y 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.
 
y Keep the packing anti-moisture material or vinyl 
packing out of the reach of children. Anti-moisture 
material is harmful if swallowed. If swallowed 
by mistake, force the patient to vomit and visit 
the nearest hospital. Additionally, vinyl packing 
can cause suffocation. Keep it out of the reach of 
children.  
y CAUTION 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.

4IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 
y Grounding
(Except for devices which are not grounded.) 
Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire to 
prevent possible electric shock (i.e. a TV 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, lightening rods, or gas pipes.
Short-circuit
Breaker Power Supply 
 
y 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.
 
y 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.
 
y 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 so as 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.

5IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 
y 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 the TV. Those 
dots are deactivated pixels and do not affect the 
performance and reliability of the TV.
 
y 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 on the 
product. 
This generated sound does not affect the 
performance and reliability of the product.
 
y Take 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.
 
y 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 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
 
y If 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.
 
y 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.
 
y Avoid 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
 
y Viewing 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
 
y Some users may experience a seizure or other 
abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a 
flashing light or particular pattern from 3D content.
 
y Do 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.
 
y 3D Content is not recommended for those who 
suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly. 
Double images or discomfort in viewing may be 
experienced.
 
y If 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 frequent breaks 
than the average adult.
 
y If 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
 
y Do not watch 3D content when you feel fatigue 
from lack of sleep, overwork or intoxication.
 
y When 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
 
y Viewing 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
 
y Infants / 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.
 
y Teenagers
-  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.
 
y Elderly
-  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
 
y Only use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise, you may not 
be able to view 3D videos properly.
 
y Do not use 3D glasses instead of your normal 
glasses, sunglasses or protective goggles.
 
y Using modified 3D glasses may cause eye strain or 
image distortion.
 
y Do not keep your 3D glasses in extremely high or 
low temperatures. It will cause deformation.
 
y The 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.
