Connecting Smart Devices using NFC Tagging

NFC is technology that uses Near Field Communication (13.56 MHz), allowing you to conveniently send and receive
information without separate settings. By bringing a smart device near the NFC-enabled remote control, you can
install the LG ThinQ app and connect the device to the TV.
1. Turn on NFC in the smart device’s settings. To use NFC with Android devices, set the NFC option to enable ‘read/
write tags’ in the smart device's settings. The NFC settings may vary depending on the device.
2. Bring the smart device near the (NFC) on the remote control. The required distance for NFC tagging is about 1
cm.
3. Follow the instructions to install the LG ThinQ app on your smart device.
4. Retagging the smart device to the remote control allows you to conveniently access various features on the
connected TV through the LG ThinQ app.

Note •• This feature is available for NFC-enabled smart devices only.

•• This feature is only available if the remote control has an NFC logo.

 Precautions To Take
• Use the remote control within the specified range (within 10 m).
You may experience communication failures when using the device outside the coverage area or if there are
obstacles within the coverage area.
• You may experience communication failures depending on the accessories.
Devices such as a microwave oven and wireless LAN operate in the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as the Magic
Remote. This may cause communication failures.
• The Magic Remote may not work properly if a wireless router (AP) is within 0.2 m of the TV. Your wireless router
should be more than 0.2 m away from the TV.
• Do not disassemble or heat the batteries.
• Do not drop the battery. Avoid extreme shocks to the battery.
• Do not immerse the batteries in water.
• Caution : Risk of fire or explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
• Properly dispose of used batteries.
