DEAR SHARP CUSTOMER

Thank you for your purchase of the Sharp Liquid Crystal Television. To ensure safety and many years

of trouble-free operation of your product, please read the Important Safety Instructions carefully before

using this product.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or

laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

• 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.

• Selecting the location — Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation.

• Ventilation — The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents

and openings since insucient 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 Liquid Crystal 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 panel breaks.

• Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products

(including ampliers) that produce heat.

• The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 2,073,600 pixels, giving you ne picture details.

Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a xed point of blue, green or red. Please note that this

does not aect the performance of your product.

• Lightning — For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and

unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the

equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

• Power Lines — An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric

light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,

extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

• Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system

is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge

unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
