Tips and safety precautions

- Under certain display conditions, minute specks

or spots may be noticeable. This is common for
liquid crystal monitors and is not a malfunction.

- The LCD panel has been manufactured using
highly elaborate technology. Properly working
pixels comprise 99.99% of total pixels. However,
please understand that 0.01% or less of pixels
may be missing or be brighter than usual.

- Do not leave the screen displaying idly for long
periods of time, as this could cause afterimage to
remain.

- If the brightness is adjusted to the minimum set­ting it may be difficult to see the screen.

- The quality of the computer signal may influence
the quality of the display. We recommend using a
computer able to emit high quality video signals.

- Never rub or tap the monitor with hard objects.

- Please understand that Sharp Corporation bears

no responsibility for errors made during use by
the customer or a third party, nor for any other
malfunctions or damage to this product arising
during use, except where indemnity liability is
recognized under law.

- This monitor and its accessories may be up­graded without advance notice.

Location

- Do not use the monitor where ventilation is poor,
where there is a lot of dust, where humidity is
high, or where the monitor may come into
contact with oil or steam, as this could lead to
fire.

- Ensure that the monitor does not come into
contact with water or other fluids. Ensure that no
objects such as paper clips or pins enter the
monitor as this could lead to fire or electric
shock.

- Do not place the monitor on top of unstable
objects or in unsafe places. Do not allow the
monitor to come into contact with strong shocks
or vibrations. Causing the monitor to fall or topple
over may damage it.

- Do not use in places where the monitor will be
subject to direct sunlight, near heating equipment
or anywhere else where there is likelihood of
high temperature, as this may lead to generation
of excessive heat and outbreak of fire

The Power Cord

- Do not damage the power cord nor place heavy
objects on it, stretch it or overly bend it. Also, do
not add extension cords. Damage to the cord
may result in fire or electric shock.

- Use only the AC adapter supplied with the
monitor. Using an AC adapter other than that
supplied may lead to fire.

- Insert the power plug directly into the AC outlet.
Adding an extension cord may lead to fire as a
result of overheating

Monitor care and repair

Monitor care

Always remove the plug from the AC outlet when
cleaning the monitor.

Cabinet and control panel section

Use a soft dry cloth to lightly wipe away any grime
from the cabinet and control panel.
If they are very dirty, apply neutral detergent to a
dampened soft cloth, wring it out well and wipe away
grime.

LCD panel section

Use a soft dry cloth to lightly wipe away dirt and dust
from the surface of the LCD panel. (A soft cloth such
as gauze or that used for lens cleaning is suitable.)

CAUTION!

- Never use thinner, benzine, alcohol, glass

cleaner, etc, as this could lead to color change or
change in shape.

- Never scratch the monitor with anything hard or
apply strong pressure as this could leave marks
or result in malfunction.

Storage

If the monitor will not be used for a long period of
time, be sure to remove the power plug from the AC
outlet.

CAUTION!

Do not leave the monitor in contact with rubber or
plastic items for long periods of time as this could
lead to color change or change in shape.

Troubleshooting

If you think the monitor may be faulty, please check
the following points before taking it to be repaired.
If afterwards it still does not work, please contact the
shop where you purchased the monitor or your
nearest Sharp authorized Service Center.

The monitor's florescent tubes have a limited life
span.

- If the screen darkens, persistently flickers or
does not light up, it may be necessary to
replace the florescent tube unit. Please
inquire at the shop where you purchased the
monitor or your nearest Sharp authorized
Service Center. (Never attempt this
replacement on your own.)

- In the initial period of use, due to the
characteristics of florescent tubes the screen
may flicker. (This is not a malfunction.)
Should this happen, check by first turning off
the power, then turning it on again.

DDC (Plug & Play)

This monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data
Channel) standard.
DDC is a signal standard for carrying out Plug &
Play functions on the monitor or PC. It transfers
information such as degree of resolution between
the monitor and PC. You can use this function if your
PC is DDC compliant and if it is set so that it can
detect the Plug & Play monitor.
There are many varieties of DDC due to the differ­ences between systems. This monitor works with
DDC1 and DDC2B.
