head 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 dis-
charge unit, connection to grounding elec-
trodes and requirements for the grounding
electrode.

FEATURE OF THIS TV
■
When a fixed image e.g. logos, screen menus, video game, and computer display) is displayed on the TV
for an extended period, it can become permanently imprinted on the screen. This phenomenon is known
as “image burn” or “burn-in.” Image burn is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
■
In order to prevent image burn, avoid displaying a fixed image on your TV screen for a prolonged period
2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for Plasma).
■
Image burn can also occur on the letterboxed
areas of your TV if you use the 4:3 aspect
ratio setting for an extended period.

In addition to adhering to the new Energy Star 3.0
specification, LG HDTVs have energy-saving options
like the ability to choose a content-specific setting,
"video mute" or engaging exclusive Intelligent Sensor
technology.

of ambient light, LG’s “Intelligent Sensor” uses 4,096
sensing steps to evaluate its surroundings. Using a
sophisticated algorithm, the LG processes picture
quality elements including brightness, contrast, color,
sharpness and white balance. The result is a picture
optimized for it’s surroundings, more pleasing to
watch and which can also save up to 50% in power
consumption.
Stream movies, TV shows and video, and get up to the
minute news, stock information and weather updates
directly to your TV using Yahoo!, Netflix, YouTube and
