SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or )5) and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used. Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

DANGER:

The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur. To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue: Neutral Brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red. Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug. Before replacing the plug cover make sure that: If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug. The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

OPERATION MANUAL

Dear SHARP customer
Thank you for your purchase of the SHARP LCD colour TV product. To ensure safety and many years of troublefree operation of your product, please read the Important Safety Precautions carefully before using this product.
Important Safety Precautions
CleaningUnplug 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 moistureDo 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. StandDo 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 manufacturers 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. VentilationThe 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 manufacturers 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 sourcesKeep 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. ServicingDo 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.

Product shape varies in some countries.

Setting the TV on the wall
This TV should be mounted on the wall only with the wall mount bracket available from SHARP. (See page 35.) The use of other wall mount brackets may result in an unstable installation and may cause serious injuries. The centre of the TV screen is 4 mm below A engraved onto the metal plate angle used for affixing to a wall. Installing the LCD Colour TV requires special skill that should only be performed by qualified service personnel. Customers should not attempt to do the work themselves. SHARP bears no responsibility for improper mounting or mounting that results in accident or injury. You can ask a qualified service personnel about using an optional bracket to mount the TV to the wall.

Inserting the batteries

Before using the TV for the first time, insert two AA size batteries (supplied). When the batteries become depleted and the remote control unit fails to operate, replace the batteries with new AA size batteries.
Hold in the tab on the battery cover and pull the cover towards the direction of the arrow. Insert two supplied AA size batteries.
Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (e) and (f) indications in the battery compartment.
Insert the smaller tab of the battery cover into the opening (1), and press down on the cover until it clicks in place (2).
CAUTION Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below. Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical leakage in old batteries. Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you find any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth. The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions. If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from it.
Using the remote control unit
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor. Objects between the remote control unit and sensor may prevent proper operation.

Remote control sensor

Cautions regarding the remote control unit
Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity. Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit. The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote control sensor of the TV is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of the lighting or TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote control sensor.

Appendix

Troubleshooting

Problem

No power.

Possible Solution

Check if you pressed B on the remote control unit. (See page 8.) If the indicator on the TV lights up red, press B. Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 4.) Check if you pressed a on the TV. (See page 8.) External influences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning the power off, or unplugging the AC cord and re-plugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes. Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 5.) Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.) Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting? Is a fluorescent light illuminated to remote control sensor?
