Tips and safety precautions
Location
- Do not use the monitor where ventilation is poor,
where there is a lot of dust, where humidity is
high, or where the monitor may come into
contact with oil or steam, as this could lead to
fire.
- 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 monitor. Do not place the
monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface, or in an enclosed space since they can
block ventilation openings.
- Ensure that the monitor does not come into
contact with water or other fluids. Ensure that no
objects such as paper clips or pins enter the
monitor as this could lead to fire or electric
shock.
- Do not place the monitor on top of unstable
objects or in unsafe places. Do not allow the
monitor to come into contact with strong shocks
or vibrations. Causing the monitor to fall or
topple over may damage it.
- Do not use in places where the monitor will be
subject to direct sunlight, near heating
equipment or anywhere else where there is
likelihood of high temperature, as this may lead
to generation of excessive heat and outbreak of
fire.
The power cord
- Do not damage the power cord, place heavy
objects on it, stretch it, or over bend it. Also, do
not add extension cords. Damage to the cord
may result in fire or electric shock.
- Use only the power cord supplied with the
monitor.
- Insert the power plug directly into the AC outlet.
Adding an extension cord may lead to fire as a
result of overheating.
- Do not remove or insert the power plug with wet
hands. Doing so could result in electric shock.
- Unplug the power cord if it is not used for a long
time.
- Do not attempt to repair the power cord if it is
broken or malfunctioning. Refer the servicing to
the service representative.
- The TFT color LCD panel used in this monitor is
made with the application of high precision
technology. However, there may be minute
points on the screen where pixels never light or
are permanently lit. Also, if the screen is viewed
from an acute angle, there may be uneven
colors or brightness. Please note that these are
not malfunctions but common phenomena of
LCDs and will not affect the performance of the
monitor.
- Do not display a still picture for a long period, as
this could cause a residual image.
- If the brightness is adjusted to the minimum
setting, it may be difficult to see the screen.
- The quality of the computer signal may influence
the quality of the display. We recommend using
a computer able to emit high quality video
signals.
- Never rub or tap the monitor with hard objects.
- Do not modify, disassemble, or repair the
monitor by yourself. Doing so may cause a fire,
electric shock, or injury.
- Be careful not to allow your fingers to be
pinched between the display and stand.
- Please understand that Sharp Corporation bears
no responsibility for errors made during use by
the customer or a third party, nor for any other
malfunctions or damage to this product arising
during use, except where indemnity liability is
recognized under law.
- This monitor and its accessories may be
upgraded without advance notice.
