ASSEMBLING AND PREPARING

 CAUTION

 

Always use genuine LG components to ensure safety and product performance.

 

The product warranty will not cover damage or injury caused by the use of 

unauthorized components.

 

It is recommended that use the supplied components.

 

If you use generic cables not certified by LG, the screen may not display or there 

may be image noises.

 

Illustrations in this document represent typical procedures, so they may look 

different from the actual product.

 

Do not apply foreign substances (oils, lubricants, etc.) to the screw parts when 

assembling the product. (Doing so may damage the product.)

 

Applying excessive force when tightening screws may cause damage to the 

monitor. Damage caused in this way will not be covered by the product warranty.

 

Do not carry the monitor upside down by just holding the base. This may cause the 

monitor to fall off the stand and could result in personal injury.

 

When lifting or moving the monitor, do not touch the monitor screen. The force 

applied to the monitor screen may cause damage to it.

 

For wave pattern on appearance, unlike the general method of coating, it’s applied 

to added glittering material in raw material.With no peeled-off appearance, it has 

good durability. Please use it with confidence because there is no problem in using 

the product at all.
