A b-LAN enabled head end device, such as an LG FMA-LG101, broadcasts over the RF distribution
system to communicate to multiple TVs. When the TV is first installed, it must be turned ON in order for
its embedded b-LAN module to receive communication from the head end device. At this point, if it is
desired for the b-LAN module to always be powered, including while the TV is in Standby, set Installer
Menu item 118 POWER SAVINGS to 1.
Also, if MPI communication is required for external MPI control, set Installer Menu item 118 POWER
SAVINGS to 1 so that the GAME CONTROL/MPI port circuitry is always powered.
Caution: POWER SAVINGS should NEVER be set to 7. This setting is intended for factory use
only.

The b-LAN module is internal to the TV. It allows hospital/institution head end equipment with b-LAN
technology to communicate, via the institution’s RF distribution system, with the TV for configuration and
control.
Installer Menu item 118 POWER SAVINGS controls the power circuitry for both the embedded b-LAN
module and the GAME CONTROL/MPI port. The default value is 3—the b-LAN module as well as the
GAME CONTROL/MPI port circuitry is only powered when the TV is turned ON. See chart below.
