network router or cable modem, then power on and/or connect the power cable again.
• Depending on the Internet Service Provider (ISP), the number of devices that can receive Internet service may be
limited by the applicable terms of service. For details, contact your ISP.

errors/malfunctions associated with your Internet connection, or other connected equipment.
• LG is not responsible for problems with your Internet connection.
• You may experience undesired results if the network connection speed does not meet the requirements of the
content being accessed.
• Some Internet connection operations may not be possible due to certain restrictions set by the Internet Service
Provider (ISP) supplying your Internet connection.
• Any fees charged by an ISP including, without limitation, connection charges are your responsibility.
NOTE
• If you want to access the Internet directly on your display, the Internet connection should always be on.
• If you cannot access the Internet, check the network conditions from a PC on your network.
• When you use Network Setting, check the LAN cable or check if DHCP in the router is turned on.
