ASSEMBLING AND PREPARING

Mounting on a wall

For proper ventilation, allow a clearance of 10

cm on each side and from the wall. Detailed

installation instructions are available from your

dealer, see the optional Tilt Wall Mounting Bracket

Installation and Setup Guide.

10 cm

If you intend to mount the Monitor to a wall, attach

Wall mounting interface (optional parts) to the back

of the set.

When you install the Monitor using the wall

mounting interface (optional parts), attach it

carefully so it will not fall.

1

Please, Use the screw and wall mount interface

in accordance with VESA Standards.

2

If you use screw longer than standard, the

monitor might be damaged internally.

3

If you use improper screw, the product might

be damaged and drop from mounted position.

In this case, LG Electronics is not responsible

for it.

4

VESA compatible.

5

Please use VESA standard as below.



785mm(31 inch) or greater

* Fastening screw: Diameter 6.0 mm x Pitch 1.0

mm x Length 10 mm



Disconnect the power cord first, and then

move or install the Monitor set. Otherwise

electric shock may occur.



If you install the Monitor set on a ceiling or

slanted wall, it may fall and result in severe

injury.



Use an authorized LG wall mount and

contact the local dealer or qualified

personnel.



Do not over tighten the screws as this may

cause damage to the Monitor set and void

your warranty.



Use the screws and wall mounts that meet

the VESA standard. Any damages or injuries

by misuse or using an improper accessory

are not covered by the warranty.



The wall mount kit includes an installation

manual and necessary parts.



The wall mount bracket is optional. You can

obtain additional accessories from your local

dealer.



The length of screws may differ depending

on the wall mount. Be sure to use the proper

length.



For more information, refer to the instructions

supplied with the wall mount.
