Power Button

Using the Kensington Security System (Optional):

The Kensington security system connector is located at the rear of the TV. For more information on installation and usage, refer to the manual provided with the Kensington security system or visit www.kensington.com. Connect the Kensington security system cable between the TV and a table.

NOTE:

The Kensington security system is optional. You can obtain additional accessories from your local dealer. (Image shown may differ from your TV.)

Mounting on a Table:

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

CAUTION:

Do not place the TV near or on sources of heat, as this may result in fire or other damage.

Mounting on a Wall

An optional wall mount can be used with your LG Television. Consult with your local dealer for a wall mount that supports the VESA standard used by your TV model. Carefully attach the wall mount bracket at the rear of the TV. Install the wall mount bracket on a solid wall perpendicular to the floor. If you are attaching the TV to other building materials, please contact qualified personnel to install the wall mount. Detailed instructions will be included with the wall mount. We recommend that you use an LG brand wall mount. The LG wall mount is easy to adjust or to connect the cables. When you do not use LG's wall mount bracket, use a wall mount bracket where the device is adequately secured to the wall with enough space to allow connectivity to external devices. If you are using a non-adjustable mount, attach the mount to the wall. Attach the cables to the TV first, then attach the TV to the mount.

Make sure to use screws and wall mounts that meet the VESA standard. Standard dimensions for the wall mount kits are described in the following table:

Model 50UH5500, 50UH5530 65UH5500
VESA (A x B) 300 x 200 400 x 200
Standard screw M6 M6

Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

  • Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
  • Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.
  • Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
  • Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
  • Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.

Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.

If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.
