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 manual illustrations (upright).

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.

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 product life span. Any damage or injuries caused 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. Do not fasten the screws with excessive force otherwise they may strip and become loose.

An optional wall mount can be used with your LG 50UN8000PUB. 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.

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.

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

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. Make sure to keep the rope horizontal with the flat surface.

Use a platform or cabinet that is strong and large enough to support the TV securely.

Brackets, bolts and ropes are not provided. You can obtain additional accessories from your local dealer.

Connect an antenna, cable, or cable box to watch TV. Connect the cable to the RF port on the TV. Make sure not to bend the copper wire of the RF cable.
