• Be careful not to damage protruding buttons.
• Avoid touching the screen at all times.
• Do not place the product on the floor with its front facing down without padding.
• When attaching the stand, place the screen facing down on a cushioned table or flat surface.

Mounting on the Table

1. Lift and tilt the TV into its upright position on a table. Leave a minimum of 10 cm (4 inches) space from the wall for proper ventilation. [Diagram showing TV on table with 10cm clearance]
2. Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.

Precautions for Table Mounting:

• Do not apply foreign substances to screw parts during assembly.

Securing TV to the Wall

1. Insert and tighten eye-bolts or TV brackets and bolts on the back of the TV. Remove any existing bolts first.
2. Mount the wall brackets to the wall, matching the location of the wall bracket and the eye-bolts on the TV.
3. Connect the eye-bolts and wall brackets tightly with a sturdy rope or cable, keeping it parallel to the flat surface. [Diagram showing wall mounting bracket attachment]

Mounting to the Wall:

• Attach an optional wall mount bracket to the rear of the TV and install it on a solid wall perpendicular to the floor.
• For installation on other building materials, contact qualified personnel. LG recommends professional installation.
• Use a wall mount bracket that secures the device adequately to the wall, allowing space for external device connectivity. Connect all cables before installing fixed wall mounts.
• Remove the stand before wall mounting by reversing the stand attachment process.
