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 re-
quires 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 manufacturers 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 manufacturers 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
Preparing and Using the Remote Control
Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor window. 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 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 of the main unit is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of the lighting or LCD TV set, or operate the remote control closer to the remote sensor window.
SLEEPPOWER
SLEEP indicator Power/Standby indicator Remote sensor window
Batteries for Remote Control
Before using the LCD TV set for the first time, install two (AAA size, UM/SUM-4) batteries (supplied). When the batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new (AAA size, UM/SUM-4) batteries.
1 Open the battery
cover.
2 Insert two (“AAA size,
UM/SUM-4) batteries.
3 Close the battery
cover.
Slide the cover while
pressing the ([) part.
Caution!
Position the positive and negative ends of the batteries as indicated in the compartment.
Engage the claw on the cover into the battery housing and slide shut.
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.
If the remote control is not used for an extended period of time, remove batteries from the remote
control.

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 Singapore currently.
The TOP system for teletext is transmitted in Australia 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.

Problem Check item
The reception may be weak.
The picture is not sharp.
The picture moves.
The picture is doubled or tripled.
The picture is spotted.
The state of the broadcast may also be bad.
Make sure the antenna is facing the right direction.
Make sure the outside antenna is not disconnected.
Make sure the antenna is facing the right direction.
There may be reflected electric waves from mountains or
buildings.
There may be interference from automobiles, trains, high voltage lines, neon lights, etc.
There may be interference between the antenna cable and power cable. Try positioning them further apart.
Is the unit receiving interference from other devices?
There are stripes on the screen or colours fade.
Transmission antennas of radio broadcasting stations or amateur radios, and cellular phones may also cause interference.
Use the unit as far apart as possible from devices that may cause possible interference.
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. (Storage temperature: –20°C to +60°C)
