Unstable surface and shocks

Do not place this TV set on an unstable car t, 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
