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 be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked
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.
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 troublefree 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.
15. Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before installing the speakers.

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.
• 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 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).
The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 3,147,264 thin film transistors, giving you fine picture
details.
