connection. Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Configuration Application User Guide for
further information.
FTG Device Conguration Application software is available online at: www.LGsolutions.com/ftgsoftware.

FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings. Refer to FTG Mode information on pages 7 to 9 for
further details.

Reference section, “Restoring Factory Defaults on the TV(s),” for further information before proceeding.

PC that will be used to congure the EBL.
