SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse.
Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked
the same rating as above, which is also indicated 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.

or

)5)

and of

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.

Important Safety Precautions

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.

•

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.

•

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.

•

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
impact applied. If the LCD panel is broken, be careful not to be injured by broken glass.

•

Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat­generating 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 place the AC cord under the TV set or other heavy items.

•

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

•

There is power consumption always if main plug is connected.

•

Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage
and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified person to perform servicing.

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

Precautions when transporting the TV

When moving the TV, it should always be carried by two people, using both hands, be careful not to apply pressure
to the display.

WARNING:

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the
user may be required to take adequate measures.

should not attempt to do the work themselves. SHARP bears no responsibility for improper mounting or mounting that
results in accident or injury.

•

You can ask qualified service personnel about using an optional bracket to mount the TV to a wall.

Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you find any chemical leakage,

•
wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

•
If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from it.
