•Grounding
(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.

source even if the unit is turned off.
•Do 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.
•Outdoor 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.

•Do not use high voltage electrical equipment
near the TV, (e.g., a bug zapper.)
This may result in product malfunction.
•Dot Defect
This panel is an advanced product that contains
millions of 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.
•Generated 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.
•Take 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.
•Do 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.
•If 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.
•Displaying a still image for a prolonged period
of time may cause an image sticking. Avoid
displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for a
extended length of time.
