yRefer 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.
Short-circuit
Breaker
Power Supply
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.

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).

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.

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 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 upon 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.
yDo not install this product on a wall if it could be
exposed to oil or oil mist. This may damage the product
and cause it to fall.
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.

NOTE TO CABLE/TV INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the
National Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
specifies that the cable ground shall be connected
to the grounding system of the building, as close
to the point of the cable entry as practical.
