DEAR SHARP CUSTOMER
Thank you for your purchase of the Sharp LCD COLOR TV. To ensure safety and many years of trouble-free operation of your product,
please read the IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS carefully before using this product.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Read instructions-All the safety and operating instructions should be read before
the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions-The safety and operating instructions should be retained for
future reference.
3. Heed Warnings-All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions-All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning-Unplug TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid clean-
ers or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
EXCEPTION: Aproduct that is meant for uninterrupted service and that for some
specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a
CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any
other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the appliance in the clean-
ing description otherwise required in item 5.
6. Attachments-Do not use attachments not recommended by the TV manufacturer as
they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture-Do not use this TV near water, for example, near a bath tub,
wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, and the like.
8. Accessories-Do not place this TV on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV may fall, causing
serious injury to someone, and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with
the TV.
Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions and should use a mounting acces-
sory recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance
and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
9. Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided
for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it from over-
heating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never
be blocked by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This TV
should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This TV should not
be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventila-
tion is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
10. Power Sources-This TV should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For TVs intend-
ed to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instruc-
tions.
11.Grounding or Polarization-This TV is 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 pur-
pose of the polarized plug.
12. Power-Cord Protection-Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying par-
ticular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the appliance.
13. Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to
the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some pro-
tection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding elec-
trode. (Fig. A)
14. Lightning-For added protection for this TV receiver during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to
the TV due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. Power Lines-An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light of power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
16. Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.
17. Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind into this TV through open-
ings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result
in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV.
18. Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to quali-
fied service personnel.
19. Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV.
c. If the TV has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the TV to its normal operation.
e. If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance-this indicates a need for
service.
20. Replacement Parts-When replacement parts are required, be sure the service techni-
cian uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same char-
acteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, injury to persons or other hazards.
21. Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV, ask the service
technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the TV is in proper
operating condition.
22. Heat-This TV product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
