IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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, lightning rods, or gas pipes.
Short-circuit
As long as this unit is connected to the AC wall outlet, it
y
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
y
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.

Cleaning
y
When cleaning, unplug the power cord and wipe gently
with a soft cloth to prevent scratching. Do not spray
water or other liquids directly on the TV as electric shock
may occur. Do not clean with chemicals such as alcohol,
thinners or benzine.
Moving
y
Make sure the product is turned off, unplugged and all
cables have been removed. It may take 2 or more people
to carry larger TVs. Do not press or put stress on the front
panel of the TV.
Ventilation
y
Install your TV where there is proper ventilation. Do not
install in a confined space such as a bookcase. Do not
cover the product with cloth or other materials while
plugged. Do not install in excessively dusty places.
If you smell smoke or other odors coming from the TV,
y
unplug the power cord and contact an authorized service
center.
Keep the product away from direct sunlight.
y
Never touch this apparatus or antenna during a thunder or
y
lightning storm.
When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure not to install
y
the TV by hanging the power and signal cables on the back
of the TV.
y Do not allow an impact shock or any objects to fall into the
product, and do not drop anything onto the screen.
DISCONNECTING DEVICE FROM THE MAIN POWER
y
Mains plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must
remain readily operable.
Store the accessories (battery, etc.) in a safe location out of
y
the reach of children.
This apparatus use batteries. In your community there
y
might be regulations that require you to dispose of these
batteries properly due to environmental considerations.
Please contact your local authorities for disposal or
recycling information.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
y
Do not short circuit, disassemble or allow the batteries to
y
overheat.
Dot Defect
y
The Plasma or LCD panel is a high technology product with
resolution of two million to six million pixels. In a very few
cases, you could see fine dots on the screen while you're
viewing the TV. Those dots are deactivated pixels and do
not affect the performance and reliability of the TV.
