IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
Short-circuit
Breaker
Power Supply
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
Short-circuit
Breaker
Power Supply
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
Do not stick metal objects or any other conductive
material into the power cord. Do not touch the end
of the power cord while it is plugged in.
Keep the packing anti-moisture material or vinyl
packing out of the reach of children. Anti-moisture
material is harmful if swallowed. If swallowed
by mistake, induce vomiting and go the nearest
hospital. Additionally, vinyl packing can cause
suffocation. Keep it out of the reach of children.
CAUTION concerning the Power Cord
(Can differ by country):
It is recommended that appliances be placed upon a
dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which
powers only that appliance and has no additional
outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification
page of this owner’s manual to be certain. Do
not connect too many appliances to the same AC
power outlet as this could result in fire or electric
shock. Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded
wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets,
extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or
cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these
conditions could result in electric shock or fire.
Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and
if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration,
unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have
the cord replaced with an exact replacement part
by an authorized service. Protect the power cord
from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being
twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked
upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets,
and the point where the cord exits the appliance. Do
not move the TV with the power cord plugged in.
Do not use a damaged or loose power cord. Be sure
do grasp the plug when unplugging the power cord.
Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the TV.

4IMPORTANT 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, lightening rods, or gas pipes.
Short-circuit
Breaker
Power Supply
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.

Cleaning
When cleaning, unplug the power cord and wipe
gently with a soft cloth to prevent scratching. Do
not spray water or other liquids directly on the TV
as electric shock may occur. Do not clean with
chemicals such as alcohol, thinners, or benzine.
Moving
Make sure the product is turned off, unplugged,
and all cables have been removed. It may take 2 or
more people to carry larger TVs. Do not press or put
stress on the front panel of the TV.
Ventilation
Install your TV where there is proper ventilation. Do
not install in a confined space such as a bookcase.
Do not cover the product with cloth or other
materials while plugged. Do not install in excessively
dusty places.
If you smell smoke or other odors coming from
the TV, unplug the power cord and contact an
authorized service center.
Keep the product away from direct sunlight.
Never touch this apparatus or antenna during a
lightning storm.
When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure not
to install the TV by hanging the power and signal
cables on the back of the TV.
Do not allow an impact shock, any objects to fall
into the product, and do not drop anything onto the
screen.
Disconnecting the Main Power
The power outlet used with this device must remain
easily accessible.
Store the accessories (battery, etc.) in a safe
location out of the reach of children.
This apparatus uses batteries. In your community
there might be regulations that require you
to dispose of these batteries properly due to
environmental considerations. Please contact your
local authorities for disposal or recycling information.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
Do not short circuit, disassemble, or allow the
batteries to overheat.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Dot Defect
The panel is a high technology product with
resolution of two million to six million pixels. In
a very few cases, you could see fine dots on
the screen while you’re viewing the TV. Those
dots are deactivated pixels and do not affect the
performance and reliability of the TV.
Generated Sound
Cracking noise: A cracking noise that occurs when
watching or turning off the TV is generated by
plastic thermal contraction due to temperature and
humidity. This noise is common for products where
thermal deformation is required.
Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A low level
noise is generated from a high-speed switching
circuit, which supplies a large amount of current
to operate a product. It varies depending upon the
product.
This generated sound does not affect the
performance and reliability of the product.
Take care not to touch the ventilation openings.
When watching the TV for a long period, the
ventilation openings may become hot. This does
not affect the performance of the product or cause
defects in the product.
If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a
small flicker when it is turned on. This is normal,
there is nothing wrong with TV. Some minute dot
defects may be visible on the screen, appearing as
tiny red, green, or blue spots. However, they have
no adverse effect on the TV’s performance. Avoid
touching the LCD screen or holding your finger(s)
against it for long periods of time. Doing so may
produce some temporary distortion effects on the
screen.
Preventing Image burn or Burn-in on your TV
screen
If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for a
long period of time, it will be imprinted and become
a permanent disfigurement on the screen. This
is image burn or burn-in and not covered by the
warranty.
If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a
long period of time, image burn may occur on the
letterboxed area of the screen.
Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for
a long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD, 1
or more hours for the Plasma TV) to prevent image
burn.
For USA and Canada
