IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Caring for the front panel
• Turn off the main power and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet before handling.
• Gently wipe the surface of the front panel with a soft cloth (cotton, fl annel, etc.).
To protect the front panel, do not use a dirty cloth, liquid cleaners, or a chemical cloth (wet/dry
sheet type cloth, etc.). This may damage the surface of the front panel.
• Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface of the front panel.
• Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe the front panel when it is really dirty.
(It may scratch the surface of the front panel when wiped strongly.)
• If the front panel is dusty, use an anti-static brush, which is commercially available, to clean it.
• To avoid scratching the frame or screen, please use a soft, lint free cloth for cleaning. Approved cleaning cloths are
available directly from Sharp in single (00Z-LCD-CLOTH) or triple (00Z-LCD-CLOTH-3) packs. Call 1-800-BE-SHARP for
ordering, or VISIT http://www.sharpusa.com/SharpDirect.
