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

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
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, lightning
rods, or gas pipes.
Short-circuit
Breaker
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.

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.
