OPERATION MANUAL

E1 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.

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.

Moisture

– To prevent electrical shock, do not use the TV set in an excessively damp place.

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.

TV Set position

– Do place the TV set onto an even stand, table or rack which size is bigger than the TV set.

If the TV set is put onto a smaller size or uneven stand, table or rack may cause the TV cabinet distort.
Do not put or insert anything between TV set and the stand, table or rack.

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.

Servicing

– To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the back of the cabinet. This TV set contains

dangerous voltage.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fire prevention

– To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flames on the top or near the TV set.

Electrical installation

– All pole mains switch with a separation of at least 3 mm in each pole shall be

incorporated in the electrical installation of the building.
