SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE UK
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 : NeutralBrown : 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.

Dear SHARP customer
Thank you for your purchase of the SHARP LCD colour TV product. To ensure safety and many years of 
troublefree operation of your product, please read the Important Safety Precautions carefully before using this 
product.
Important Safety Precautions
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 or in a wet basement.
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.
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.
The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or impact applied. If the LCD panel is broken, be careful not to be injured by broken glass.
Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat generating products (including amplifiers).
To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or open flame on the top or near the\
 TV set.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC cord under the TV set or other heavy items.
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.
The LCD panel is a very high technology product, giving you fine picture details.
Due to the very large number of pixels, occasionally a few non-active pixels may appea\
r on 
the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red.
This is within product specifications and does not constitute a fault.
Precautions when transporting the TV
When moving the TV, it should always be carried by two people, using both hands, be careful not to apply
pressure to the display.
Cleaning tips
Make sure to brush off the dirt on the cloth 
before cleaning the cabinet. Make sure to 
spray water 4-6 times onto the cloth for this 
purpose before cleaning the cabinet wiping 
in one direction. After cleaning, wipe the 
cabinet to remove any moisture.

Connecting External Devices
You can enjoy picture and sound by connecting devices, such as a VCR or 
home video game system, to the terminals located on the rear of the LCD 
TV set.
When connecting an external device, turn off the power of the LCD TV set 
first to prevent any possible damage.
NOTEThe cables marked with * are commercially available items.For more information about external device connections, see the operation manuals of your external devices.Make sure that the corresponding cables are connected to each terminal. Connecting other cables may result in a malfunction.EXT3 has two terminals, VIDEO and S-VIDEO terminals. If your external device has an S-VIDEO terminal, S-VIDEO connection is recommended. S-VIDEO provides a finer, more detailed picture. If both terminals are connected, S-VIDEO terminal takes a priority.The PC input terminals are DDC1/2B-compatible.Refer to page 27 for a list of PC signals compatible with the TV.Macintosh adaptor may be required for use for some Macintosh computers.When connecting to a PC, the correct input signal type is automatically detected.
