SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to

ASA

or

be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked
on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains plug and
fit an appropriate type.
DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a

safe manner.

Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious
electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue : Neutral Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows;

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.

• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:

• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.

• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

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 Safety Precautions

Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and property damage if
improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety. However,
improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential danger, please observe the following
instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of
your LCD colour TV product, please read the following precautions carefully before using the product.

■ Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.

■ Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for future

reference.

■ Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.

■ Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.

■ Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments can

result in accidents.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ If you plan to use a DC power supply unit other than the AC adapter supplied with the product, make sure the power
supply unit provides stable voltage with minimum fluctuations. Unstable power supply can cause problems in the
product.

■ Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords.
Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

2

Important Safety Precautions (Continued)

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ 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 dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be
injured by broken glass pieces in case the LCD panel breaks.

■ 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 expose this product to dripping or

splashing. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on
the product.

The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 921,600 thin film transistors, giving you fine picture details.
Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red.
Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.

Preparation

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

Before using the LCD TV set for the first time, install the two R-03 (“AAA” size, UM/SUM-4) batteries supplied in the remote
control. When the batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new R-03
(“AAA” size, UM/SUM-4) batteries.

1 Open the battery cover. 2 Insert two R-03 (“AAA” size,

UM/SUM-4) batteries.

■ Slide the cover while
pressing the ([) part.

■ Position the positive and
negative ends of the
batteries as indicated in
the compartment.

3 Replace the battery cover.

■ Engaging the lower
claw with the remote
control, close the
cover.

Caution!

Precautions 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 depleted. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical
leakage is found, wipe it off with a cloth.

• The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

• If the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.

Using Remote Control

■ Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor
window of the main unit. Objects between the remote control and
sensor window may prevent proper operation.

Cautions regarding use of remote control

■ Do not expose the remote control to shock. In addition, do not
expose the remote control to liquids, and do not place it in an area
with high humidity.

■ Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight. The
heat may cause deformation of the unit.

■ The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor
window is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such a case,
change the angle of the lighting or main unit, or operate the remote
control closer to the remote sensor window.

Antenna Connection

To enjoy a clearer picture, we recommend that you use an
outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the
types of connection that are used for coaxial and feeder cables:

(1)If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable,

change this for a new standard DIN45325 (IEC169-2) plug
and plug it into the antenna terminal at the back of TV set
via the antenna cable (not supplied).

(2)If your outdoor antenna uses a 300-ohm twin-lead flat

feeder, change this for a 300-ohm to 75-ohm impedance
converter and plug it into the antenna terminal at the back
of TV set via the antenna cable (not supplied).

Teletext

■ What is Teletext?

Teletext is an information service organized like a magazine, which is provided
by some TV stations in addition to regular television broadcasting. Your LCD
TV set receives special Teletext signals broadcast by a TV station, processes
the information and displays it graphically on the screen. News, weather and
sports information, stock exchange prices, programme reviews and closed
captioning for the deaf are among the many services available through
Teletext.

■ Teletext mode

Teletext is activated with TEXT on the remote control and is also closed with it.
The LCD TV set can be controlled in Teletext mode directly by inputting
commands with the remote control and indirectly through the on-screen display
(menu system).

■ Operating instructions in Teletext mode

• The FLOF system for teletext is transmitted in UK currently.

• The TOP system for teletext is transmitted in Germany currently.

• If TOP Teletext is broadcast, a control line and TOP line can be displayed on

the screen. The TOP line involves the operating instructions associated with
all of the coloured buttons if TOP text is transmitted, or the operating instruc­tions for only Red and Green if TOP text is not being transmitted.

• If there are subpages, a control line holding the operating instructions for

subpages can be displayed on line 24.

■ Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments

•

When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed.
This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.

• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a
heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.
