Thank you for your purchase of the SHARP LCD colour TV product. To ensure safety and many years of trouble-

Important Safety Precautions

• Cleaning — Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the product.
Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosol cleaners or chemical cloth to clean it, as such materials may damage the product.
• Water and moisture — Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming
pool and in a wet basement.
• Do not place vases or any other water-filled containers on this product. The water may spill onto the product causing fire or
electric shock.
• Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Doing so can cause the product to fall, resulting
in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended
by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer's
instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.
• When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven
floor surface can cause the product to fall from the cart.
• Ventilation — The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and
openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product
on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in
installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or
the manufacturer's instructions are followed.
• In case the product is dropped and the cabinet is damaged, be sure to turn off the power of the product, and unplug the
power cord. If you continue to use the product, it may cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not open the rear cover of the cabinet to reconstruct the circuits. There exists high voltage within the cabinet and it may
cause electric shock and injury. If maintenance is required, contact your dealer.
• The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is struck forcefully or with a
sharp object. If the LCD panel is broken, be careful not to be injured by broken glass.
• Heat sources — Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating
products (including amplifiers).
• To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flames on the top or near the TV set.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC power cord under the TV set or other heavy items.
• Do not place heavy objects on this product or stand on it. Doing so could cause injury if the product overturns. Take special
care near children and pets.
• The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 1,049,088 pixels, 2,073,600 pixels (For LC-32LE165H only), giving you
fine picture details. Due to the very large number of pixels, occasionally a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a
fixed point of blue, green or red. This is within product specifications and does not constitute a fault.
• Precautions when transporting the TV
When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding or otherwise putting pressure onto the display. Be sure to always carry the
TV by two people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the TV.
• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.
• Install the product on the place where the AC cord can be unplugged easily from the AC outlet, or from the AC INPUT terminal
on the rear of the product.
• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss. Adjustment of the equalizer to maximum
increases the earphones and headphones output voltage and therefore the sound pressure level.
• The mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
