Network Setting Warnings
Use standard LAN cable (connect to Cat7 or higher with RJ45 connector, 10 Base-T, or
100 Base TX LAN port).
Resetting the router may cause network connection problems. In this case, the router will
operate normally if you turn it off and disconnect the TV, and then reconnect and turn it on.
LG Electronics is not responsible for network connectivity or operation failure due to
problems such as equipment failure or disconnected lines.
The network connection may not work properly because of network settings or the Internet
service provider.
DSL service must use a DSL modem; and cable service must use a cable modem. Since
only a limited number of network connections may be available, TV network setting may not
be used depending on the contract with Internet service provider. (If the contract does not
allow more than one device per line, only the already-connected PC may be used.)
A wireless network can experience interference from other devices that use the 2.4 GHz
frequency (wireless phone, Bluetooth device, or microwave oven). Although interference
can also happen when using the 5 GHz frequency, it is less likely to occur.
The wireless environment can make wireless network service run slowly.
Using several wireless devices at the same time can slow your network.
The access point device must support wireless connections and wireless connection
feature must be enabled on the device to have AP (access point) connection. Contact the
service provider for availability of wireless connections on the access point.
Check SSID and security settings of the AP. Refer to the appropriate documentation for
SSID and security settings of the AP.
If the network is changed by moving the TV or changing the router, you must set up the
wireless network again. Existing wireless network connections will not be saved.
Invalid settings of network devices (wired/wireless line sharer, hub) can cause the TV to
operate slowly or not operate properly. Install the devices correctly according to the
appropriate manual and network.
The connection method may differ depending on the AP manufacturer.

HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV) is a new broadcasting standard that enables
super-teletext type services, delivered by a broadcast TV programme, to be integrated or
linked to online services delivered over broadband to a connected Smart TV.
Consumers are therefore able to access various online services such as catch-up TV,
Video on Demand (VOD), programme related applications and other rich information
services in addition to traditional digital teletext services, all directly on to the TV in a
seamless experience. HbbTV services can be activated in a number of ways, the most
popular being pressing the . Users typically explore services with the traditional
navigation keys (including the OK button and the , , , ). The current version
of the HbbTV specification also includes support for “adaptive streaming” of video over a
broadband connection thus guaranteeing the best possible image quality for the viewer.

Tips for Using a USB Storage Device
A USB storage device that has a built-in automatic recognition programme or uses its own
driver might not be recognisable.
Some USB storage devices may not be supported or may not work properly.
If you use a USB extension cable, the USB storage device may not be recognised or may
not work properly.
Please use only USB storage devices formatted with the FAT32, exFAT or NTFS file
system provided by Windows OS.
It is recommended that you use an external USB HDD with a rated voltage of 5 V or less
and a rated current of 500 mA or less. If you use a device requiring a higher voltage/current
than the rated voltage/current, it may not operate properly due to lack of current.
It is recommended that you use a USB hub or USB storage device with a power supply.
We recommend using a storage device with a capacity of 32 GB for the USB memory and
2 TB or less for the USB hard disk.
If a USB HDD with power-saving function does not work, turn the hard drive off and on
again to make it work properly. See the owner’s manual for the USB HDD for more
information.
Data on a USB storage device may be damaged, so it is recommended that you back up
any important files. Users are responsible for data management. The manufacturer bears
no responsibility.
Press the
