Dear SHARP customer

Thank you for your purchase of the SHARP LCD colour TV product. To ensure safety and many years of
trouble-free operation of your product, please read the Important Safety Precautions carefully before using
this product.

Important information

This product qualifies for ENERGY STAR when “HOME” is selected for “TV location”.
Setting “TV Location” to “HOME” allows the TV to achieve an energy-saving status for household use.

Important Safety Precautions

•

Stand base must be attached to prevent the TV set from falling down and cause injuries.

•

Cleaning — Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the product.
Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosol cleaners or chemical cloth to clean it, as such materials may damage the product.

•

Water and moisture — Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool and in a
wet basement.

•

Do not place vases or any other water-filled containers on this product.
The water may spill onto the product causing fire or electric shock.

•

Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Doing so can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious
personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer
or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the mounting
hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

•

When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surface
can cause the product to fall from the cart.

•

Ventilation — The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings
since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or
other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product
in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.

•

The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is struck forcefully or with a sharp object. If
the LCD panel is broken, be careful not to be injured by broken glass.

•

Heat sources — Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating products (including
amplifiers).

•

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

•

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC power cord under the TV set or other heavy items.

•

Do not place heavy objects on this product or stand on it. Doing so could cause injury if the product overturns. Take special care near
children and pets.

•

The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 1,049,088 (only for LC-32LE355X)/2,073,600 (only for LC-40LE355X) pixels, giving
you fine picture details.
Due to the very large number of pixels, occasionally a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red.
This is within product specifications and does not constitute a fault.

•

Precautions when transporting the TV

When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding or otherwise putting pressure onto the display. Be sure to always carry the TV by two
people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the TV.

•

Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.

•

Install the product on the place where the AC cord can be unplugged easily from the AC outlet, or from the AC INPUT terminal on the rear
of the product.

•

If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries, particularly to
children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

•

Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.

•

Only using furniture that can safely support the television.

•

Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

•

Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television to
a suitable support.

•

Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.

•

Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.
