Overview

This document is an owner's manual for an LG LED TV, specifically models 24TN520S and 28TN525S. It provides essential information regarding the safe operation, installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the device. The manual emphasizes that an LG LED TV uses an LCD screen with LED backlights.

The manual begins with a section on Safety Precautions, which are crucial for preventing injury, accidents, or damage to the product. It distinguishes between "WARNING" messages, indicating potential serious injury or death if ignored, and "CAUTION" messages, indicating potential minor injury or product damage.

Key precautions for installing the product include:

Keeping the TV away from heat sources to prevent electrical shock, fire, malfunction, or deformation.
Ensuring packing materials like anti-moisture material and vinyl are kept out of reach of children, as they can be harmful if swallowed or cause suffocation.
Avoiding placing heavy objects on the product or sitting on it, which could cause injury if the product collapses.
Not leaving power or signal cables unattended in pathways to prevent tripping, electrical shock, fire, or product breakdown.
Installing the product in a neat and dry place to avoid dust or moisture causing electrical shock, fire, or damage.
Unplugging the power cord and contacting a service center if smoke, strange odors, or sounds are detected.
Turning off the product and unplugging the power cord if it is dropped or the case is broken.
Avoiding dropping objects on or impacting the screen, which can cause injury or damage.
Being careful not to drop the product when connecting external devices.
Maintaining a distance of four times the screen's diagonal measurement from game devices to prevent the product from falling due to short cables.
Avoiding leaving fixed images on the screen for long periods to prevent screen damage and image burn-in. Using a screen saver or residual image prevention function is recommended.
Not installing the product on a wall where it could be exposed to oil or oil mist, as this can cause damage and lead to the product falling.
Ensuring the product's ventilation hole is not blocked and maintaining at least 100 mm of space from the wall to prevent deformation or fire from overheating.
Not blocking ventilation holes with tablecloths or curtains.
Installing the product on a flat and stable surface to prevent it from dropping.
Installing the product where no electromagnetic interference (EMI) occurs.
Keeping the product away from direct sunlight to prevent damage.
Consulting LG or a qualified installer if the product is installed in conditions that do not meet recommendations (e.g., dusty, oily, chemical-laden, high/low temperature, high humidity, or prolonged use), as this may invalidate the warranty.
Avoiding installation in poorly ventilated areas (like bookshelves or closets) or on cushions/carpets.
Not installing near heating objects or lighting equipment.

Precautions for the AC adapter and electrical power include:

Disconnecting the power cord immediately and contacting service if water or foreign substances enter the product.
Not touching the power plug or AC adapter with wet hands.
Ensuring the power cord is fully inserted into the AC adapter.
Using only LG-provided or approved power cords and AC adapters.
Always pulling the plug, not the cord, when unplugging.
Avoiding stepping on or placing heavy objects on the power cord or AC adapter.
Never disassembling, repairing, or modifying the power cord or AC adapter.
Connecting the power cable to a grounded current.
Using only the rated voltage.
Avoiding touching the power cord and signal cable during thunder and lightning.
Not connecting multiple extension cords, appliances, or heaters to a single outlet.
Drying wet or dusty power plugs.
Unplugging the power cable if the product will not be used for a long time.
Fixing the power cable completely.
Not inserting conductors into the power cable ends.
Ensuring the AC cord is easily accessible as it is the disconnecting device.
Keeping the outlet, AC adapter, and power plug pins clean.

The Separate Purchase section mentions that items like the Magic Remote Control may be changed or modified and are model-dependent.

The Using the Button section explains how to operate the TV using its physical button, covering basic functions like power on/off, menu control, input source changes, volume adjustment, and channel scrolling.

The Mounting on a Table section provides instructions for setting up the TV on a table, including ventilation requirements and connecting the AC-DC adapter. It also describes the optional Kensington security system for securing the TV to a table.

It includes notes on external device compatibility, recording TV programs, PC mode considerations (noise, resolution), wired LAN connections (CAT 7 cable recommended), and HDR picture viewing. It also covers Antenna connection for RF cables and Other connections for HDMI and USB devices, noting supported HDMI audio formats.

The Remote Control section describes the functions of various buttons on the remote, including power, search, subtitles, quick settings, input source, number buttons, quick help, dash, list, more actions, quick access, volume, favorite channels, guide, mute, and accessibility.
