Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C) or to extremely low temperatures.

If the unit does not work properly, unplug and plug it in again. Than turn on the unit.

In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.

Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the AC outlet, as pulling the cord can damage internal wires.

The AC power plug is used as a disconnect device and shall always remain readily operable.

Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.

This unit should only be used within the range of 41°F -

95°F (5°C - 35°C).

SHARP is not responsible for damage due to improper use. Refer all servicing to a SHARP authorised service center.

Warnings:

The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from such usage.

In case of repairing, please bring the entire system set to the service center.

Volume control

Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.

Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which generate electrical noise.

Do not place anything on top of the unit.

The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker efficiency, location and various other factors.

It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which occurs while turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or while continually listening at high volumes.

About NFC technology

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of standards for devices (smartphones/tablets) to establish radio communi - cation with each other by touching/tapping them together or bringing them into close proximity.

Using NFC in this product simplifies the pairing method of

Bluetooth connectivity.

Unlike other wireless technology, NFC requires no discovery or pairing.

Simply tap the source device to the NFC detection area on the sound bar to instantly enjoy seamless connectivity between your smart device and the audio system.

z This audio system supports NFC-enabled device with Android 4.1, Jelly Bean and higher.

z For device with a lower Android version, refer the operation manual of the device for recommended app (application).

Troubleshooting chart (continued)

Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet or on the transmitter on the remote control. Condensation can cause the sound bar to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the sound bar.

Maintenance

Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.

Caution: z Do not use chemicals for cleaning (gasoline, paint thinner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet finish.

z Do not apply oil to the inside of each component. It may cause malfunctions.

If problem occurs during operation

When this product is subject to strong external interference

(mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunction.

If such a problem occurs, do the following:

1. Set the sound bar to the standby mode and turn the power on again.

2. If the sound bar is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and plug in the sound bar again, and then turn the power on.

Factory reset, clearing all memory

Make sure to disconnect all output and input cables attached to the sound bar before performing the factory reset.

1. Press the ON/STANDBY button on the sound bar l to enter the power standby mode.
