DEAR SHARP CUSTOMER

Thank you for your purchase of the Sharp LCD Color TV product. To ensure safety and many years of trouble-free operation of your product, please read the Safety Precau- tions 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 color TV product, please read the following precautions carefully before using the product.

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

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

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

■Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.

■Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inad- equate attachments can result in accidents.

■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. For units designed to operate on batteries or another power source, refer to the operating instructions.

■Power cord protection—The power 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.

■If the AC adapter is misplaced or needs to be replaced, obtain the same type of adapter from a SHARP service center or your dealer.

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

■Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or open- ings. 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.

■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.

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

a.When the power 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.

■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 character- istics and performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.

■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.

■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.

■Polarization—This AC adapter may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
