following precautions carefully before using the product.
1. Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is
operated.
2. Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe
place for future reference.
3. Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.
4. Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.
5. Cleaning—Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp
cloth to clean the product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate
attachments can result in accidents.
7. Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen
sink and laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.
8. Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product
on an unstable base 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Power source—This product must operate on a power source specified on the specification label.
If you are not sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local
power company. For units designed to operate on batteries or another power source, refer to the
operating instructions.
12. Power cord protection—The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping
on them or objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product.
13. If the AC adapter is misplaced or needs to be replaced, obtain the same type of adapter from a
SHARP service center or your dealer.
14. The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is
dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the
LCD panel breaks.
15. Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords.
Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.
16. Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings.
High voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short
internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.
5
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
17. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to
high voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform
servicing.
18. Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and
request a qualified service person to perform repairs.
a.When the power cord or plug is damaged.
b.When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d.When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.
Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper
adjustment of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires
extensive adjustment work by a qualified technician.
e.When the product has been dropped or damaged.
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product
indicates that the product needs servicing.
19. Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service
person uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric
shock and/or other danger.
20. Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to
perform safety checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.
21. Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the
product according to the method recommended by the manufacturer.
22. Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and
other heat-generating products (including amplifiers).
23. Polarization—This AC adapter may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 921,600 thin film transistors, giving you fine
picture details.

Cautions regarding batteries
Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the
instructions below.
• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications.
• Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new
batteries and/or cause old batteries to leak chemicals.
• Remove batteries as soon as they are non-operable.
Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical leakage is found, wipe with a
cloth.
• The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

Antenna Connection
CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION
• A 75 ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75
ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75 ohm cable to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR.
• Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium
pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the
subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal
viewing of the scrambled channels. (Place your TV on channel 3 or 4, typically one of these
channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the
converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below.
Please note: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.

PREPARATION (Continued)
Antenna Connections
Antennas
■ The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white
television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna
systems:
F-type connector
1. A 75 ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without
tools (not supplied).
2. A 300 ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be
attached to a 75 ohm terminal through a 300-75 ohm
ADAPTOR (not supplied).
OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION
• Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna.
A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.
B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna.
• Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR on the rear of the TV set.
