Separate purchase items can be changed or modified for quality improveme\
nt without any notification.
Contact your dealer for buying these items.
This device only works with compatible LG Plasma TV, LED LCD TV or LCD TV.
Parts and buttons
 yTV can be placed in standby mode in order to reduce the power consumptio\
n. And TV should be 
turned off if it will not be watched for some time, as this will reduce energy co\
nsumption.
 yThe energy consumed during use can be significantly reduced if the level\
 of brightness of the 
picture is reduced, and this will reduce the overall running cost.
NOTE
 yDo not step on the glass stand or subject it to any impact. It may break\
, causing possible injury 
from fragments of glass, or the TV may fall.
 yDo not drag the TV. The floor or the product may be damaged.
