LG 28LH4530 (01) PDF MANUAL

Carefully remove the TV from its packaging. Lay the TV face down on a soft, cushioned surface, like a blanket or cloth, to protect the screen from scratches or damage during stand attachment.

With the TV lying face down on a soft surface, align the stand with the designated slots on the TV’s bottom. Insert the stand firmly and secure it with the screws provided. Refer to the visual guide for the correct orientation and screw placement.

The TV has various input ports for external devices. Connect your antenna or cable to the ANTENNA/CABLE IN port. For high-definition devices like Blu-ray players or game consoles, use the HDMI IN port. For power, connect the DC-IN adapter to the TV and then to a wall outlet.

Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control. Insert two 1.5 V AAA batteries, ensuring the + and – ends match the labels inside the compartment. Close the battery cover firmly.

When cleaning, unplug the power cord and wipe gently with a soft cloth to prevent scratching. Do not spray water or other liquids directly on the TV as electric shock may occur. Do not clean with chemicals such as alcohol, thinners, or benzene.

Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not install in a confined space such as a bookcase. Do not cover the product with cloth or other materials while plugged in. Do not install in excessively dusty places.

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

Do not press strongly upon the panel with a hand or a sharp object such as a nail, pencil, or pen, or make a scratch on it.

Do not connect too many devices to the same AC power outlet as this could result in fire or electric shock. Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your device, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the device, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer. Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the device. Do not move the TV with the power cord plugged in. Do not use a damaged or loose power cord. Be sure do grasp the plug when unplugging the power cord. Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the TV.

Do not stick metal objects or any other conductive material into the power cord. Do not touch the end of the power cord while it is plugged in.

Keep the packing anti-moisture material or vinyl packing out of the reach of children. Anti-moisture material is harmful if swallowed. If swallowed, induce vomiting and go to the nearest hospital. Additionally, vinyl packing can cause suffocation. Keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not expose to dripping or splashing and do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, cups, etc. on or over the apparatus (e.g., on shelves above the unit).

Ensure that you connect the earth ground 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, lightning rods, or gas pipes.

Make sure the product is turned off, unplugged, and all cables have been removed. It may take 2 or more people to carry larger TVs. Do not press or put stress on the front panel of the TV.

If an outdoor antenna is installed, ensure it is not located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits, to prevent injury. Be sure the antenna system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Handle the adapter carefully to avoid dropping or striking it. An impact could damage the adapter. Use only an authorized AC adapter and power cord approved by LG Electronics. Never disassemble the AC adapter or power cord.

Keep the product away from direct sunlight. Never touch this apparatus or antenna during a lightning storm.

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.

The power plug is the disconnecting device. In case of an emergency, the power plug must remain readily accessible.

Make sure the power cord is connected securely to the power plug on the TV.

Store the accessories (battery, etc.) in a safe location out of the reach of children. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Do not short circuit, disassemble, or allow the batteries to overheat.

Do not use high voltage electrical equipment near the TV (e.g., a bug zapper). This may result in product malfunction.

The 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.

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 upon 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.

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.

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.

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

For an optimal connection, HDMI cables and USB devices should have bezels less than 10 mm (0.3 inches) thick and 18 mm (0.7 inches) width. Use an extension cable that supports USB 2.0 if the USB cable or USB flash drive does not fit into your TV’s USB port.

Use a certified cable with the HDMI logo attached. If you do not use a certified HDMI cable, the screen may not display or a connection error may occur.

Recommended HDMI cable types:

High-Speed HDMI®/TM cable

High-Speed HDMI ®/TM cable with Ethernet

Do not use any unapproved items to ensure the safety and product’s lifespan.

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.

It is recommended to move the TV in the box or packing material that the TV originally came in.

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 top and bottom of the TV frame firmly. Make sure not to hold the transparent part, speaker, or speaker grille area.

Use at least two people to move a large TV.

When transporting the TV by hand, hold the TV as shown in the illustration.

When transporting the TV, do not expose the TV to jolts or excessive vibration.

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.

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

You can connect various external devices to the TV. Supported external devices are: HD receivers, DVD players, VCRs, audio systems, USB storage devices, PC, gaming devices, and other external devices.

Connect an antenna, cable, or cable box to watch TV. The illustrations may differ from the actual items and an RF cable is optional.

Make sure not to bend the copper wire of the RF cable.

Complete all connections between devices, and then connect the power cord to the power outlet to prevent damage to your TV.

Use a signal splitter to use 2 TVs or more.

DTV Audio Supported Codec: MPEG, Dolby Digital.

Connect your TV to external devices. For the best picture and audio quality, connect the external device and the TV with the HDMI cable. Depending upon the model, a cable may not be provided.

To install batteries, open the battery cover, replace batteries (1.5 V AAA) matching the + and – ends to the label inside the compartment, and close the battery cover. Failure to match the correct polarities of the battery may cause the battery to burst or leak, resulting in fire, personal injury, or ambient pollution. To remove the batteries, perform the installation actions in reverse. This remote uses infrared light. When in use, it should be pointed in the direction of the TV’s remote sensor.
