wire to prevent possible electric shock (i.e. a
TV with a three-prong grounded AC plug must
be connected to a three-prong grounded AC
outlet). If grounding methods are not possible,
have a qualified electrician install a separate
circuit breaker. Do not try to ground the unit
by connecting it to telephone wires, lightening
rods, or gas pipes.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Dot Defect
The Plasma or LCD panel is a high technology
product with resolution of two million to six
million pixels. In a very few cases, you could
see fine dots on the screen while you’re
viewing the TV. Those dots are deactivated
pixels and do not affect the performance and
reliability of the TV.
Generated Sound
“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that
occurs when watching or turning off the TV
is generated by plastic thermal contraction
due to temperature and humidity. This noise
is common for products where thermal
deformation is required.
Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A
low level noise is generated from a high-
speed switching circuit, which supplies a large
amount of current to operate a product. It
varies depending on the product.
This generated sound does not affect the
performance and reliability of the product.
Take care not to touch the ventilation
openings. When watching the TV for a long
period, the ventilation openings may become
hot. This does not affect the performance of
the product or cause defects in the product.
Preventing “Image burn” or “Burn-in” on your TV
screen
If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for
a long period of time, it will be imprinted and
become a permanent disfigurement on the
screen. This is “image burn” or “burn-in” and
not covered by the warranty.
If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a
long period of time, image burn may occur on
the letterboxed area of the screen.
Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV
screen for a long period of time (2 or more
hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for the Plasma
TV) to prevent image burn.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Viewing 3D Imaging (For 3D models)
WARNING
Viewing Environment
Viewing Time
- When watching 3D content, take 5 - 15 minute breaks every hour. Viewing 3D content for a long
period of time may cause headache, dizziness, fatigue or eye strain.
Those that have a photosensitive seizure or chronic illness
Some users may experience a seizure or other abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a
flashing light or particular pattern from 3D content.
Do not watch 3D videos if you feel nauseous, are pregnant and/ or have a chronic illness such as
epilepsy, cardiac disorder, or blood pressure disease, etc.
3D content is not recommended for those who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly.
Double images or discomfort in viewing may be experienced.
If you have strabismus (cross-eyed), amblyopia (weak eyesight) or astigmatism, you may have trouble
sensing depth and easily feel fatigue due to double images. It is advised to take frequent breaks.
If your eyesight varies between your right and left eye, you may experience eye strain.
Symptoms which require discontinuation or refraining from watching 3D contents
Do not watch 3D content when you feel fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork or intoxication.
When these symptoms are experienced, stop using/watching 3D content and get enough rest until
the symptom subsides.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Viewing Environment
Viewing Distance
- Maintain a distance of at least twice the screen diagonal length when watching 3D content. If you feel
discomfort in viewing 3D content, move further away from the TV.
Viewing Age
Infants / Children
- Usage/ Viewing 3D content for children under the age of 5 is prohibited.
- Children under the age of 10 may overreact and become overly excited because their vision is in
development (for example: trying to touch the screen or trying to jump into it. Special monitoring and
extra attention is required for children watching 3D content.)
- Children have greater binocular disparity of 3D presentations than adults because the distance
between the eyes is shorter than one of adults. Therefore they will perceive more stereoscopic depth
compared to adults for the same 3D image.
Teenagers
- Advise teenagers under the age of 19 not to watch 3D videos for a long time when they are tired.
Elderly
- The elderly may perceive less of a 3D effect than the youth. Do not sit closer to the TV than the
recommended distance.
Cautions when using the 3D glasses
Only use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise, you may not be able to view 3D videos properly.
Do not use 3D glasses instead of your normal glasses, sunglasses or protective goggles.
Using modified 3D glasses may cause eye strain or image distortion.
Do not keep your 3D glasses in extremely high or low temperatures. It will cause deformation.
The 3D glasses are fragile and are easy to scratch. Use a soft, clean piece of cloth when wiping the
lenses. Do not scratch the lenses of the 3D glasses with sharp objects or clean/wipe them with
chemicals.
