• Charge the battery only at temperatures within the range of
10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) (temperatures that are comfort­able for people). At lower temperatures it becomes more
difficult to charge the battery and the battery deteriorates. It is
not possible to sufficiently charge the battery at high tempera­tures.

• The battery may become hot during charging or during use,
but this is not a sign of malfunctioning.

• It may take more time to fully charge a hot battery.

Precautions to be Taken during Charging

Regarding Operating Time and Use under Low Temperatures for the Battery

• The battery has a certain life expectancy. The battery is
consumed as time elapses even if the battery is not used. A
battery that has been used for about a year may give you less
operating time depending on the conditions under which it
was stored. If a battery that has been charged correctly
operates for a much shorter time than usual, it has reached
the end of its life and must be replaced with a new battery.

• When the battery is at a low temperature (lower than 10°C
(50°F)) in winter, the operating time may be very short. The
battery undergoes an internal chemical reaction in order to
generate electricity. When the temperature outside is lower,
the chemical reaction becomes less vigorous and operating
time becomes shorter.

How to Get the Most out of the Battery

• Turn off the power supply frequently when not in use in order to give the battery longer life.

• The battery is consumed as time elapses even if the battery is

not used. To prevent consumption;
(1) If the battery will not be used for a long time, use the

product to run down what is left of the battery charge and
set “Battery charge” to “off” in the menu screen. (Refer to
page 29.)

(2) Make sure to use the battery at least once every six

months.

Battery Specification

Storage Precautions

Regarding Battery Care

Charge the battery before use.

Battery type lithium-ion battery
Nominal voltage 11.1 V
Battery capacity 5700 mAh

Operating temperature 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F)

Maximum dimensions appx. Length 212 × Width 41 × Height 39 mm

Weight appx. 0.5 kg

• The battery used in the product is a lithium-ion battery. Even if
the battery is charged and stored, the amount of charge in the
battery will drop.

• Make sure to charge the battery until the charge indicator of
the product goes off (fully charged). The operating time is
shortened when using a battery which has not been fully
charged. (For a detailed description of how to charge the
battery, refer to page 15.)

5

Regarding Battery Care (Continued)

Prohibited use for which safety is not guaranteed.

• Do not try to disassemble or modify the battery. The battery
contains safety mechanisms and protection devices.
Damaging these safety devices may cause the battery to
generate heat or smoke, or to rupture or ignite.

• Do not connect the + and – terminals together with metal
such as wires. Do not carry or store the battery together
with metal objects such as necklaces and hairpins. Doing
so may cause the battery to be short-circuited so as to
cause an extremely large amount of electric current to flow,
which may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke,
rupture or ignite, or may cause metal objects such as wire,
necklaces, or hairpins to heat up.

• Do not expose batteries to fire or heat. Doing so may cause
insulating materials to melt, damage gas exhaust valves or
safety mechanisms, or ignite electrolytic solutions, which
may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture
or ignite.

• Do not leave the battery in or near fire, stoves, or other
high-temperature locations (of temperatures greater than
60°C (140°F)). If a resin separator is damaged by heat, the
battery may become internally short-circuited and this may
cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or
ignite.

• Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow
the battery to get wet. If the protection device contained in
the battery is broken, this may cause the battery to gener­ate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

• Do not charge the battery near a fire or in direct sunlight. If
the battery becomes hot, the protection device for prevent­ing danger operates to disable the battery from being
charged. If the protection device contained in the battery
becomes broken, the battery is charged at an abnormal
electric current or voltage. An abnormal chemical reaction
occurs inside the battery which may cause the battery to
generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

• Charge the battery in compliance with the specified charg­ing conditions. If the battery is charged without compliance
to the charging conditions (at temperatures greater than the
specified temperature, at voltages and electric current
greater than the specified amount or with modified charg­ers), the battery may be overcharged or charged at an
abnormal electric current and an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur inside the battery, which may cause the
battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

• Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a
hammer, or step on the battery. Doing so may cause the
battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

• Do not subject the battery to strong impacts or throw it
away. If the protection device contained in the battery
becomes broken, the battery is charged at an abnormal
electric current or voltage. An abnormal chemical reaction
may then occur inside the battery, which may cause the
battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

• Do not use the battery if it has been considerably damaged
or deformed. This may cause the battery to generate heat
or smoke, rupture or ignite.

• Do not solder directly onto the battery. Doing so may cause
insulating materials to melt, or damage gas exhaust valves
or the safety mechanism, which may cause the battery to
generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

• Use a battery case when carrying the battery.

• Keep the battery out of reach of children.

• In the event that the fluid inside the battery gets into one’s

eye, do not rub the eye because this may cause loss of
eyesight. Rinse the eye with clean water and consult a
doctor immediately. In the event that the fluid becomes
attached to skin or clothes, wash it off with clean water
immediately as this may cause injury.

