Separate purchase
Separate purchase items can be changed or modified for quality improvement without any notification.
Contact your dealer for buying these items.
These devices only work with compatible LG Plasma TV.
Parts and buttons
TV can be placed in standby mode in order to reduce the power consumption. And TV should be
turned off 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.
NOTE
Do not step on the glass stand or subject it to any impact. It may break, causing possible injury
from fragments of glass, or the TV may fall.
Do not drag the TV. The floor or the product may be damaged.
In case of some model, the thin film on screen is a part of TV. So don't take it off.
CAUTION
The model name or design may be changed depending on the upgrade of product functions, manufacturer's
circumstances or policies.

Securing the TV to a wall
Image shown may differ from your TV.
This feature is not available for all models.
1
Insert and tighten the eye-bolts on the back of
the TV.
- If there are bolts inserted at the eye-bolts
position, remove the bolts first.
2
Mount the wall brackets with the bolts to the
wall.
Match the location of the wall bracket and the
eye-bolts on the rear of the TV.
3
Connect the eye-bolts and wall brackets tightly
with a sturdy rope.
Make sure to keep the rope horizontal with the
flat surface.
Use a platform or cabinet that is strong
and large enough to support the TV
securely.
NOTE
Make sure that children do not climb on
or hang on the TV.
CAUTION
Mounting on a wall
Attach a wall mount bracket at the rear of the TV
carefully and install the wall mount bracket on a
solid wall perpendicular to the floor. When you
attach the TV to other building materials, please
contact qualified personnel.
LG recommends that wall mounting be performed
by a qualified professional installer.

The wall mount kit includes an installation
manual and necessary parts.
The length of screws may differ
depending on the wall mount. Make sure
to use the proper length.
For more information, refer to the manual
supplied with the wall mount bracket.
NOTE
Disconnect the power first, and then
move or install the TV. Otherwise electric
shock may occur.
If you install the TV on a ceiling or slanted
wall, it may fall and result in severe injury.
Use an authorized LG wall mount bracket
and contact the local dealer or qualified
personnel.
Do not over tighten the screws as this
may cause damage to the TV and void
your warranty.
Use the screws and wall mount bracket
that meet the VESA standard. Any

To replace batteries, open the battery cover, replace batteries (1.5 V AAA) matching
and ends to the label inside the compartment, and close the battery cover. Be
sure to point the remote control toward the remote control sensor on the TV.
To remove the batteries, perform the installation actions in reverse.
Do not mix old and new batteries, as this may damage the remote control.
