SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH

y

When moving or unpacking the product, work in pairs because the product is heavy.

ENG

Otherwise, this may result in injury.

y

Contact the service centre once a year to clean the internal parts of the product.

Accumulated dust can cause mechanical failure.

y

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the

apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is

damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus

has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

y

If the product feels cold to the touch, there may be a small “flicker” when it is turned on.

This is normal, there is nothing wrong with product.

y

The panel is a high technology display product with resolution of two million to six million

pixels. You may see tiny black dots and/or brightly coloured dots (red, blue or green) at a

size of 1 ppm on the panel. This does not indicate a malfunction and does not affect the

performance and reliability of the product.

This phenomenon also occurs in third-party products and is not subject to exchange or

refund.

y

You may find different brightness and color of the panel depending on your viewing

position(left/right/top/down).

This phenomenon occurs due to the characteristic of the panel. It is not related with the

product performance, and it is not malfunction.

y

Displaying a still image (e.g., broadcasting channel logo, on-screen menu, scene from a video game) for a

prolonged time may cause damage to the screen, resulting in retention of the image, which is known as image

sticking. The warranty does not cover the product for image sticking.

Avoid displaying a fixed image on your television’s screen for a prolonged period (2 or more hours for LCD, 1

or more hours for Plasma).

Also, if you watch the TV at a ratio of 4:3 for a long time, image sticking may occur on the borders of the panel.

This phenomenon also occurs in third-party products and is not subject to exchange or refund.

y

Generated Sound

“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs when watching or turning off the TV is generated by plastic

thermal contraction due to tempera-ture 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.

WARNING

Viewing Environment

y

Viewing Time

- When watching 3D contents, take 5 - 15 minute breaks every hour. Viewing 3D contents for a long period of

-

time may cause headache, dizziness, fatigue or eye strain.

Those that have a photosensitive seizure or chronic illness

y

Some users may experience a seizure or other abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a flashing light or

particular pattern from 3D contents.

y

Do not watch 3D videos if you feel nausea, are pregnant and/ or have a chronic illness such as epilepsy, cardiac

disorder, or blood pressure disease, etc.

y

3D Contents are not recommended to those who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly. Double images

or discomfort in viewing may be experienced.

y

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 than the average adult.

y

If your eyesight varies between your right and left eye, revise your eyesight prior to watching 3D contents.

Symptoms which require discontinuation or refraining from watching 3D contents

y

Do not watch 3D contents when you feel fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork or drinking.

y

When these symptoms are experienced, stop using/watching 3D contents and get enough rest until the symptom

CAUTION

Viewing Environment

y

Viewing Distance

- Maintain a distance of at least twice the screen diagonal length when watching 3D contents. If you feel

discomfort in viewing 3D contents, move further away from the TV.

Viewing Age

y

Infants/Children

- Usage/ Viewing 3D contents for children under the age of 6 are 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 contents.

- 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.

y

Teenagers

- Teenagers under the age of 19 may react with sensitivity due to stimulation from light in 3D contents. Advise

-

them to refrain from watching 3D contens for a long time when they are tired.

y

Elderly

- The elderly may perceive less 3D effect compared to the youth. Do not sit closer to the TV than the

-

recommended distance.

Cautions when using the 3D glasses

y

Make sure to use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise, you may not be able to view 3D videos properly.

y

Do not use 3D glasses instead of your normal glasses, sunglasses or protective goggles.

y

Using modified 3D glasses may cause eye strain or image distortion.

y

Do not keep your 3D glasses in extremely high or low temperatures. It will cause deformation.

y

The 3D glasses are fragile and are easily scratched. Always 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.
