WARNING
!
GG
To prevent TV from falling over, the TV should be securely attached to the floor/wall per installation
instructions. Tipping, shaking, or rocking the machine may cause injury.

PREPARATION
CAREFUL INSTALLATION ADVICE
A
You should purchase necessary components to fix the TV safety and secure to the wall from a hardware supplier.
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 pre-
vent 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.
3
1
2
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 or wire to tie the product for alignment. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes horizon-
tal between the wall and the product.

KENSINGTON SECURITY SYSTEM
(This feature is not available for all models.)
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.kensington.com, the internet homepage of the Kensington
company. Kensington sells security systems for expensive electronic equipment such as notebook PCs and LCD
projectors.
NOTE
- The Kensington Security System is an optional accessory.
NOTES
a. If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a small “flicker”
when when it is turned on.
This is normal, there is nothing wrong with TV.
b. Some minute dot defects may be visible on the screen, appear-
ing as tiny red, green, or blue spots. However, they have no
adverse effect on the monitor's performance.
c. Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your finger(s)
against it for long periods of time.

Circuit breaker
EARTHING
Ensure that you connect the earth wire to prevent

phone wires, lightening rods or gas pipes.
WALL MOUNT: HORIZONTAL
INSTALLATION
A
We recommend the use of a LG Brand wall mounting
bracket when mounting the TV to a wall.
A
We recommend that you purchase a wall mounting
bracket which supports VESA standard.
A
LG recommends that wall mounting be performed by a
qualified professional installer.
NOTE
!
G Should Install wall mount on a solid wall perpendicular to
the floor.
G Should use a special wall mount, if you want to install it to
ceiling or slanted wall.
G 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.
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.
- Incorrect fastening of screws to surface which may cause
TV to fall and cause personal injury.
- Not following the recommended Installation method.
