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.

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. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments can
result in accidents.

6. 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.

7. AC cord protection—The AC 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.

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

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet, and request a qualified
service person to perform repairs.

a. When the AC 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

LC-22GA3MX_E_P01-09.p65 04.8.25, 7:53 PM2

Important Safety Precautions (Continued)

• Cleaning—Unplug the AC 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,
laundry tub, swimming pool and in
a wet basement.

• Stand—Do not place the product
on an unstable cart, stand, tripod
or table. Doing so 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.

• 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).

• Do not place vases or any other
water-filled containers on this
product. The water may spill onto
the product causing fire or electric
shock.

•To prevent fire, never place any
type of candle or naked flames on
the top or near the TV set.

• 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.

•To prevent fire or shock hazard,
do not place the AC power cord
under the TV set or other heavy
items.

The LCD panel is a very high technology product with
1,229,760 thin film transistors, giving you fine picture
details.
Due to the very large number of pixels, a few
non-active pixels may occasionally appear
on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red.
This is within product specifications and does not
constitute a fault.

Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this
could cause an afterimage to remain.

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

Before using the LCD TV set for the first time, install the two “AAA” size batteries supplied in the remote control. When the
batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new “AAA” size batteries.

1 Open the battery cover. 2 Insert two “AAA” size batteries. 3 Close the battery cover.

■ Slide the cover while
pressing the (

) part.

■ Place batteries with their
terminals corresponding to
the (+) and (–) indications in
the battery compartment.

■ 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 LCD TV set may have a shorter operating time 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 apply shock to the remote control. 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.

■ 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)
