IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and property
damage if improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest
priority on safety. However, improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent
potential danger, please observe the following instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the
product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of your LCD product, please read the following
precautions carefully before using the product.
1. Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is
operated.
2. Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe
place for future reference.
3. Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.
4. Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.
5. Cleaning—Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp
cloth to clean the product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate
attachments can result in accidents.
7. Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen
sink and laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.
8. Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product
on an unstable base 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Power source—This product must operate on a power source specified on the specification label.
If you are not sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local
power company. For units designed to operate on batteries or another power source, refer to the
operating instructions.
12. Power cord protection—The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping
on them or objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product.
13. If the AC adapter is misplaced or needs to be replaced, obtain the same type of adapter from a
SHARP service center or your dealer.
14. If you plan to use a 12-VDC power supply unit other than the AC adapter supplied with the
product, make sure the power supply unit provides stable voltage with minimum fluctuations.
Unstable power supply can cause problems in the product.
15. The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is
dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the
LCD panel breaks.
16. Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or
electric shock.
17. Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings.
High voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short
internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.
