IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not expose to dripping or splashing
y
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).
Grounding
y
(Except for devices which are not
grounded.)
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.
Short-circuit
As long as this unit is connected to the AC
y
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
y
any way without written authorization from
LG Electronics. Unauthorized modification
could void the user's authority to operate
this product.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
y
(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.

places.
If you smell smoke or other odors coming
y
from the TV, unplug the power cord and
contact an authorized service center.
Keep the product away from direct sunlight.
y
Never touch this apparatus or antenna
y
during a thunder or lightning storm.
When mounting a TV on the wall, make
y
sure not to install the TV by hanging the
power and signal cables on the back of the
TV.
