PREPARATION
CAREFUL INSTALLATION ADVICE
AYou should purchase necessary components to fix the
TV safety and secure to the wall from the market.
APosition the TV close to the wall to avoid the pos-
sibility of it falling when pushed.
AThe instructions shown below are a safer way to set
up the TV, by fixing it to the wall, avoiding the possi-
bility of it falling forwards if pulled. This will prevent
the TV from falling forward and causing injury. This
will also prevent the TV from damage. Ensure that
children do not climb or hang from the TV.
NOTE!
G When moving the TV undo the cords first.
G Use a platform or cabinet strong and large
enough to support the size and weight of the TV.
G To use the TV safely make sure that the height of
the bracket on the wall and on the TV is the same.

2
Use the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts to fix the
product to the wall as shown in the picture. 
(If your TV has bolts in the eyebolts, loosen then bolts.)
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and
tighten them securely in the upper holes.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts on the
wall. Match the height of the bracket that is
mounted on the wall.
3Use a sturdy rope to tie the product for align-
ment. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes
horizontal between the wall and the product.
A The TV can be installed in various ways such as on
a wall, or on a desktop etc.
A The TV is designed to be mounted horizontally.
Power Supply
Circuit breaker
EARTHING
Ensure that you connect the earth wire to prevent
possible electric shock. If grounding methods are not
possible, have a qualified electrician install a separate
circuit breaker. 
Do not try to earth the TV by connecting it to tele-
phone wires, lightening rods or gas pipes.
WALL MOUNT: HORIZONTAL
INSTALLATION
AWe recommend the use of a LG Brand wall mounting
bracket when mounting the TV to a wall.
AWe recommend that you purchase a wall mounting
bracket which supports VESA standard.
ALG recommends that wall mounting be performed by a
qualified professional installer.

NOTE!
G Should Install wall mount on a solid wall perpendicular to
the floor.
G Should use a special wall mount, if you want to install it to
ceiling or slanted wall.
G The surface that wall mount is to be mounted on should
be of sufficient strength to support the weight of TV set;
e.g. concrete, natural rock, brick and hollow block.
G Installing screw type and length depends on the wall
mount used. Further information, refer to the instructions
included with the mount.
G LG is not liable for any accidents or damage to property or
TV due to incorrect installation:
-  Where a non-compliant VESA wall mount is used.
-  Incorrect fastening of screws to surface which may cause
TV to fall and cause personal injury.
-  Not following the recommended Installation method.