6

Correct Use of the Product

Precautions Regarding Radio Waves

■ Do not use the product at the following locations. There may be cases where noise occurs or transmission/reception is
not possible.

• Locations where magnetic fields, electrostatic or interference occurs due to devices such as Bluetooth, wireless LANs, or

microwave ovens etc. that utilise the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as the product. (There may be cases where radio waves
cannot reach depending on the environment.)

• Keep the product away from a radio devices during use. (There may be cases of noise interference.)

■ Under the same frequency band as the product uses, in addition to Bluetooth, wireless LANs, and microwave ovens
etc. that utilise the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as the product, operation can also take place at on-site radio
stations that require a licence for mobile object identification used in factories and manufacturing lines etc. and
specified low power radio stations.

• Before using the product, make sure that there is no on-site radio stations for mobile object identification or specified low power

radio stations operating in the vicinity of the product.

• If there is any interference occurring to on-site radio stations for mobile object identification due to the product, stop using the

product immediately.

Regarding Range of Usage

■ The product is limited to domestic use.

(There is a possibility that transmission distance may become short depending on the communication environment.)

■ In the following cases, reception may become bad or impossible, which may cause sound and pictures to be
interrupted (pictures and sound are stopped), or blocks of noise to appear.

• Using the product in a reinforced concrete building such as a condominium building or a house of a metal structure.

• Using the product at locations near large-scale metallic furniture.

• Using the product in a crowd of people or close to buildings or obstacles, etc.

• Using the product at locations where magnetic fields, electrostatic and interference occur due to devices such as Bluetooth,

wireless LANs, or microwave ovens, etc. that utilise the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as the product.

■ Regarding reflected radio waves

• Radio waves that reach a television receiver are radio waves (direct waves) directly transmitted from a transmitter and radio

waves (reflected waves) arriving from various directions as a result of being reflected by walls, furniture, or buildings etc. There
are good and bad positions in terms of wave conditions due to the influence of these reflected waves, which may cause poor
picture reception. In this case, try changing the location of the TV receiver slightly. There are cases where pictures and sound
are distorted or interrupted due to the reflected waves as a result of a person passing over or approaching between the transmit­ter and the television receiver.

When a signal other than a regular signal is input

• When a signal other than a regular signal that is incompatible with this unit is input, the screen may freeze, but this is not a

malfunction.

• When a signal other than a regular signal is input from the Antenna, AV-IN1, AV-IN2, or AV-IN3 terminals, reception may be bad

depending on the performance of the Wireless Centre, and the message “This signal is not compatible” will display.

• Signals compatible with the Wireless Centre are as follows:

H: 15.625 kHz / V: 50.0 Hz, 59.52 Hz
H: 15.73426 kHz / V: 59.94 Hz
(Note: Reception may be available with AV-IN4.)

■ Charging the Battery (Continued)

Charging while Viewing:

You can watch the TV while charging is in progress by setting the “Battery charge” to “on” (page 29). In this case,
charging takes about 12 hours.

Note:

Note:

• Charging time may be longer depending on ambient temperature, battery condition and other factors. Check to make sure the charge
indicator is not lit before using.

General Reference for Battery Viewing Time

The viewing time differs according to the “Brightness”
setting (page 28).

Note:

Note:

• Operating time may be shorter depending on certain conditions such as use
in cold climates.

When You Want to Check the Amount of Remaining Battery
Power

Press the Cyan button on the remote control.

• Although the remaining battery power indicator will flash red for

the first 10 seconds, it will remain lit constantly after that time.

• The amount of remaining charge is only displayed when

operating on battery power.

• The remaining battery power indicator changes according to

battery status, temperature and conditions of use. This indicator
should be used as a reference for the amount of battery power
remaining.

When Battery is not Charging Properly

• If the charge indicator begins to flash extremely rapidly during charging, this means that charging is not proceeding
normally.

• When the charge indicator flashes at an interval of about a second during charging, the TV main unit is not in an
appropriate temperature range for charging. The temperature range for charging should be approximately between 10°C
(50°F) and 30°C (86°F).

• If the charge indicator begins to flash extremely rapidly (at about 3 flashes a second) during charging, this means that
charging is not proceeding normally because the battery may malfunction. Replace the battery with the new one.

Viewing with a Home AC Wall Outlet

Plug the AC adapter of the Wireless Centre and AC adapter of the TV main unit into an AC wall outlet.

• Check to make sure that the proper voltages indicated on the products are being used when plugging the AC adapters into
their respective DC terminals.

• If there is a Sharp product close to the video controller, the product may malfunction during transmission of the video controller.

■ Using the AC Adapter

• Although the AC adapters may become warm during use, this is not a malfunction.

• Do not wrap or cover the AC adapters with a blanket or similar covering. This can cause a malfunction or accident.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the AC adapters. The insides of the AC adapter contain high-voltage components

that can result in the risk of electrical shock.
