Tips and safety precautions
Thank you for your purchase of the Sharp LCD monitor. To ensure safety and many years of trouble-free
operation of your product, please read the safety precautions carefully before using this monitor.
Important safety precautions
- If an outside antenna is connected to the equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so
as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
- For added protection for this equipment during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment due to
lightning and power-line surges.
- An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

Tips and safety precautions
The Power Cord
- Do not damage the power cord nor 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.
Use of AC adapter
- Do not use the AC adapter for other than the
specified equipment.
- Unplug the AC adapter if it is not used for long
time.
- Do not place any objects on the AC adapter.
- Do not use the AC adapter outdoors.
- Do not attempt to repair the AC adapter if it is
broken or malfunctioning. Refer the servicing to
the service representative.
- Do not try to open the AC adapter.
- Do not use water or wet cloth for cleaning the
AC adapter.

- 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 leave the screen displaying idly for long
periods of time, as this could cause an
afterimage to remain.
- 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.

upgraded without advance notice.
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.
- 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.

Remote control
Batteries for the remote control
Before using the monitor for the first time, install two (“AAA” size, UM/SUM-4) batteries (supplied).
When the batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with
new (“AAA” size, UM/SUM-4) batteries.
CAUTION!
Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the
instructions below.
- Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications.
- Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.
- Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new battery
and/or cause the old battery to leak chemicals.
- Remove batteries when they become weak.
Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical leakage is found, wipe with a cloth.
- The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.
- If the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the
remote control.
Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor window on the monitor. Objects between
the remote control and sensor window may prevent proper operation.
Cautions regarding use of remote control
- Do not expose the remote control to shock.
In addition, do not expose the remote control to liquid, and do not place in an area with high humidity.
- Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight. The heat may deform the unit.
- The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor window of the monitor is under direct
sunlight or strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of the lighting or monitor, or operate the
remote control closer to the remote sensor window.

Antenna connection
CAUTION!
- When connecting, ensure that the monitor is switched off.
Antennas
The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black &
white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna
systems.
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without
tools (not supplied).
2. A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be
attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm
adapter (not supplied).
F-type connector
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
Notes:
- The 75-ohm coaxial cable is recommended.
- TV memory for channels is empty at shipment. To receive channels, use the CHANNEL SETTING
menu. (See pages E21 through E24.)
Outdoor antenna connection
- Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna.
A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.
B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas.
- Connect the outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the ANT (antenna input) terminal on the left side of the
monitor.

Antenna connection
Cable TV (CATV) connection
- A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75-ohm
coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT (antenna input) terminal.
- Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay
channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by
the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled
channels. (Set your monitor to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this is
unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV,
consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided
by your cable TV company is explained below.
Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied).
“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view all unscrambled channels by using the
monitor’s channel buttons.
“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/
descrambler by using the converter’s channel keys.
Note:
- Consult your SHARP Dealer or Service Center for the type of splitter, RF switch or combiner that might
be required.
