• Please use the TV close to the wall after installation.

How to fix anchors and screws
(Except for OLW480B, LSW440B, LSW640B)
Please make sure that:

• Check that the material and thickness of the wall and finishing material comply with the installation manual. Before beginning the mounting process, you must be sure the wall is able to support the weight of the TV.
• Should use the enclosed anchors and screws on crack-free concrete walls.
• Never install the product on a plasterboard or wall made of paper or medium-density fiberboard (MDF). When it is necessary to install the product on such wall, anchor screws must be fastened to retaining walls (concrete) or wood Stud inside the finishing material.
• The wall mount should be attached to a stud. This usually will not be a problem, but depending upon individual circumstances, there may be cases when the ability to mount into a stud is not possible. In this case, there are a variety of drywall anchors, such as toggle bolts, which may provide a solution. If using drywall anchors, please be sure the anchors and the wall have the ability to support the weight of your TV. Please note that the supplied anchors may not be the correct ones for your individual situation, so you should check with a local professional.
• Other unspecified walls must be capable of supporting pullout loads of over 70 kgf (154 lbf) (686 N) and shear loads of over 100 kgf (220 lbf) (980 N) per fastener.
• Use an Ø 8 mm drill bit for concrete and a hammer (impact) drill or Ø
  4 mm drill bit for wood stud to drill holes.

For installation on concrete wall

1. Drill holes in anchor locations with a drill bit of Ø 8 mm to a depth of 80 mm (3.14 inches) to 100 mm (3.93 inches).
2. Clean the drilled holes.
3. Insert the enclosed anchors for fixing the wall mount into the holes. (Use a hammer when inserting anchors.)
4. Push the wall mount support closely toward the wall to match the hole locations.
5. Tighten screws for fixing the wall mount to the holes. At this time, tighten  the screws to a torque of between 45 kgf/cm (39.06 lbf/in) to 60 kgf/cm (52.08 lbf/in).

For installation on wood stud

Use the Ø 4 mm drill bit for wood to drill holes with the depth of 76 mm (2.9 Inches). (Clean the drilled hole.)
Without using the wall mounting anchor, fasten the wall mounting screw directly to the wood stud.

Precautions for Protecting the OLED TV Screen

Unlike regular LED/LCDs, OLED TVs produce images that emit light for each pixel, achieving a perfect black color and delivering clear images without blurring.
Due to the nature of the organic materials used to achieve high-resolution image quality, OLED displays generally experience image retention on the screen, which can be a persistent phenomenon. This phenomenon is observed in all OLED panels, and although recommended picture modes can minimize image retention, current technology cannot completely prevent this from occurring.
Displaying the same image for a long time or repeatedly displaying the same image can cause image retention on the screen, which is a common phenomenon in OLED panel products due to the nature of the product. This product has a built-in screen protection feature. Avoid displaying images that are likely to cause image retention, and follow the recommendations.

Images that are likely to cause image retention

• Images with black areas on the top and bottom and/or the left and right sides of the screen.
• Images whose aspect ratio is 4:3 or 21:9.
• Images that are fixed for a long time, such as channel number, station logo, game console icon, set-top box menu, etc.
• Other fixed screen images or repeatedly displayed images.

Running [Pixel Cleaning] to Protect the OLED TV Screen
The OLED TV is equipped with a pixel cleaning feature to check the status of the screen by itself and prevent image retention that leaves an image on a screen. This feature automatically calculates the optimal execution time based on the accumulated viewing time and is automatically executed when the TV is turned off. While this feature is running, horizontal lines may appear at the top and bottom of the screen. The pixel cleaning feature works when the product is connected to the power cord and main power.

• To run this function manually, press the button on the remote control, go to → [General] → [OLED Care] → [OLED Panel Care] and press [Pixel Cleaning].

Recommendations for Minimizing Image Retention
When watching the TV for a long time, press the button on the remote control, go to → [Picture] → [Select Mode] and set the mode to [APS], go to [Advanced Settings] → [Brightness] and set [OLED Pixel Brightness] to a lower level. In addition, press the button on the remote control, go to [General] → [OLED Care] → [OLED Panel Care] and set  the [Adjust  Logo Brightness] value to [High].
When showing images with black bars at the top/bottom/left/right side of the screen, press the button on the remote control, press , and go to [Picture] → [Aspect Ratio] → [User Selection] → [Vertical Zoom] or [4-Way Zoom] to remove the black bars.
Turn off the menus for setting up devices such as set-top boxes so that they are not displayed on the screen for a long time.

Note

• When the screen is showing one fixed image for a long time, the screen brightness will be automatically reduced and then restored once the screen content changes. This is a normal function to minimize image retention.

CHILD SAFETY:
PROPER TELEVISION PLACEMENT MATTERS

THE CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY CARES
Manufacturers, retailers and the rest of the consumer technology industry are committed to making products safe and enjoyable. As you enjoy your television, please note that all televisions – new and old- must be supported on proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Televisions that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, carts, etc., may fall over, resulting in injury.

TUNE IN TO SAFETY

• NEVER allow children to climb on or play on the television or the furniture on which the television is placed.
• NEVER place the television on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
• ALWAYS follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation of your television.
• ALWAYS read and follow all instructions for proper use of your television.
• ALWAYS install the television where it cannot be pushed, pulled over or knocked down.
• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to the television so that they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNT YOUR TELEVISION

• ALWAYS contact your retailer about professional installation if you have any doubts about your ability to safely mount your television.
• ALWAYS use a mount that has been recommended by the television manufacturer and has a safety certification by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
• ALWAYS follow all instructions supplied by the television and mount manufacturers.
• ALWAYS make sure that the wall or ceiling where you are mounting the television is appropriate. Use proper anchoring systems for different wall or ceiling types (e.g. wood, concrete, metal, etc.). If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
• Televisions can be heavy. A minimum of two people is required for a wall or ceiling mount installation.

MOVING AN OLDER TELEVISION TO A NEW PLACE IN YOUR HOME

• REMEMBER Special care should be made in the placement of older CRT/flat-panel televisions. Many new television buyers move their older CRT/flat-panel televisions into a secondary room after the purchase of a flat-panel television.
• NEVER place your older CRT/flat-panel television on a dresser where children may be tempted to use the drawers to climb.
• ALWAYS place your older CRT/flat-panel television on furniture that is sturdy and appropriate for its size and weight.
• ALWAYS make sure your older CRT/flat-panel television does not hang over the edge of your furniture.
