CAREFUL INSTALLATION 
ADVICE 
 
■ You should purchase necessary components 
to fix the TV safety and secure to the wall on 
the market.
 
■    Position the TV close to the wall to avoid the 
possibility of it falling when pushed.
 
■    The instructions shown below are a safer way 
to set up the TV, by fixing it to the wall, avoid-
ing the possibility 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.
3
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.
Use 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.

NOTE
 
► When moving the TV undo the cords first.
 
► Use a platform or cabinet strong and large 
enough to support the size and weight of the TV.
 
► To use the TV safely make sure that the height of 
the bracket on the wall and on the TV is the 
same.

PREPARATION
PREPARATION
 
■ The TV can be installed in various ways such as 
on a wall, or on a desktop etc.
 
■ The TV is designed to be mounted horizontally.
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
 
■ We recommend the use of a LG Brand wall 
mounting bracket when mounting the TV to a wall.
 
■ We recommend that you purchase a wall mount-
ing bracket which supports VESA standard.
 
■ LG recommends that wall mounting be per-
formed by a qualified professional installer.
DESKTOP PEDESTAL 
INSTALLATION
NOTE
 
► Should Install wall mount on a solid wall per-
pendicular to the floor.
 
► Should use a special wall mount, if you want 
to install it to ceiling or slanted wall.
 
► The surface that wall mount is to be mount-
ed on should be of sufficient strength to sup-
port the weight of TV set; e.g. concrete, nat-
ural rock, brick and hollow block.
 
► Installing screw type and length depends on 
the wall mount used. Further information, 
refer to the instructions included with the 
mount.
 
► LG is not liable for any accidents or damage 
to property or TV due to incorrect installa-
tion:
 - Where a non-compliant VESA wall mount  is used.
 - Incorrect fastening of screws to surface  which may cause TV to fall and cause per-
sonal injury.
 - Not following the recommended Installation  method.
For adequate ventilation allow a clearance of 10 
cm all around the TV.
