Precautions
General
Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well
ventilated area and ensure that there is a free space
along the sides, top and back of the equipment as below.
30 cm (12”) 30 cm (12”) 10 cm (4”)
Do not obstruct the gap when turning off the unit.
Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.
Place the unit at least 30 cm (12”) away from any CRT
TV to avoid colour variations across the TV screen. If
the variations persist, move the unit further away from
the TV. LED, plasma and LCD TV are not prone to such
variation.
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong mag-
netic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/
electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.)
which generate electrical noise.
Do not place anything on top of the unit.
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures
higher than 60°C (140°F) or to extremely low temperatures.

If your system does not work properly, disconnect the
AC power lead from the wall socket. Plug the AC power
lead back in, and then turn on your system.
In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.
Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it
from the wall socket, as pulling the lead can damage
internal wires.
The AC power plug is used as a disconnect device and
shall always remain readily operable.
Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in
electric shock. Refer internal service to your local
SHARP service facility.
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the
ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains, etc.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects
of battery disposal.
This unit should only be used within the range of 5°C
- 35°C (41°F - 95°F).
The apparatus is designed for use in moderate climates.

About NFC technology■
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of standards for
devices (smartphones/tablets) to establish radio communication with each other by touching/tapping them together
or bringing them into close proximity.
Using NFC in this product simplifies the pairing method of
Bluetooth connectivity.
This audio system supports NFC-enabled device with
●
Android 4.1, Jelly Bean and higher.
For device with a lower Android version, refer the
●
operation manual of the device for recommended app
(application).

NFC tag set up■
The NFC tags can be placed anywhere convenient to you.
The velcro tapes supplied will help to secure the tags onto
the desired location.
Caution:
Make sure that the NFC tag is placed on a flat and level surface.
●
If you choose not to use the velcro tape, do not place
●
the NFC tag near metal surface to avoid connection
interference during tagging.
Important:
NFC tag has unique ID for each individual set, SHARP
●
provides 2 identical tags for your convenience.
SHARP will not be held liable for the damages caused by
●
rewriting the tags.
Keep all small parts away from children as they may
be accidentally swallowed.

Bluetooth■
Blue tooth wireless technol ogy is a short-range radio
technology that enables wireless communication between
various types of digital devices, such as mobile phone or
computer. It operates within a range of about 10 metres (30
feet) without the hassle of having to use cables to connect
these devices.
This unit supports the following:
Communication System: Bluetooth Specification version
2.1 Bluetooth + Enhanced Data Rate (EDR).
Support Profile : A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)
and AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile)
Notes when using unit with a mobile phone
This unit cannot be used to talk over the telephone
●
even when there is a Bluetooth connection made to a
mobile phone.
Please refer to the operating manual supplied with the
●
mobile phone for details on operation of your mobile
phone whilst transmitting the sound using a Bluetooth
connection.
Pairing Bluetooth devices■
Bluetooth devices need to be initially paired first before
they can exchange data. Once paired, it is not necessary
to pair them again unless:
pairing is made with more than 8 devices.
●
Pairing can only be made one device at a time. This
unit can be paired to a maximum of 8 devices. If subsequent device is paired, the oldest device paired, will
be deleted and replaced with the new one.
this unit is reset. All pairing information is deleted when
●

Pairing with other Bluetooth source devices
■
Press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn the power
1
on.
Press the BLUETOOTH button on the remote control
2
or FUNCTION button repeatedly on the main unit to
select Bluetooth function. (Pairing indicator blinks.)
Press and hold the PAIRING button for 3 seconds or
3
more.
PAIRING indicator blinks quickly. The unit is now in
pairing mode and is ready to be paired with other
Bluetooth source device.
Perform pairing procedure on the source device to
4
detect this unit. “SHARP GX-BT3” will appear in the
detected devices list (if available) in the source device. (Refer the source device operating manual for
details).
Notes:
Place the devices to be paired within 1 metre (3
●
feet) of each other when pairing.
Some source devices are unable to display lists of
●
detected devices. To pair this unit with the source
device, refer to the source device operating manual
for details.
Select “SHARP GX-BT3” from the source list. If Pass-
5
code* is required, enter “0000”.
* Passcode may be called PIN Code, Passkey, PIN
number or Password.
Pairing indicator (blue) will stop blinking once the unit
6
is successfully paired with the source device. (Pairing
information is now memorised in the unit.)
Some audio source devices may connect with the unit
automatically after pairing is completed, otherwise
follow the instructions in the source device operating
manual to start connection.
Press the play button on remote control or source de-
7
vice to start Bluetooth streaming playback.
Notes:
If a device such as microwave oven, wireless LAN card,
●
Bluetooth device or any other device that uses the same
2.4 GHz frequency near the system some sound interruption may be heard.
The transmission distance of the wireless signal between
●
the device and the main unit is about 10 m (30 feet), but
may vary depending on your operating environment. If a
steel concrete or metallic wall is between the device and
the main unit, the system may not operate at all, because
the wireless signal cannot penetrate metal.
If this unit or the source device is turned off before Blue-
●
tooth connection is completed, pairing will not be completed and the pairing information will not be memorised.
Repeat step 1 onwards to start pairing again.
To pair with other devices, repeat steps 1 - 5 for each de-
●
vice. This unit can be paired to a maximum of 8 devices.
If subsequent device is paired, the oldest device paired,
will be deleted and replaced with the new one.
Once a device is ousted or deleted from the pairing list,
●
the pairing information for the device is also deleted. To
listen to the sound from the device again, it needs to be
re-paired. Perform steps 1 - 5 to pair the device again.
