• Before moving or lifting the TV, disconnect the power cord and all cables.
• When holding the TV, the screen should face away from you to avoid damage.
• Hold the side and bottom of the TV frame firmly. Make sure not to hold the transparent part, speaker, or speaker grill area.
• Use at least two people to move a large TV
• When transporting the TV by hand, hold the TV as shown in the following illustration.

• When transporting the TV, do not expose the TV to jolts or excessive vibration.
• When transporting the TV, keep the TV upright; never turn the TV on its side or tilt towards the left or right.
• When handling the TV, be careful not to damage the protruding buttons.

• Avoid touching the screen at all times, as this may result in damage to the screen.
• Do not place the product on the floor with its front facing down without padding. Failure to do so may result in damage to the screen.
• When attaching the stand to the TV set, place the screen facing down on a cushioned table or flat surface to protect the screen from scratches.

Mounting on the Table

1. Lift and tilt the TV into its upright position on a table. Leave a minimum of 10 cm (4 inches) space from the wall for proper ventilation.
2. Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.

• Do not apply foreign substances (oils, lubricants, etc.) to the screw parts when assembling the product. (Doing so may damage the product.)
• If you install the TV on a stand, you need to take actions to prevent the product from overturning. Otherwise, the product may fall over, which may cause injury.
• Do not use any unapproved items to ensure the safety and lifespan of the product.
• Any damages or injuries by using unapproved items are not covered by the warranty.
• Make sure that the screws are fastened tightly. (If they are not fastened securely enough, the TV may tilt forward after being installed.)
• When installing on a cabinet or a shelf using a stand, make sure its width is greater than that of the TV.
• Do not fasten the screws with excessive force otherwise they may strip and become loose.

Securing TV to the Wall

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.

• Use a platform or cabinet that is strong and large enough to support the TV securely.
• Brackets, bolts and ropes are optional. You can obtain additional accessories from your local dealer.

Stand

(Depending upon model)

Mounting to the 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.

• Remove the stand before installing the TV on a wall mount by performing the stand attachment in reverse.
• For more information of screws and wall mount bracket, refer to the Separate purchase.
• If you intend to mount the product to a wall, attach VESA standard mounting interface (optional parts) to the back of the product. When you install the set to use the wall mounting bracket (optional parts), fix it carefully so as not to drop.
• When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure not to install the TV by hanging the power and signal cables on the back of the TV.
• Do not install this product on a wall if it could be exposed to oil or oil mist. This may damage the product and cause it to fall.
• When installing the Full Contact Wall Mount, the TV may not be contacted firmly against the wall due to some wall conditions.

Wall Mounting Bracket

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

Securing TV to the Wall

(Except for OLW480B)

Please use the TV close to the wall after installation.

How to fix anchors and screws

(Except for OLW480B)

Please make sure that:

• Check that the material and thickness of the wall and finishing material comply with the installation manual. Before beginning the mounting process, you must be sure the wall is able to support the weight of the TV.
• Should use the enclosed anchors and screws on crack-free concrete walls.
• Never install the product on a plasterboard or wall made of paper or medium-density fiberboard (MDF). When it is necessary to install the product on such wall, anchor screws must be fastened to retaining walls (concrete) or wood Stud inside the finishing material.
• The wall mount should be attached to a stud. This usually will not be a problem, but depending on individual circumstances, there may be cases when the ability to mount into a stud is not possible. In this case, there are a variety of drywall anchors, such as toggle bolts, which may provide a solution. If using drywall anchors, please be sure the anchors and the wall have the ability to support the weight of your TV. Please note that the supplied anchors may not be the correct ones for your individual situation, so you should check with a local professional.
• Other unspecified walls must be capable of supporting pullout loads of over 70 kgf (154 lbf) (686 N) and shear loads of over 100 kgf (220 lbf) (980 N) per fastener.
• Use an Ø 8 mm drill bit for concrete and a hammer (impact) drill or Ø 4 mm drill bit for wood stud to drill holes.

For installation on concrete wall

1. Drill holes in anchor locations with a drill bit of Ø 8 mm to a depth of 80 mm (3.15 inches) to 100 mm (3.94 inches).

2. Clean the drilled holes.

3. Insert the enclosed anchors for fixing the wall mount into the holes. (Use a hammer when inserting anchors.)

4. Push the wall mount support closely toward the wall to match the hole locations.

5. Tighten screws for fixing the wall mount to the holes. At this time, tighten the screws to a torque of between 45 kgf/cm (39.06 lbf/in) to 60 kgf/cm (52.08 lbf/in).

For installation on wood stud

Use the Ø 4 mm drill bit for wood to drill holes with the depth of 76 mm (2.9 Inches). (Clean the drilled hole.)

Without using the wall mounting anchor, fasten the wall mounting screw directly to the wood stud.

After Installation

• When connecting additional cables from the sides, we recommend holding the centre of the TV horizontally or vertically and pulling the product to make sure there is sufficient distance from the wall before connecting.
• When connecting additional cables from the bottom, we recommend releasing the TV from the wall mount before connecting.
• Use cable management systems to arrange the cables at the bottom of the TV as shown below. Cable managements are not provided with the product, so purchase them separately.
• After installing the product, be sure to use it adhered to the wall. Using the product while it is not adhered to the wall may damage or shake the product.
