Dear SHARP Customer

Thank you for your purchase of the SHARP LCD colour TV product. To ensure safety and many years of trouble-free operation of your product, please read the Important Safety Precautions carefully before using this product.

Important Safety Precautions

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 LCD colour TV product, please read the following precautions carefully before using the product.

1.

Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.

2.

Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for future reference.

3.

Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.

4.

Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.

5.

Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments can result in accidents.

6.

Power source—This product must operate on a power source specified on the specification label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

7.

AC cord protection—The AC cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them or objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product.

8.

Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.

9.

Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.

10. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.

11. Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet, and request a qualified service person to perform repairs.

a. When the AC cord or plug is damaged.

b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.

c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.

d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.

Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment work by a qualified technician.

e. When the product has been dropped or damaged.

f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that the product needs servicing.

12. Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorised parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.

13. Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.

14. 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.

2

LC-13_15_20SH1E_E_P01-09.p65

2 2004.12.20, 6:29 PM

• Cleaning—Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp cloth to clean the product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

• Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.

• Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Doing so can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

• When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the cart.

• Ventilation—The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.

Important Safety Precautions (Continued)

• The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass.

Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the LCD panel breaks.

• Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating products

(including amplifiers).

• Do not place vases or any other water-filled containers on this product. The water may spill onto the product causing fire or electric shock.

• To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flames on the top or near the TV set.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC power cord under the TV set or other heavy items.

The LCD panel is a very high technology product with

921,600 thin film transistors, giving you fine picture details.

Due to the very large number of pixels, a few non-active pixels may occasionally appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red.

This is within product specifications and does not constitute a fault.

Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.

There is power consumption always if main plug is connected.

Preparation

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

Before using the LCD TV set for the first time, install the two “AA” size batteries (supplied) in the remote control. When the batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new “AA” size batteries.

1

Open the battery cover.

2

Insert two “AA” size batteries.

3

Close the battery cover.

1 2

• Detach the cover while pressing the

( ") part.

• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications in the battery compartment.

• Align the tab on the battery cover (1) and place it while pressing the tab (2) to close it.

Caution!

Precautions regarding batteries

Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications.

• Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries and/or cause old batteries to leak chemicals.

• Remove batteries as soon as they are depleted. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical leakage is found, wipe it off with a cloth.

• The batteries supplied with the LCD TV set may have a shorter operating time due to storage conditions.

• If the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.

Using the Remote Control

Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor window of the main unit. Objects between the remote control and sensor window may prevent proper operation.

Cautions regarding use of the remote control

• Do not apply shock to the remote control. In addition, do not expose the remote control to liquids, and do not place it in an area with high humidity.

• Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.

• The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor window is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such a case, change the angle of the lighting or main unit, or operate the remote control closer to the remote sensor window.

Remote control does not work.

Unit cannot be operated.

• Check if batteries in the remote control have sufficient power.

• Make sure the remote sensor window is not under strong lighting.

• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the unit after turning the power off, or unplugging the AC cord and replugging it in 1 or 2 minutes.

■ Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments

• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed.

This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.

• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.

(Storage temperature: –20°C to +60°C (–4°F to +140°F))

SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or

ASA

and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.

Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.

In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.

Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue : Neutral Brown : Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows;

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.

• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.

Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.

Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:

• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.

• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
