FTG File Manager Utilities Overview As indicated in the introduction to this document, there are two separate and distinct methods for configuring LV570H TVs for FTG Mode of operation: one method is to configure the TV CPU for FTG Mode operation, while the other is to configure the TV EBL for FTG Mode operation. FROM A LOCAL CONFIGURATION STANDPOINT, EACH OF THESE METHODS IS MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. IF THE CPU IS IN FTG MODE, THE EBL CANNOT BE SWITCHED TO FTG MODE. LIKEWISE, IF THE EBL IS IN FTG MODE, THE CPU CANNOT BE SWITCHED TO FTG MODE. This section provides an overview of the FTG File Manager, which is used for FTG Mode via CPU configuration. The software is available online at: www.lg.com/us/business/display-solutions/ftg. Creating an FTG Configuration File The procedure below describes how to use the FTG File Manager utilities (see sample screens on pages 43 to 46) to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file that can be saved to a USB memory device. In order to enable decryption of Pro:Idiom encrypted channels, it is recommended that you create or view/ edit an FTG Configuration file using the FTG File Manager. Note: There is also an option to save (export) FTG Configuration from a TV, which may be desirable or required if you want to save customized TV setup menu settings to the FTG Configuration file and/or if you do not know the RF channels at the site. See "Exporting a Clone File" on pages 37 to 38 for further information. This procedure provides an overview of the steps required to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file. Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information. 1. Install (if necessary) and launch the FTG File Manager (v1.3.9 or later) on the PC that will be used to create the FTG Configuration (.tlx) file. 2. You have a number of options: • To view and/or base a new FTG Configuration file on an existing FTG Configuration (.tlx) file, click the Open button in the TLX File command section of the FTG File Manager main screen, and select/ double-click on the desired ".tlx" file. A list of the file's contents will be displayed in the TLX File Contents window. Either double-click on an individual item to copy it, or click the Copy All button directly above the TLX File Contents window to automatically copy all the contents of the opened file to the FTG Configuration List and, if applicable, Setup Menu List. Note, though, that while TV setup menu settings can be included in the new FTG Configuration file, the TV setup menu settings are not available for editing. Edit the configuration of the items in the FTG Configuration List as well as the FTG Configuration List itself and/or the Setup Menu List, as necessary, to create a new file. Then, proceed to step 3 when you are ready to continue. • To open an existing FTG Configuration (.rml) file created in the FTG Device Configuration Application to use its FTG Channel Map and/or FTG Installer Menu settings, click File and then Open from the FTG File Manager menu bar, and select/double-click on the desired ".rml" file. Edit channels and/or settings as necessary. Then, proceed to step 3 when you are ready to continue. • Create a new FTG Channel Map using the FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG Channel Map Configuration Utility. Up to 600 channels can be defined in the FTG Channel Map. When you are ready to continue, click Configure and then FTG File Manager from the FTG File Manager menu bar to return to the FTG File Manager main screen, and then proceed to step 3.

FTG File Manager Utilities Overview
As indicated in the introduction to this document, there are two separate and distinct methods for
configuring LV570H TVs for FTG Mode of operation: one method is to configure the TV CPU for FTG
Mode operation, while the other is to configure the TV EBL for FTG Mode operation. FROM A LOCAL
CONFIGURATION STANDPOINT, EACH OF THESE METHODS IS MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. IF THE
CPU IS IN FTG MODE, THE EBL CANNOT BE SWITCHED TO FTG MODE. LIKEWISE, IF THE EBL IS
IN FTG MODE, THE CPU CANNOT BE SWITCHED TO FTG MODE.
This section provides an overview of the FTG File Manager, which is used for FTG Mode via CPU
configuration. The software is available online at: www.lg.com/us/business/display-solutions/ftg.
Creating an FTG Con
guration File
The procedure below describes how to use the FTG File Manager utilities (see sample screens on pages
43 to 46) to create an FTG Con
guration (.tlx)
le that can be saved to a USB memory device. In
order to enable decryption of Pro:Idiom encrypted channels, it is recommended that you create or view/
edit an FTG Con
guration
le using the FTG File Manager.
Note:
There is also an option to save (export) FTG Con
guration from a TV, which may be desirable or
required if you want to save customized TV setup menu settings to the FTG Con
guration
le and/or if
you do not know the RF channels at the site. See “
Exporting
a Clone File
” on
pages 37 to 38 for
further information.
This procedure provides an overview of the steps required to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file.
Refer to the
Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide
for further information.
1. Install (if necessary) and launch the FTG File Manager (v1.3.9 or later) on the PC that will be used to

Setup Menu List. Note, though, that while TV setup menu settings can be included in the new FTG
Configuration file, the TV setup menu settings are not available for editing.
Edit the configuration of the items in the FTG Configuration List as well as the FTG Configuration
List itself and/or the Setup Menu List, as necessary, to create a new file. Then, proceed to step 3
when you are ready to continue.
