 Refer 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.

 Do 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.
 Keep the packing anti-moisture material or
vinyl packing out of the reach of children. Anti-
moisture material is harmful if swallowed. If
swallowed, force the patient to vomit and visit
the nearest hospital. Additionally, vinyl packing
can cause suffocation. Keep it out of the reach
of children.
 CAUTION concerning the Power Cord
(Can differ by country):
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.

 Grounding
(Except for devices which are not grounded.)
Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire
to prevent possible electric shock (i.e., aTV 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.

 As 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.
 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.

 Cleaning
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 benzene.
 Moving
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 theTV.
 Ventilation
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 in. Do not install in
excessively dusty places.
 If you smell smoke or other odors coming from
the TV, unplug the power cord and contact an
authorized service center.
 Keep the product away from direct sunlight.
 Never touch this apparatus or antenna during a
thunder or lightning storm.
 When 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.
 Do not allow an impact shock or any objects to fall
into the product, and do not drop anything onto
the screen.
 DISCONNECTINGTHE DEVICE FROMTHE MAIN
POWER
The power plug is the disconnecting device. In
case of an emergency, the Power Plug must remain
readily accessible.
 Batteries
Store the accessories (battery, etc.) in a safe location
out of the reach of children.
 This apparatus uses 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.
 Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
 Do not short circuit, disassemble or allow the
batteries to overheat.
 Do not use high voltage electrical equipment
near the TV, (e.g., a bug zapper). This may result in
product malfunction.
 Dot 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 theTV.Those

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 theTV 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 withTV. 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
 If a fixed image displays on theTV 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.
 If 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.
 Avoid displaying a fixed image on theTV screen
for a long period of time (1 or more hours for
OLED) to prevent image burn.
 Preventing Screen Burn
Displaying still images, such as a station’s logo,
subtitle, screen menu, video game or computer
screen, for a long time may damage the screen,
causing screen burn which can remain for a
long time or never disappear. Do not display still
images for over an hour.
