OPERATION MANUAL

ENGLISH

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 oper-

ated.

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 attach-

ments 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. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

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. 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 cord protection—The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on

them or objects from resting on them.

12. 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.

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

shock.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. 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 adjust-
ment 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.

17. 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 characteristics and per-
formance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other
danger.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other

heat-generating products (including amplifiers).

21. 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.

The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 3,147,264 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.

This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or
moisture.

•

A large, flat LCD display panel with 3.15 million pixels lets you enjoy a detailed, high-
definition picture from a digital TV or a PC.

•

SHARP’s unique ASV* low-reflection BLACK TFT LCD panel provides higher luminance,
higher contrast, and a wider viewing angle. This reduces reflection in the monitor when it
is placed near a window, and ensures brighter, more vivid image reproduction. With a
wide viewing angle of 170 degrees, both horizontally and vertically, the image is
beautiful, even when viewed obliquely.

* ASV … Advanced Super View
