CAREFUL INSTALLATION ADVICE
You should purchase necessary components to fix the TV safety and secure to the wall on the market.
Position the TV close to the wall to avoid the possibility of it falling when pushed.
The instructions shown below are a safer way to set up the TV, by fixing it to the wall, avoiding the possibility of it falling
forwards if pulled. This will prevent the TV from falling forward and causing injury. This will also prevent the TV from
damage. Ensure that children do not climb or hang from the TV.

➊Use the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts to fix the product to the wall as shown in the picture.
(If your TV has bolts in the eyebolts, loosen these bolts.)
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and tighten them securely in the upper holes.
➋Secure the wall brackets with the bolts on the wall. Match the height of the bracket that is mounted on the wall.
3
➌Use a sturdy rope to tie the product for alignment. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes horizontal between the wall and the
product.
NOTE
When moving the TV undo the cords first.
Use a platform or cabinet strong and large enough to support the size and weight of the TV.
To use the TV safely make sure that the height of the bracket on the wall and on the TV is the same.

PREPERATION
PREPARATION
The TV can be installed in various ways such as on a wall, or on a desktop etc.
The TV is designed to be mounted horizontally.
EARTHING
Ensure that you connect the earth wire to prevent possible
electric shock. If grounding methods are not possible, have a
qualified electrician install a separate circuit breaker.
Do not try to earth the TV by connecting it to telephone wires,
lightening rods or gas pipes.
WALL MOUNT: HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
We recommend the use of a LG Brand wall mounting bracket when mounting the TV to a wall.
We recommend that you purchase a wall mounting bracket which supports VESA standard.
LG recommends that wall mounting be performed by a qualified professional installer.
NOTE
Should Install wall mount on a solid wall perpendicular to the floor.
Should use a special wall mount, if you want to install it to ceiling or slanted wall.
The surface that wall mount is to be mounted on should be of sufficient strength to support the weight of TV set; e.g.
concrete, natural rock, brick and hollow block.
Installing screw type and length depends on the wall mount used. Further information, refer to the instructions included
with the mount.
LG is not liable for any accidents or damage to property or TV due to incorrect installation:
- Where a non-compliant VESA wall mount is used.
- Incorrect fastening of screws to surface which may cause TV to fall and cause personal injury.
- Not following the recommended Installation method.
