Warning! Safety Instructions

CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The symbol ⚡ indicates the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be sufficient to cause electric shock.

The symbol ℹ indicates important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

• Fire Prevention: Keep candles or other items with open flames away from this product at all times.
• Environmental Precautions: Do not place the TV and/or remote control in the following environments:
  • Areas exposed to direct sunlight.
  • Areas with high humidity (e.g., bathrooms).
  • Near heat sources like stoves or other heat-producing devices.
  • Near kitchen counters or humidifiers where steam or oil may be present.
  • Areas exposed to rain or wind.
  • Avoid exposure to dripping or splashing. Do not place liquid-filled objects (e.g., vases) on or over the apparatus.
  • Keep away from flammable objects (e.g., gasoline, candles) or direct air conditioning vents.
  • Avoid excessively dusty places. Failure to comply may result in fire, electric shock, combustion, explosion, malfunction, or product deformation.
• Ventilation: Install your TV in a well-ventilated area. Do not install in confined spaces like bookcases. Do not place the product on carpets or cushions. Do not cover the unit with cloth or other materials while plugged in. Be careful not to touch ventilation openings, as they may become hot during extended use.

Safety Precautions

• Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse (twisting, kinking, pinching, walking on). Pay attention to plugs, outlets, and cord exit points.
• Do not move the TV while the power cord is plugged in.
• Do not use a damaged or loose power cord.
• Always grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplugging.
• Do not connect too many devices to a single AC outlet to prevent fire or electric shock.
• Disconnecting from Main Power: The power plug is the disconnecting device; ensure it remains accessible in emergencies.
• Keep children away from the TV to prevent climbing or falling accidents.
• Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If using an outdoor antenna, ensure it is not near overhead power lines. Never touch the apparatus or antenna during a lightning storm.
• Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the TV and wall socket.
• Do not insert metallic or flammable objects into the product. If a foreign object enters, unplug and contact customer service.
• Do not touch the end of the power cord while it is plugged in.
• Immediate Action: If the product is damaged, if liquid enters the product, if you smell smoke or odors, or during lightning storms or long periods of non-use, unplug immediately and contact customer service. The TV draws AC power even when turned off via remote or button if not unplugged.
• Do not use high-voltage electrical equipment (e.g., bug zappers) near the TV, as it may cause malfunction.
• Do not attempt unauthorized modifications. Contact customer service for repairs.
• Use only LG-approved attachments/accessories to prevent fire, shock, malfunction, or damage.
• Never disassemble the AC adapter or power cord.
• Handle the adapter carefully to avoid dropping or impact.

• Batteries: Store batteries out of reach of children. Do not short circuit, disassemble, or expose batteries to excessive heat or fire. Risk of fire or explosion if replaced with an incorrect battery type.
• Moving: Turn off and unplug the TV before moving. Ensure all cables are removed. Two people may be needed for larger TVs. Do not press or stress the front panel.
• Keep packing materials out of reach of children.
• Avoid impact shocks, dropping objects, or pressing the screen with sharp objects, as this can cause damage.
• Cleaning: Unplug the power cord. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not spray liquids directly on the screen. Avoid harsh chemicals, cleaners, or abrasives that can damage the panel.

Installation

Lifting and Moving the TV

Follow these guidelines to prevent scratches or damage during handling and transportation:

• Transport the TV in its original packaging if possible.
• Disconnect the power cord and all cables before moving.
• Hold the TV with the screen facing away from you.
• Grip the top and bottom of the TV frame firmly, avoiding the transparent part, speaker, or speaker grill.
• At least two people are recommended for transporting large TVs.
• Avoid jolts or excessive vibration during transport.
• Keep the TV upright; do not tilt it on its side.
• Do not apply excessive pressure to the frame, as it may damage the screen.
• Handle carefully to avoid damaging protruding buttons.
• Avoid touching the screen at all times.
• When attaching the stand, place the screen face down on a cushioned or flat surface.

Mounting on the Table

1. Lift and tilt the TV into an upright position on a table.
2. Leave at least 10 cm (minimum) space from the wall for ventilation.
3. Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.

• Do not apply foreign substances (oils, lubricants) to screw parts during assembly.
• Use only approved items for safety and product lifespan. Unapproved items are not covered by warranty.
• If installing on a stand, take precautions to prevent overturning, which could cause injury.
• Ensure all provided screws are attached and tightened securely when assembling the stand to prevent tilting or tipping.

Securing TV to the Wall

1. Insert and tighten eye-bolts or TV brackets and bolts on the back of the TV. Remove any pre-inserted bolts first.
2. Mount wall brackets to the wall, aligning with the eye-bolt positions on the TV.
3. Securely connect the eye-bolts and wall brackets with a sturdy rope, keeping it horizontal.

• Use a strong and stable platform or cabinet to support the TV.
• Wall mounting brackets, bolts, and ropes are not provided; obtain them from your local dealer.

Mounting to the Wall (General)

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, consult qualified personnel. LG recommends professional installation. Use a bracket that securely fastens the device to the wall, allowing space for cable connectivity. Connect all cables before installing fixed wall mounts.

• Remove the TV stand before wall mounting by reversing the stand attachment process.
• Refer to the manual included with your separately purchased wall mount for details on screws and brackets.
• Attach the VESA standard mounting interface (optional) to the back of the product. Ensure it is securely fixed to prevent dropping.
• Do not hang power or signal cables on the back of the TV when wall mounting.
• Do not install on walls exposed to oil or oil mist, as this can damage the product and cause it to fall.
• Cover stand holes with tape to prevent dust and insects from entering (depending on model).

Antenna and Cable Connections

• Connect the TV to a wall antenna socket using an RF cable (75 Ω).
• Use a signal splitter if connecting more than two TVs.
• If image quality is poor, install a signal amplifier.
• Realign the antenna if image quality is poor with an antenna connection.
• Antenna cables and converters are not supplied.
• Ultra HD broadcasting may not be supported in all locations or directly by the TV (depending on model).

Satellite Dish Connection

Connect the TV to a satellite dish via a satellite socket using a satellite RF cable (75 Ω) (depending on model).
