Safety precautions
Damage
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet immediately if the TV set begins to make any unusual noises or gives off smoke or an unusual smell. Then call your dealer for service.
Servicing
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the back of the cabinet. This TV set contains dangerous voltage.
Unstable surface and shocks
Do not place this TV set on an unstable cart, stand, shelf, or table. The TV set may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the set. Sharp recommends securing the TV set to a stable surface or wall to prevent the set from falling due to sudden shocks or impact.
Water
To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not place the TV set near a bathroom, swimming pool or other area where it may become wet.
Moisture
To prevent electrical shock, do not use the TV set in an excessively damp place.
Power-cord protection
To prevent electrical shock, do not subject the AC power cord to damage by bending or twisting it, or by placing heavy items on top of it and do not place the AC power cord under the TV set. If the AC power cord becomes damaged, unplug it from the wall outlet immediately and call your dealer for service.
Safety precautions
Liquid entry
Do not place a flower vase or anything else containing liquid on the TV set, as liquid spilt on the TV set can cause electrical shock or failure.
Object entry
Never insert or drop any metallic or inflammable objects into the ventilation openings of the TV set, as this can cause fire, electrical shock, or electrical failure.
Ventilation
Do not place this TV set in a confined area, such as on a bookshelf or in a built-in case. Leave adequate space behind the TV for proper ventilation.
TV Set position
Do place the TV set onto an even stand, table or track which size is bigger than the TV set. If the TV set is put onto a smaller size or uneven stand, table or track may cause the TV cabinet distort. Do not put or insert anything between TV set and the stand, table or track.
Uneven surface and excessive force
Television equipment and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to overturn.
