Basic Functions

Power On / Off (Press)

Mounting on a Table

1. Lift and tilt the TV into its upright position on a table.

- Leave a 10 cm (4 inches) (minimum) space from the wall for proper ventilation.

2. Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.

Securing the TV to a Wall (optional)

(Depending upon model)

1. Insert and tighten the eye-bolts or TV brackets and bolts on the back of the TV.

- If there are bolts inserted at the eye-bolts position, remove the bolts first.

2. Mount the wall brackets with the bolts to the wall. Match the location of the wall bracket and the eye-bolts on the rear of the TV.

3. Connect the eye-bolts and wall brackets tightly with a sturdy rope or cable. Make sure to keep the rope parallel to the flat surface.

Mounting on a Wall

An optional wall mount can be used with your LG Television. Consult with your local dealer for a wall mount that supports the VESA standard used by your TV model. Carefully attach the wall mount bracket at the rear of the TV. Install the wall mount bracket on a solid wall perpendicular to the floor. If you are attaching the TV to other building materials, please contact qualified personnel to install the wall mount. Detailed instructions will be included with the wall mount. We recommend that you use an LG brand wall mount. The LG wall mount is easy to adjust or to connect the cables. When you do not use LG’s wall mount bracket, use a wall mount bracket where the device is adequately secured to the wall with enough space to allow connectivity to external devices. If you are using a non-adjustable mount, attach the mount to the wall. Attach the cables to the TV first, then attach the TV to the mount.

Make sure to use screws and wall mounts that meet the VESA standard. Standard dimensions for the wall mount kits are described in the following table.

Warning

• Remove the stand before installing the TV on a wall mount by performing the stand attachment in reverse.

• Screw length from outer surface of back cover should be under 8 mm (0.31 inches). (For 28LJ400B, 28LJ430B, 28MT42DF)

Troubleshooting

• Cannot control the TV with the remote control.

- Check if anything such as tape has been placed over the receiver.

- Check if there is any obstacle between the product and the remote control.

- Replace the batteries with new fresh ones.

• No image display and no sound is produced.

- Check if the product is turned on.

- Check if the power cord is connected to a wall outlet.

- Check if there is a problem in the wall outlet by connecting other products.

• The TV turns off suddenly.

- Check the power control settings. The power supply may be interrupted.

- Check if the Sleep Timer / Timer Power Off feature is activated in the Timers settings.

- If there is no signal while the TV is on, the TV will turn off automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity.

• Abnormal Display

- 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. 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 TV’s performance. 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.

- This panel is an advanced product that contains millions of 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.

- Displaying a still image for a prolonged period of time may cause an image sticking. Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for a extended length of time.

• 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 highspeed switching circuit, which supplies a large amount of current to operate a product. It varies depending upon the product. This generated sound does not affect the performance and reliability of the product.
