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.
