If you install the Monitor on a ceiling or



slanted wall, it may fall and result in severe injury. Use an authorized LG wall mount and contact the local dealer or qualified personnel. Do not over tighten the screws as this may



cause damage to the Monitor and void your warranty. Use screws and wall mounts that meet the



VESA standard. Any damages or injuries by misuse or using an improper accessory are not covered by the warranty.

NOTE

The wall mount kit includes an installation



manual and necessary parts. The wall mount bracket is optional. You can



obtain additional accessories from your local dealer. The length of screws may differ depending



on the wall mount. Be sure to use the proper length. For more information, refer to the instructions



supplied with the wall mount.

If you use improper screws, the product might

be damaged and drop from mounted position. In this case, LG Electronics is not responsible for damage.

(Depending on model)

Insert and tighten the eye-bolts, or product

brackets and bolts on the back of the product.

- If there are bolts inserted at the eye-bolts position, remove the bolts first.

WARNING

If a product is not positioned in a sufficiently

stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

»Using cabinets or stands recommended

by the manufacturer of the product.

»Only using furniture that can safely

support the product.

»Ensuring the product is not overhanging

the edge of the supporting furniture.

»Not placing the product on tall furniture

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

»Not standing the product on cloth or other

materials placed between the product and supporting furniture.

»Educating children about the dangers of

climbing on furniture to reach the product or its controls.

ENGLISH

ENG

Mount the wall brackets with the bolts to the

wall.

Match the location of the wall bracket and the eye-bolts on the rear of the product.

Connect the eye-bolts and wall brackets tightly

with a sturdy rope.

Make sure to keep the rope horizontal with the flat surface.

CAUTION

Make sure that children do not climb on or



hang on the product.

NOTE

Use a platform or cabinet that is strong and



large enough to support the product securely. Brackets, bolts and ropes are optional. You



can obtain additional accessories from your local dealer.
