TIPS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

- The TFT color LCD panel used in this monitor is made with

the application of high precision technology. However, there may be minute points on the screen where pixels never light or are permanently lit. Also, if the screen is viewed from an acute angle there may be uneven colors or brightness. Please note that these are not malfunctions but common phenomena of LCDs and will not affect the performance of the monitor.

- Do not display a still picture for a long period, as this could

cause a residual image.

- 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.

- Do not use the monitor 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 receive strong shocks or to strongly vibrate. Causing the monitor to fall or topple over may damage it.

- Do not use the monitor near heating equipment or in places

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 over bend it. Also, do not add extension cords. Damage to the cord may result in ﬁre or electric shock.

- Use only the power cord supplied with the monitor.

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

- Do not remove or insert the power plug with wet hands. Doing so could result in electric shock.

- Unplug the power cord if it is not used for a long time.

- Do not attempt to repair the power cord if it is broken or malfunctioning. Refer the servicing to the service representative.

Mounting precautions

• Since the monitor is heavy, consult your dealer before installation.

• When installing or moving the monitor, ensure that this is carried out by at least 2 people.

• A stand and mounting bracket compliant with VESA speciﬁcations is required. Do not use any screw holes other than VESA holes for installation.

• When moving the monitor, be sure to hold it with the handles both on the rear and the unit bottom. Do not hold the LCD panel. This may cause product damage, failure, or injury.

• Install the monitor with the surface perpendicular to a level surface. If necessary, limit the tilt between 0 and 20 degrees downward.

• Mounting the monitor on the wall requires special expertise and the work must be performed by an authorized SHARP dealer. You should never attempt to perform any of this work yourself. Our company will bear no responsibility for accidents or injuries caused by improper mounting or mishandling.

• This monitor should be used at an ambient temperature between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). Provide enough space around the monitor to prevent heat from accumulating inside.

If it is difficult to provide such space because the monitor is

installed inside a housing or for other reasons, take other measures to keep the ambient temperature between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C) such as installing a fan in the housing.

• Adhere to the following when installing the monitor in the vertical orientation. Failing to adhere to the following may cause malfunctions.

- Install the monitor such that the power LED is located on

the downside.

- Set the MONITOR on the SETUP menu to PORTRAIT.

(See page 19.)

• Do not block any ventilation openings. If the temperature inside the monitor rises, this could lead to a malfunction.

• After mounting, it is recommended to take some measures to prevent the monitor from falling down.

• Do not place the monitor on a device which generates heat.

• Be sure to use a stand or a wall-mount/ceiling-mount bracket designed or designated for mounting the monitor.

• This monitor is designed to be installed on a concrete wall/ ceiling or pillar. Reinforced work might be necessary for some materials such as plaster / thin plastic board / wood before starting installation. This monitor and bracket must be installed on a wall which can endure at least 3 times or more the weight of the monitor. Install by the most suitable method for the material and the structure.

• Use the supplied vertical logo sticker when you install the monitor in vertical orientation.

ENGLISH

* The monitor can be installed close to a wall, etc.

However, the monitor emits heat during operation. Be aware that heat emitted from the monitor may discolour or alter the wall.

* Do not remove the factory-afﬁxed sticker but afﬁx the logo

sticker over it. Be careful not to cover the remote control sensor or buttons.

Caution

• Be sure to turn off the main power switch and disconnect the plug from the power outlet before connecting/ disconnecting cables. Also, read the manual of the equipment to be connected.

• Be careful not to mix up the input terminal with the output terminal when connecting cables. Mixing up the input and output terminals may cause malfunctions and the other problems.

Connection with a PC

• Use a commercially available signal cable (DVI-D 24 pin) for the PC1 input terminal. Set DVI SELECT on the OPTION menu to PC (DIGITAL) when using the PC1 input terminal. (See page 19.)

• Use a commercially available signal cable (Mini D-sub 15 pin) for the PC2 input terminal.

• Use a commercially available signal cable (BNC) for the PC3 input terminals. Set BNC SELECT on the OPTION menu to PC (ANALOG) when using the PC3 input terminals. (See page 19.)

• Use a commercially available audio cable (mini stereo jack) for the PC audio input terminal. Use an audio cable without resistance.

TIPS

• Images may not be displayed properly depending on the computer (graphics board) to be connected.

• A screen with 1920 x 1080 resolution may not be displayed correctly on PC3 (BNC). In this case, check the settings of your computer (graphics board) to verify that input signals conform to speciﬁcations of this monitor (Hsync: 66.3 kHz, Vsync: 60 Hz, and Dot frequency: 148.5 MHz). (See page

34.)

• If there is a check box to disable EDID in display control panel, check it when using PC3 (BNC).

• Use the automatic screen adjustment when a PC screen is displayed for the ﬁrst time using PC2 or PC3, or when the setting of the PC is changed. (See page 22.)

• The screen is adjusted automatically when SELF ADJUST in the OPTION menu is set to “ON”. (See page 19.)

Connection with AV equipment

• Use a commercially available signal cable (DVI-D 24 pin) for the AV1 input terminal. Set DVI SELECT on the OPTION menu to AV (DIGITAL) when using the AV1 input terminal. (See page 19.)

• Use a commercially available component cable (BNC) for the AV2 input terminals. Set BNC SELECT on the OPTION menu to AV (COMPONENT) when using the AV2 input terminals. (See page 19.)

• Use a commercially available video cable (BNC) for the AV3 input terminal.

• Use a commercially available audio cable (RCA) for the AV audio input terminals.

• The AV1 input terminal is compatible with the video signals below:

1920 x 1080 p @ 50/59.94/60 Hz 1920 x 1080 i @ 50/59.94/60 Hz 1280 x 720 p @ 50/59.94/60 Hz 720 x 576 p @ 50 Hz 720 x 480 p @ 59.94/60 Hz 640 x 480 p @ 59.94/60 Hz
