DEAR SHARP CUSTOMER

Thank you for your purchase of the Sharp Liquid Crystal Television. To ensure safety and many years
of trouble-free operation of your product, please read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
carefully before using this product.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 Liquid Crystal Television, please read the following precautions carefully before using the product.

1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including

amplifiers) that produce heat.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with

one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or
the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the

point where they exit from the apparatus.

11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the

apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.

13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged

in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.

15) Power Sources — This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the

marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local
power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.

16) Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can

result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17) Object and Liquid Entry — Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may

touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the product.

18) Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions:

a) When the AC cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the product to its normal operation,

e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

19) Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

20) Safety Check — Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to

perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

21) 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.
