							4IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
•Only use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
•Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
•Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
•Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as power-
supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
•Never touch this apparatus or antenna during a
thunder or lightning storm.
•When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure not
to install the TV by hanging the power and signal
cables on the back of the TV.
•Do not allow an impact shock or any objects to
fall into the product, and do not drop anything
onto the screen.
•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.
•Warning- To reduce the risk of fire or electrical
shock, do not expose this product to rain,
moisture or other liquids. Do not touch the TV
with wet hands. Do not install this product near
flammable objects such as gasoline or candles,
or expose the TV to direct air conditioning.
•Do not expose to dripping or splashing and do
not place objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, cups, etc. on or over the apparatus (e.g.
on shelves above the unit).
ENGLISH         
						

							IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS5
•Grounding
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.
•DISCONNECTING DEVICE FROM THE MAIN
POWER
The power outlet must remain readily accessed
in the event the device needs to be unplugged.
•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.
•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.
•ANTENNAS 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.Antenna grounding according to the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
•Cleaning

affect the performance and reliability of the TV.
ENGLISH    
						

							6IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•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.
•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.
•Viewing 3D Imaging (For 3D TV)
-If you watch the 3D imaging too closely or for a
long period of time, it may harm your eyesight.
-Watching the TV or playing video games that
incorporate 3D imaging with the 3D glasses for
a long period of time can cause drowsiness,
headaches or fatigue to you and/or your eyes.
If you have a headache, or otherwise feel
fatigued or drowsy, stop watching the TV and
have a rest.
-Pregnant woman, seniors, persons with heart
problems or persons who experience frequent
drowsiness should refrain from watching 3D
TV.
-Some 3D imaging may cause you to duck or
dodge the image displayed in the video.

reduced with the following actions.
-Take frequent breaks from watching 3D TV.
-For those who have vision that is different in
each eye, they should watch the TV after
taking vision correction measures.
-Watch the TV so that your eyes are on the
same level as the 3D screen and refrain from
sitting too closely to the TV.
-Do not watch the 3D imaging when tired or
sick, and avoid watching the 3D imaging for a
long period of time.
-Do not wear the 3D glasses for any other
purpose than viewing 3D imaging on a 3D TV.
-Some viewers may feel disoriented after
watching 3D TV. Therefore, after you watch 3D
