IMPORTANT INFORMATION

There are two important reasons for prompt warranty registration of your new SHARP television set. Use the REGISTRATION CARD packed in with the set.

FIRST Ð WARRANTY

This is to assure that you will immediately receive the full consumer benefit of the parts, service and labor warranty applicable to your purchase.

SECOND Ð CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY ACT

To assure that you will promptly receive any safety notification on inspection, modification or recall that SHARP may be required to give under the 1972 Consumer Product Safety Act. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE IMPORTANT ÒLIMITED WARRANTYÓ CLAUSE ON THE LAST PAGE.

WHAT IS ENERGY STAR ¨

TVs and VCRs use energy both when they are on and when they are off. Americans spend more than $1 billion a year on energy consumed by TVs and VCRs when they are not in use. The new ENERGY STAR ¨ models will reduce that energy ÒleakageÓ by up to 75 percent. Ultimately, this will mean more than $500 million a year in energy savings for consumers.

The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the related carbon dioxide pollution that contributes to global warming. If every American family replaced their TVs and VCRs with ENERGY STAR ¨ models, it would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by five million tons every year Ñ equivalent to eliminating the pollution from more than one million cars.

By using ENERGY STAR ¨ products, you will save money on your electric bills and use less energy. That makes good economic sense and itÕs good for our environment.
