•  “HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI 

Licensing LLC.”

•  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.

•  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 heat-generating 

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.
•  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.

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.

When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding onto the speakers. Be sure to always carry the TV by two 
people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the TV.

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.

•  Before attaching (or detaching) the stand, unplug the AC cord from the AC INPUT terminal.
•  Before performing work spread cushioning over the base area to lay the TV on. This will prevent it from being damaged.

bottom of the TV. (Hold the stand so it will  

 

not drop from the edge of the base area.)

 

2 Insert and tighten the 4 short screws into the  
 

4 holes on the rear of the TV.

Confirm that there are 8 screws (4 short screws 
and 4 long screws) with the stand unit.

Attach the supporting post for the stand unit 
onto the base using the 4 long screws with the 
hex key (supplied) as shown.

NOTE
•  To detach the stand unit, perform the steps in reverse 

order.
