Rod antenna connection
• When using the RF terminal connection, set the TV to channel zero to make initial adjustments for the VCR.
• If you are using a rod antenna and the signal from TV station is weak or not clear, the picture may not display clearly
or properly. In this case, we recommend that you use an outdoor antenna.
Damage
Turn off the power and unplug
the power cord from the wall
outlet immediately if the TV set
begins to make any unusual noises or gives
off smoke or an unusual smell. Then call your
dealer for service.
Servicing
To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not remove the back of
the cabinet. This TV set contains
dangerous voltage.
Unstable surface
and shocks
Do not place this TV set on an
unstable cart, stand, shelf, or
table. The TV set may fall, causing serious injury
to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
set. Sharp recommends securing the TV set to
a stable surface or wall to prevent the set from
falling due to sudden shocks or impact.
Power-cord protection
To prevent electrical shock, do
not subject the AC power cord to
damage by bending or twisting it,
or by placing heavy items on top
of it and do not place the AC power cord under the
TV set. If the AC power cord becomes damaged,
unplug it from the wall outlet immediately and call
your dealer for service.
Moisture
To prevent electrical shock,
do not use the TV set in an
excessively damp place.
Water
To prevent fire or electrical
shock, do not place the TV set
near a bathroom, swimming
pool or other area where it may
become wet.
Liquid entry
Do not place a flower vase
or anything else containing liquid
on the TV set, as liquid spilt on the
TV set can cause electrical shock
or failure.
TV Set position
Do place the TV set onto an even
stand, table or rack which size is
bigger than the TV set.
If the TV set is put onto a smaller
size or uneven stand, table or rack may cause
the TV cabinet distort.
Do not put or insert anything between TV set and
the stand, table or rack.
Ventilation
Do not place this TV set in a
confined area, such as on a
bookshelf or in a built-in case.
Leave adequate space behind the TV for proper
ventilation.
Uneven surface and
excessive force
Television equipment and cart
combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the equipment and cart
combination to overturn.
