• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix batteries of different types. Voltage specications of batteries of the same shape may vary.
• Replace an exhausted battery with a new one promptly.
• If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.
• If leaked battery uid gets on your skin or clothing, rinse immediately and thoroughly. If it gets into your eye, bathe your
eye well rather than rubbing and seek medical treatment immediately. Leaked battery uid that gets into your eye or your
clothing may cause a skin irritation or damage your eye.
20. Usage of the monitor must not be accompanied by fatal risks or dangers that, could lead directly to death, personal injury,
severe physical damage or other loss, including nuclear reaction control in nuclear facility, medical life support system, and
missile launch control in a weapon system.
21. Do not stay in contact with the parts of the product that become hot for long periods of time. Doing so may result in
low-temperature burns.
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.
To maintain compliance with EMC regulations, use shielded cables to connect to the following terminals: DVI-D output
terminal, DVI-I input terminal, PC/AV HDMI input terminal, PC/AV D-SUB input terminal, RS-232C input/output terminals, and
DisplayPort input/output terminals.
If a monitor is not positioned in a sufciently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries,
particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
• Using xing devices like wall mount brackets recommended by the manufacturer.
• Only using furniture that can safely support the monitor.
• Ensuring the monitor is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
• Not placing the monitor on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the
monitor to a suitable support.
• Not standing the monitors on cloth or other materials placed between the monitor and supporting furniture.
• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the monitor or its controls.
Especially for child safety
- Don’t allow children to climb on or play with the monitor.
- Don’t place the monitor on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
- Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” monitor. Care
should be taken to place or install the monitor where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
- Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the monitor so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by
curious children.

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 re.
- Ensure that the monitor does not come into contact with
water or other uids. Ensure that no objects such as paper
clips or pins enter the monitor as this could lead to re 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 re.
- Do not use the monitor in places where it may be exposed to
direct sunlight.
- Please be sure to constantly remove dust and garbage that
has attached to the ventilation opening.
If dust collects in the ventilation opening, it may lead to
excessive heat, outbreak of re, or malfunction.
- As a standard, clean the inside of the monitor once every
year. If dust collects inside the monitor, it may lead to
excessive heat, outbreak of re, or malfunction. Please
request a cleaning of the inside of the monitor from an
authorized SHARP servicing dealer or service center.
- Images cannot be rotated on this monitor.
When using in portrait orientation, you will need to prepare
appropriately orientated content in advance.
- The AC outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall
be easily accessible.
The Power Cord
- Use only the power cord supplied with the monitor.
- 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 re or electric shock.
- Do not use the power cord with a power tap.
Adding an extension cord may lead to re 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.

TIPS
• Using this monitor’s screen-size switching or dual-screen display functions to compress or expand the screen for commercial
or public viewing in establishments like cafes or hotels may infringe on the rights of the creators, as protected by Copyright
Law, so please be careful.
• When “Enlarge” is set, the screen size is xed to “WIDE” mode.
• When dual-screen display is selected, the screen size cannot be changed.
• The appearance of the original video may change if you select a screen size with a different aspect ratio than the original
image (e.g. TV broadcast or video input from external equipment).
• When an ordinary non-wide image (4:3) is viewed with the whole screen using the screen-size switching function of this
monitor, the edge of the image may be lost or appear distorted. If you wish to respect the creator’s intentions, set the screen
size to “NORMAL”.
• When playing commercial software, parts of the image (like subtitles) may be cropped. In this case select the optimal screen
size using the screen-size switching function of this monitor. With some software, there may be noise or distortion at the
edges of the screen. This is due to the characteristics of the software, and is not a malfunction.
• Depending on the original image size, black bands may remain at the edges of the screen.
