
TV can be placed in standby mode in order to reduce the power consumption. And TV should be
switched off using the power switch on the TV if it will not be watched for some time, as this will
reduce energy consumption.
The energy consumed during use can be significantly reduced if the level of brightness of the
picture is reduced, and this will reduce the overall running cost.
Image shown may differ from your TV.

You should purchase necessary components
to fix the TV safety and secure to the wall on
the market.
Position the TV close to the wall to avoid the
possibility of it falling when pushed.
The instructions shown below are a safer way
to set up the TV, by fixing it to the wall, avoid-
ing the possibility of it falling forwards if pulled.
This will prevent the TV from falling forward
and causing injury. This will also prevent the
TV from damage. Ensure that children do not
climb or hang from the TV.
3
Use the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts to fix the
product to the wall as shown in the picture.
(If your TV has bolts in the eyebolts, loosen
then bolts.)
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and
tighten them securely in the upper holes.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts on
the wall. Match the height of the bracket
that is mounted on the wall.
Use a sturdy rope to tie the product for align-
ment. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes
horizontal between the wall and the product.

The TV is equipped with a Kensington Security
System connector on the back panel. Connect
the Kensington Security System cable as shown
below.
For the detailed installation and use of the
Kensington Security System, refer to the user’s
guide provided with the Kensington Security
System.
For further information, contact http://www.kens-
ington.com, the internet homepage of the
Kensington
company. Kensington sells security systems for
expensive electronic equipment such as note-
book PCs and LCD projectors.

When moving the TV undo the cords first.
Use a platform or cabinet strong and large
enough to support the size and weight of the
TV.
To use the TV safely make sure that the
height of the bracket on the wall and on the
TV is the same.

The Kensington Security System is an
optional accessory.
If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may
be a small “flicker” when it is turned on.
This is normal, there is nothing wrong with
TV.
Some minute dot defects may be visible on
the screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or
blue spots. However, they have no adverse
effect on the monitor's performance.
Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding
your finger(s) against it for long periods of
time. Doing so may produce some temporary
distortion effects on the screen.

We recommend the use of a LG Brand wall
mounting bracket when mounting the TV to a
wall.
We recommend that you purchase a wall
mounting bracket which supports VESA stan-
dard.
LG recommends that wall mounting be per-
formed by a qualified professional installer.

Should Install wall mount on a solid wall per-
pendicular to the floor.
Should use a special wall mount, if you want to
install it to ceiling or slanted wall.
The surface that wall mount is to be mounted
on should be of sufficient strength to support
the weight of TV set; e.g. concrete, natural
rock, brick and hollow block.
Installing screw type and length depends on
the wall mount used. Further
information, refer
to the instructions included with the mount.
LG is not liable for any accidents or damage to
property or TV due to incorrect installation:
- Where a non-compliant VESA wall mount is
used.
- Incorrect fastening of screws to surface
which may cause TV to fall and cause per-
sonal injury.
- Not following the recommended Installation
method.
Image shown may differ from your TV.
Ensure that you connect the earth wire to prevent
possible electric shock. If grounding methods are
not possible, have a qualified electrician install a
separate circuit breaker.
Do not try to earth the TV by connecting it to tele-
phone wires, lightening rods or gas pipes.
