DEAR SHARP CUSTOMER
Thank you for your purchase of the Sharp LCD COLOR TV. To ensure safety and many years of trouble­free operation of your product, please read the IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS carefully before using this product.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Read instructions-All the safety and operating instruc­tions should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions-The safety and operating instruc­tions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings-All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions-All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning-Unplug TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol clean­ers. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninter­rupted service and that for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning description otherwise required in item 5.
6. Attachments-Do not use attachments not recommend­ed by the TV manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture-Do not use this TV near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
8. Accessories-Do not place this TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV may fall, caus­ing serious injury to someone, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the TV. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops,
PORTABLE CART WARNING
S3126A
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
9. Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This TV should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This TV should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufac­turer’s instructions have been adhered to .
10. Power Sources-This TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For TVs intended to operate from bat­tery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. Grounding or Polarization-This TV is 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.
12. Power-Cord Protection-Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13. Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some pro-
tection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, ground­ing of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and require­ments for the grounding electrode. (Fig. A)
14. Lightning-For added protection for this TV receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the TV due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. Power Lines-An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light of power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an out­side antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
16. Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17. Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind into this TV through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV.
18. Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service per­sonnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed. b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV. c. If the TV has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the TV does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV to its normal operation.
e. If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way. f. When the TV exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance-this indicates a need for service.
20. Replacement Parts-When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replace­ment parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other hazards.
21. Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the TV is in proper operating condition.
22. Heat-This TV product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Sometimes a performance problem can be easily solved by checking seemingly apparent but often over­looked possibilities. Before arranging for service, check these items. It could save your time and money.
Closed Caption Problem Possible Remedy
My TV is showing captions that are misspelled.
My TV will not show the text in its entirety or there is a delay of what is being said.
My captions are scrambled with white boxes on the TV screen.
My program guide listed a TV show as being closed captioned but none of the captions were displayed.
My prerecorded videotape does not show any captions. The tape box mentions it being closed captioned.
My TV screen shows a black box on certain channels.
The LCD panel is manufactured to provide many years of useful life. Occasionally a few non active pixels may appear as a tiny spec of color. This in not to be considered a defect in the LCD screen.
You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the closed captioning production company may pass through uncorrect­ed. A prerecorded program will not show any misspelled words because of the normal time available for editing the captions.
Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production compa­nies can display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that the captions remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.
Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc. may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.
Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to the actual program so that additional advertising time can be given. Since the decoder cannot read the compressed information, captions will be lost.
The videotape was either an illegal copying or the tape duplicating company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the copying process.
You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode or CAPTION [OFF].
