NOTE

►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.

After installing the TV, you can adjust the TV set

manually to the left or right direction by 20

degrees to suit your viewing position.

■ Image shown may differ from your TV.

When installing the wall-mounted unit, use the

protection cover.

Insert the Protection

Cover into the TV until

clicking sound.

Protection Cover

(Fix a Guide to the Outsides.)

■ 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.

NOTE

► 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.

CAREFUL INSTALLATION

ADVICE

A-9

PREPARATION

■ The TV can be installed in various ways such as

on a wall, or on a desktop etc.

■ The TV is designed to be mounted horizontally.

EARTHING

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.

■ 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 mount-

ing bracket which supports VESA standard.

■ LG recommends that wall mounting be per-

formed by a qualified professional installer.

NOTE

►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 mount-

ed on should be of sufficient strength to sup-

port the weight of TV set; e.g. concrete, nat-

ural 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 installa-

tion:

- 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.

For adequate ventilation allow a clearance of 10

cm all around the TV.
