ASSEMBLING AND PREPARING
Disconnect the power cord first, and then
move or install the Monitor set. Otherwise
electric shock may occur.
If you install the Monitor set on a ceiling or
slanted wall, it may fall and result in severe
injury.
Use only an authorized LG wall mount
and contact the local dealer or qualified
personnel.
Do not over tighten the screws as this may
cause damage to the Monitor set and void
your warranty.
Use only screws and wall mounts that
meet the VESA standard. Any damages
or injuries by misuse or using an improper
accessory are not covered by the warranty.
Use the screws that are listed on the VESA
standard screw specifications.
The wall mount kit will include an installation
manual and necessary parts.
The wall mount bracket is optional. You can
obtain additional accessories from your local
dealer.
