Connecting to the Internet
To connect your TV to the Internet, you must have a broadband Internet connection.
If you do not have a broadband Internet connection, consult the store where you purchased your TV or ask your 
Internet service provider or telephone company.
When an Internet connection is made, an Ethernet and wireless connection cannot be used at the same time. 
Use only one of the connection types. (See page XX.)

+Using the Wireless LAN Adapter
When using the Sharp wireless LAN adapter (XXXXXXXX, supplied), make sure that no video/audio cables or 
other AC power cords are placed close to or on the wireless LAN adapter, as this may interfere with the wireless 
LAN signal and limit the LAN connection quality. Try to provide as much free space around the device for best 
performance.
Be sure to turn off the TV before connecting or disconnecting the Sharp wireless LAN adapter.
For a wireless LAN connection, you must use "Wireless Setting" to connect the access point and TV. (See page XX.)
Internet ModemPC
Wireless router/
access point
Do not use a wireless LAN adapter other than the supplied Sharp wireless LAN adapter, as operations cannot be guaranteed.
The supplied Sharp wireless LAN adapter has the following specifi cations.
Supported wireless LAN standard: IEEE802.11a/b/g/n
Security type: NONE, WEP, WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (AES)
This TV has received the following certifi cations when connected in an environment using the supplied Sharp wireless LAN 
adapter.
- Wi-Fi CERTIFIED
® (certifi cation program from the Wi-Fi Alliance)
- Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (certifi cation program from the Wi-Fi Alliance)
Operations cannot be guaranteed when used with access points that do not have Wi-Fi certifi cation.
A wireless LAN access point is required to connect the TV to the Internet using a wireless LAN. See the operation manual of 
your access point for setup.
If your access point is set to a stealth mode (that prevents detection by other devices), you may not be able to establish a 
connection. In this case, disable the stealth mode on the access point.
A wireless LAN connection and performance cannot be guaranteed for all residential environments. In the following cases, the 
wireless LAN signal may be poor or drop, or the connection speed may become slower.
- When used in buildings made with concrete, reinforced steel, or metal
- When placed near objects that obstruct the signal
- When used with other wireless devices that emit the same frequency
-  When used in the vicinity of microwave ovens and other devices that emit a magnetic fi eld, electrostatic charge, or 
electromagnetic interference
When there is signifi cant interference in the 2.4-GHz frequency (such as from other wireless LAN devices, Bluetooth
® devices, 
2.4-GHz cordless telephones, and microwave ovens), it is recommended that you use a wireless LAN access point that 
supports IEEE802.11a/n (5 GHz) and set the access point to transmit at 5 GHz. For setup details, see the operation manual of 
your access point.
For users outside the United States, be sure to select your country before using the wireless LAN function. (See page XX.)
A stable connection speed is required to play back streaming content, such as from Netfl ix and VUDU. Use an Ethernet 
connection if the wireless LAN speed is unstable.
Before transferring to a third party or disposal, be sure to initialize the wireless LAN settings. •
