Thank you for your purchase of a 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.

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

  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 dry 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. Do not install the product in a place where water may splash onto

it. Be careful of equipment which drains water such as an air-conditioner.

  8.  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 sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. 

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.

  9.   Power cord protection — The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them or objects from 

resting on them.

 10.   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.

11.  Overloading — Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.

12.   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.

 13.   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.

parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the original parts. Use of

unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.

 16.  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.

17.   Wall mounting — When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to install the product according to the method

• Only using furniture that can safely support the monitor.

• Ensuring the monitor is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

• Not placing the monitor on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the

monitor to a suitable support.

• Not standing the monitors on cloth or other materials placed between the monitor and supporting furniture.

• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the monitor or its controls.

- Don’t allow children to climb on or play with the monitor.

- Don’t place the monitor on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

-  Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” monitor. Care 

should be taken to place or install the monitor where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

-  Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the monitor so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by 

curious children.

unsafe places. Do not allow the monitor to receive strong 

shocks or to strongly vibrate. Causing the monitor to fall or

as the monitor emits heat during operation, please be 

aware that this heat may discolor or alter the wall.

•  If it is difficult to provide sufficient space for any reason

such as the installation of the monitor inside a housing, or 

if the ambient temperature may be outside of the range 

of 32°F (0°C) to 104°F (40°C), install a fan or take other 

measures to keep the ambient temperature within the 

required range.

•  Adhere to the following when installing the monitor in its

vertical orientation. Failing to adhere to the following may 

cause malfunctions. 

-  Install the monitor such that the power LED is located on 

the downside.
