KENSINGTON SECURITY SYSTEM

■

This feature is not available for all models.

■

Image shown may differ from your TV.

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.kensing-

ton.com, the internet homepage of the Kensington

company. Kensington sells security systems for expensive electron-

ic 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 it is turned on.

This is normal, there is nothing wrong with TV.

b. 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 moni-

tor's performance.

c. 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.

CAREFUL INSTALLATION ADVICE

A

You should purchase necessary components to fix the TV

safety and secure to the wall on 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.

3

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 tight-

en 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 horizontal

between the wall and the product.

The TV can be installed in various ways such as on

a wall, or on a desktop etc.

A

The TV is designed to be mounted horizontally.

Power Supply

Circuit breaker

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.

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.

4 inches

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.

G

Avoid keeping a fixed image on the set’s screen

for prolonged periods of time. The fixed image

may become permanently imprinted on the

screen; use a screen saver when possible.

G

There may be interference relating to resolution,

vertical pattern, contrast or brightness in PC

mode. Change the PC mode to another resolu-

tion or change the refresh rate to another rate or

adjust the brightness and contrast on the menu

until the picture is clear. If the refresh rate of the

PC graphic card can not be changed, change the

PC graphic card or consult the manufacturer of

the PC graphic card.

G

The synchronization input waveform for

Horizontal and Vertical frequencies are separate.

G

We recommend using 1920x1080, 60Hz for the

PC mode, this should provide the best picture

quality.

G

Connect the signal cable from the monitor out-

put port of the PC to the RGB (PC) port of the

TV or the signal cable from the HDMI output

port of the PC to the HDMI IN (or HDMI/DVI

IN) port on the TV.

G

Connect the audio cable from the PC to the

Audio input on the TV. (Audio cables are not

included with the TV).

G

If using a sound card, adjust PC sound as

required.

G

If the graphic card on the PC does not output

analogue and digital RGB simultaneously, connect

only one of either RGB or HDMI IN (or

HDMI/DVI IN) to display the PC output on the

TV.

G

If the graphic card on the PC does output analogue

and digital RGB simultaneously, set the TV to either

RGB or HDMI; (the other mode is set to Plug and

Play automatically by the TV.)

G

DOS mode may not work depending on the video

card if you use an HDMI to DVI cable.

G

If you use too long an RGB-PC cable that is too

long, there may be interference on the screen.

We recommend using under 5m of cable. This

provides the best picture quality.
