Introduction

Dear SHARP customer

Thank you for your purchase of the SHARP LCD colour TV product. To ensure safety and many years of trouble-free
operation of your product, please read the Important Safety Precautions carefully before using this product.

Important safety precautions

• Cleaning—Unplug the AC 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.
• Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe the panel when it is dirty. To protect the panel, do not use a chemical cloth to
clean it. Chemicals may cause damage or cracks in the cabinet of the TV.
• 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.
• The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is
dropped or impact applied. 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 heatgenerating 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 cord under the TV set or other heavy items.
• Headphones—Do not set the volume at a high level. Hearing experts advise against extended listening at high
volume levels.
• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.
• There is power consumption always if main plug is connected.
• Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and
other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified person to perform servicing.
• Do not insert foreign objects into the product. Inserting objects in the air vents or other openings may result in fire or
electric shock. Exercise special caution when using the product around children.
• Condensation — Moisture will form in the operating section of the player if the product is brought from cool
surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, player's
performance will be impaired. To prevent this, let the product stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before
switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually. Condensation may also form during the
summer if the product is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the
product.
• Disc slot — Keep your fingers well clear of the disc slot as it is closing. Failure to do so may cause serious personal
injury.
• Laser beam — Do not look into the opening of the disc slot or ventilation opening of the product to see the source of
the laser beam. Doing so may cause sight damage.
• Disc — Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These discs are easily broken and may cause serious
personal injury and product malfunction.
The LCD panel is a very high technology product, 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.
WARNING
To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles or other open flames away from this product at all times.
