yOnly use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
yUse only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
yUnplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
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.
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

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.
yWarning - To reduce the risk of fire or electrical
shock, do not expose this product to rain,

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
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.

6IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Viewing 3D Imaging
WARNING
Viewing Environment
yViewing Time
- When watching 3D content, take 5 - 15
minute breaks every hour. Viewing 3D
content for a long period of time may
cause headache, dizziness, fatigue or eye
strain.
Those that have a photosensitive seizure
or chronic illness
ySome users may experience a seizure or
other abnormal symptoms when they are
exposed to a flashing light or particular
pattern from 3D content.
yDo not watch 3D videos if you feel
nauseous, are pregnant and/ or have a
chronic illness such as epilepsy, cardiac
disorder, or blood pressure disease, etc.
y3D Content is not recommended for those
who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo
anomaly. Double images or discomfort in
viewing may be experienced.
yIf you have strabismus (cross-eyed),
amblyopia (weak eyesight) or astigmatism,
you may have trouble sensing depth and
easily feel fatigue due to double images.
It is advised to take more frequent breaks
than the average adult.
yIf your eyesight varies between your right
and left eye, revise your eyesight prior to
watching 3D content.
Symptoms which require discontinuation
or refraining from watching 3D content
yDo not watch 3D content when you feel
fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork, or
intoxication.
yWhen these symptoms are experienced,
stop using/watching 3D content and get
enough rest until the symptom subsides.
- Consult your doctor when the symptoms
persist. Symptoms may include headache,
eyeball pain, dizziness, nausea, palpitation,
blurriness, discomfort, double image, visual
inconvenience, or fatigue.
CAUTION
Viewing Environment
yViewing Distance
- Maintain a distance of at least twice the
screen diagonal length when watching 3D
content. If you feel discomfort in viewing
3D content, move further away from the
TV.
Viewing Age
yInfants / Children
- Usage/ Viewing 3D content for children
under the age of 5 are prohibited.
- Children under the age of 10 may
overreact and become overly excited
because their vision is in development
(for example: trying to touch the screen or
trying to jump into it. Special monitoring
and extra attention is required for children
watching 3D content.
- Children have greater binocular disparity of
3D presentations than adults because the
distance between the eyes is shorter than
one of adults. Therefore they will perceive
more stereoscopic depth compared to
adults for the same 3D image.
yTeenagers
- Teenagers under the age of 19 may be
stimulated to light coming from 3D videos.
Advise them not to watch 3D videos for a
long time when they are tired.
yElderly
- The elderly may perceive less of a 3D
effect than the youth. Do not sit closer to
the TV than the recommended distance.
Cautions when using the 3D glasses
yOnly use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise,
you may not be able to view 3D videos
properly.
yDo not use 3D glasses instead of your
normal glasses, sunglasses, or protective
goggles.
yUsing modified 3D glasses may cause eye
strain or image distortion.
yDo not keep your 3D glasses in extremely
high or low temperatures. It will cause
deformation.
yThe 3D glasses are fragile and are easy to
scratched. Use a soft, clean piece of cloth
when wiping the lenses. Do not scratch
the lenses of the 3D glasses with sharp
objects or clean/wipe them with chemicals.
