							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.
Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe the panel when it is dirty. To protect the panel, do not use a chemical cloth to clean 
it. Chemicals may cause damage or cracks in the cabient of the TV.
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).
Headphones—Do not set the volume at a high level. Hearing experts advise against extended listening at 
high volume levels.
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 damage the LCD screen.
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.
Precautions when transporting the TV
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. •

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 fi nd 
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.
Note on disposing batteries:
The batteries provided contain no harmful materials such as cadmium, lead or mercury.
Regulations concerning used batteries stipulate that batteries may no longer be thrown out with the household 
rubbish. Deposit any used batteries free of charge into the designated collection containers set up at commercial 
businesses.
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.
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

							Quick guide
Fixing the TV on a wall
This TV should be fixed on a wall only with the wall fix bracket available from SHARP (Page 5). The use 
of other wall fix brackets may result in an unstable installation and may cause serious injuries.
Fixing the LCD colour TV requires special skills and should only be performed by qualified service 
personnel. Customers should not attempt to do the work themselves. SHARP bears no responsibility 
for improper fixing or fixing that results in accident or injury.
You can ask qualified service personnel about using an optional bracket to fix the TV on a wall.
To use this TV fixed on a wall, first remove the adhesive tape at the two locations on the rear of the TV, and then 
use the screws supplied with the wall fix bracket to secure the bracket to the rear of the TV.
When you fix the TV on a wall, you should attach the supporting post. •
