WARNING

•Turn off the system before installation. Do not plug in several electric devices to the same outlet. -- This may cause over heating, fire, or electric shock.

•Do not place any liquid container on the system, such as water, coffee, or other beverage. -- If liquid is poured into the system, it can cause a system breakdown or fire.

•Prevent the power cable from being severely bent or having pressure exerted on it by a heavy object. -- This may cause fire.

•Dust around the system on a regular basis. When cleaning the system, always use a dry cloth. Do not use a wet cloth or other organic solvents.

-- This may damage the surface of the system and can cause a system breakdown or electric shock.

•Avoid placing the system near moisture, dust, or soot. -- This can cause fire or electric shock.

•When pulling the power cable from the plug, do so gently. Do not touch the plug with wet hands and avoid using the plug if the holes in the outlet are too loose.

-- This may cause fire or electric shock.

•Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the system on your own without seeking assistance from LG Electronics. It is extremely dangerous due to the high voltage running through the system.

-- This may cause fire, electric shock, or serious injury.

•Check for any danger signs such as a wet floor, a loosened or damaged power cable, or an unstable surface. If you encounter any problems, ask your dealer for assistance.

-- This may cause fire or electric shock.

•Install the system in a place with sufficient air ventilation. Keep at least 15 cm between the back of the system and the wall for the cables connected to the system, otherwise they may be bent, damaged, or cut.

-- This may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

•Install the system in a cool place without direct sunlight and always maintain room temperature. Avoid candlelight and heat generating devices such as heaters. Keep the system away from places where many people pass.

-- This may cause fire.

-- Recommended operating temperature is over 0 °C (32 °F).

•Install the system on a plain surface with sufficient air ventilation. Do not place the system on an elevated surface. -- This may cause system breakdown or serious injury.

•The power outlet must be placed on the ground, and the voltage range must be within 10 % of the voltage rate. Do not use the same outlet with a hair dryer, iron, refrigerator, or any heating appliances.

-- This may cause fire, over heating or electric shock.

•Do not touch power cords and signal cables while thunder and lightning. -- This can cause electric shock.

•Do not disconnect power cord during using. -- This may cause electric shock to product.

•Do not turn on or off the product by using power plug. (Do not use power plug as switch. This may cause electric shock or malfunction)

•If you are not used for a long time, separate from its power cord.

-- Dust accumulation may cause due to leakage, electric shock or fire due to heat, fire and insulation degradation due to leakage, electric shock or fire.
