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
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 colour TV
product, please read the following precautions carefully before using the product.
I Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is
operated.
I Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe
place for future reference.
I Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.
I Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.
I Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate
attachments can result in accidents.
I 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.
I 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.
I If you plan to use a DC 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.
I Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords.
Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.
I 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.
I Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to
high voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform
servicing.
I Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and
request a qualified service person to perform repairs.
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged.
b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.
Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper
adjustment of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often re-
quires extensive adjustment work by a qualified technician.
e. When the product has been dropped or damaged.
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product
indicates that the product needs servicing.
I Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service
person uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteris-
tics and performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric
shock and/or other danger.
I Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to
perform safety checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.
I Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the
product according to the method recommended by the manufacturer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
I 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 clean-
ers or aerosol cleaners.
I 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.
I 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.
I 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.
I 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.
I 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.
I Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators,
heaters, stoves and other heat-generating products (including amplifiers).
I To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flames on the top or
near the TV set.
I To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to dripping or
splashing. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on
the product.
I The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 921,600 thin film transistors, giving you fine
picture details.
Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red.
Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.

Caution!
Cautions regarding batteries
Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the
instructions below.
• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications.
• Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new
batteries and/or cause old batteries to leak chemicals.
• Remove batteries as soon as they are non-operable.
Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical leakage is found, wipe with a
cloth.
• The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.
• If the remote control is not used for an extended period of time, remove batteries from the remote
control.

Teletext is an information service organized like a magazine, which is
provided by some TV stations in addition to regular television
broadcasting. Your LCD TV set receives special Teletext signals
broadcast by a TV station, processes the information and displays it
graphically on the screen. News, weather and sports information,
stock exchange prices, programme reviews and closed captioning for
the deaf are among the many services available through Teletext.

• Is the unit receiving interference from other devices?
Transmission antennas of radio broadcasting stations or
amateur radios, and cellular phones may also cause
interference.
• Use the unit as far apart as possible from devices that may
cause possible interference.
There are
stripes on the
screen or
colours fade.
I Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments
• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear
slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct
sunlight or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.
