yDo 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.
yKeep 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, force
the patient to vomit and visit the nearest
hospital. Additionally, vinyl packing can
cause suffocation. Keep it out of the reach
of children.
yCAUTION 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
yWarning - To reduce the risk of fire or
electrical shock, do not expose this product
to rain, moisture or other liquids. Do not
touch the TV with wet hands. Do not install
this product near flammable objects such
as gasoline or candles, or expose the TV to
direct air conditioning.
Short-circuit
Breaker

yDo not expose to dripping or splashing
and do not place objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, cups, etc. on or over the
apparatus (e.g. on shelves above the unit).
Short-circuit
Breaker
Power Supply
yGrounding
(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

Power Supply
yAs 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.
yDo 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.
yOutdoor 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.

yCleaning
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.
yMoving
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.
yVentilation
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.
yIf you smell smoke or other odors coming
from the TV, unplug the power cord and
contact an authorized service center.
yKeep the product away from direct sunlight.
yNever touch this apparatus or antenna
during a thunder or lightning storm.
yWhen 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.
yDo not allow an impact shock or any objects
to fall into the product, and do not drop
anything onto the screen.
yDisconnecting the Main Power
The power outlet used with this device
must remain easily accessible.
yStore the accessories (battery, etc.) in a
safe location out of the reach of children.
yThis apparatus use 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.
yDo not dispose of batteries in a fire.
yDo not short circuit, disassemble or allow
the batteries to overheat.
yDot Defect
The Plasma or LCD 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.
yGenerated 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 on the product.
This generated sound does not affect the
performance and reliability of the product.
yTake 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.
yIf 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
yIf 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.
yIf 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.
yAvoid 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.
