DEAR SHARP CUSTOMER  
Thank you for your purchase of the Sharp LCD product. To ensure safety and many  
years of trouble-free operation of your product, please read the 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 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.  
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 13-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.  
 
4
18. 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.  
19. 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 requires  
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.  
20. 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.  
21. 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.  
22. Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and  
other heat-generating products (including amplifiers).  
23. Polarization—This AC adapter may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a  
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.  
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the  
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.  
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
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 when they become weak.  
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
