STAND INSTALLATION
Image shown may differ from your TV
When assembling the desk type stand, check whether the bolt is fully tightened. (If not tightened fully, thep
roduct can tilt forward after the product installation.) If you tighten the bolt with excessive force, the boltcan
deviate from abrasion of the tightening part of the bolt.
Carefully place the TV screen side down on a
cushioned surface to protect the screen from
damage.
Assemble the TV as shown.
Fix the 4 bolts securely using the holes in the
back of the TV.

CAREFUL INSTALLATION ADVICE

A
You should purchase necessary components to fix the TV safety and secure to the wall from the market.
A
Position the TV close to the wall to avoid the possibility of it falling when pushed.
A
The instructions shown below are a safer way to set up the TV, by fixing it to the wall, avoiding 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.
NOTE
!
G
When moving the TV undo the cords first.
G
Use a platform or cabinet strong and large enough to support the size and weight of the TV.
G
To use the TV safely make sure that the height of the bracket on the wall and on the TV is the same.

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.
3
Use a sturdy rope to tie the product for alignment. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes hori-
zontal between the wall and the product.

should be of sufficient strength to support the
weight of TV set; e.g. concrete, natural rock, brick
and hollow block.
G Installing screw type and length depends on the wall
mount used. Further information, refer to the
instructions included with the mount.
G 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.
