Function Description:
The LG LED TV is a television set that utilizes an LCD screen with LED backlights. It is designed for home entertainment, allowing users to watch broadcast television, connect to various external devices, and access smart features. The TV supports both digital and analogue broadcasting standards, including DVB-S/S2, DVB-T/T2, DVB-C, PAL/SECAM B/G/I/D/K, and SECAM L, depending on the country. It can store a large number of programmes (up to 6,000 for digital and 3,000 for analogue). The TV can be operated using a physical button on the unit or via a remote control, including a Magic Remote for supported models, which offers advanced features like voice recognition and NFC tagging. The "Always Ready" feature allows the TV to operate with direct voice recognition and Bluetooth connectivity even when the power is off.

Avoid using chemicals like glass cleaner, air fresheners, insecticides, lubricants, wax, abrasive cleaners, thinner, benzene, or alcohol, as these can damage the product or its panel.
- Safety:
- Protect the power cord from physical damage.
- Do not move the TV while plugged in.
- Always grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplugging.
- Avoid connecting too many devices to one AC outlet.
- The power plug is the disconnecting device and should be readily accessible.
- Keep children from climbing on the TV.
- Ensure outdoor antennas are properly grounded and avoid touching them during lightning storms.
- Do not insert metallic or inflammable objects into the product.
- Unplug the product immediately and contact customer service if it is damaged, exposed to water/substances, emits smoke/odors, or during lightning storms/long periods of disuse.
- Avoid using high voltage electrical equipment near the TV.
- Do not modify the product without authorization.
- Use only authorized attachments/accessories.
- Handle the AC adapter and power cord carefully.
- Do not touch the TV with wet hands.
- Batteries: Store accessories (batteries) out of reach of children. Do not short circuit, disassemble, overheat, or dispose of batteries in fire. Replace with the correct type to avoid fire/explosion risk.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides solutions for common issues such as remote control problems, no image/sound, sudden TV shutdown, no signal in PC (HDMI) mode, and abnormal display (e.g., tiny dots, brightness variations, temporary distortion from touching the screen, image sticking). It also addresses generated sounds like "cracking" noise (due to thermal contraction) and electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing (normal operating sounds).
