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 to 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.
