Turning Power On/Off

Disabling power on/off operations

Power on/power off operations can be disabled in order to protect the monitor from an accidental power off. Set the ADJUSTMENT LOCK in FUNCTION menu to “ON 2”. (See
page 32.)
TIPS
Set the date in “Month/Day/Year” order.
Set the time on a 12-hour basis.
The clock is maintained by the internal battery.
If you already set the time but the date/time setting screen appears when the power is turned on, the internal battery may be exhausted. Please contact an authorized SHARP servicing dealer or service center for assistance with battery replacement.
Estimated service life of the internal battery: About 5 years (depending on monitor operation)
The initial battery was inserted at the factory when the monitor was shipped, so it may run out of power before
its expected operation life.

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.
