SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate counter measures.

21. D o not stay in contact with the parts of the product that become hot for long periods of time. Doing so may result in low-temperature burns.

To maintain compliance with EMC regulations, use shielded cables to connect to the following terminals: PC/AV DVI-D output terminal, PC/AV DVI-D input terminal, PC/AV HDMI input terminal, PC D-SUB input terminal, PC RGB input terminals, and

RS-232C input/output terminals. If a monitor is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as: • Using fixing devices like wall mount brackets recommended by the manufacturer. • Only using furniture that can safely support the monitor. • Ensuring the monitor is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture. • Not placing the monitor on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the monitor to a suitable support. • Not standing the monitors on cloth or other materials placed between the monitor and supporting furniture. • Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the monitor or its controls.

Especially for child safety

- Don’t allow children to climb on or play with the monitor.

- Don’t place the monitor on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers. - Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” monitor. Care should be taken to place or install the monitor where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down. - Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the monitor so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

- Do not use the monitor 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 receive strong shocks or to strongly vibrate. Causing the monitor to fall or topple over may damage it. - Do not use the monitor near heating equipment or in places where there is likelihood of high temperature, as this may lead to generation of excessive heat and outbreak of fire. - Do not use the monitor in places where it may be exposed to direct sunlight.

- Use only the power cord supplied with the monitor. - 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. - Do not use the power cord with a power tap. 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.

- If the monitor is installed in a location exposed to sunlight such as next to a window, measures to reduce ultraviolet and infrared radiation and temperature measures are required.

For details, consult your dealer. - The AC outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

E MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS

• This product is for use indoors. • A mounting bracket compliant with VESA specifications is required. • Since the monitor is heavy, consult your dealer before installing, removing or moving the monitor. • Mounting the monitor on the wall requires special expertise and the work must be performed by an authorized SHARP dealer. You should never attempt to perform any of this work yourself. Our company will bear no responsibility for accidents or injuries caused by improper mounting or mishandling. • Use the monitor perpendicular to a level surface. If necessary, the monitor may be tilted up to 20 degrees upward or downward. • When mounting the monitor horizontally, the optional fan cover (PN-ZR31) is required. For details along with the horizontal mounting conditions, consult your dealer. • This monitor should be used at an ambient temperature between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). Provide enough space around the monitor to prevent heat from accumulating inside. For the monitor in landscape orientation

• Adhere to the following when installing the monitor in its portrait orientation. Failing to adhere to the following may cause malfunctions.

- Install the monitor such that the power LED is located on the bottom side. - Set the MONITOR on the SETUP menu to PORTRAIT. (See Operation manual.) - Be sure to secure the power cord (supplied) to the cable clamp attachment with the supplied cable clamp. Make sure that the power cord (supplied) does not supply power to the terminal when being secured and do not over bend the power cord (supplied). Power cord (Supplied)

• Use the supplied vertical sticker when you install the monitor in portrait orientation.

For the monitor in portrait orientation

Unit: inch [cm] 1-3/4 [4.5]

• If it is difficult to provide sufficient space for any reason such as the installation of the monitor inside a housing, or if the ambient temperature may be outside of the range of 32°F (0°C) to 104°F (40°C), install a fan or take other measures to keep the ambient temperature within the required range.

• Temperature condition may change when using the monitor together with the optional equipments recommended by SHARP. In such cases, please check the temperature condition specified by the optional equipments. • Do not block any ventilation openings. If the temperature inside the monitor rises, this could lead to a malfunction. • Do not place the monitor on a device which generates heat.

- Do not remove the factory-affixed sticker but affix the logo sticker over it. Be careful not to cover the remote control sensor or buttons.

• After installing the monitor, affix the included protection covers as necessary, and then apply the included protection stickers.

Mounting Precautions (For SHARP dealers and service engineers)

• When installing, removing or moving the monitor, ensure that this is carried out by at least 2 people. • Be sure to use a wall-mount bracket designed or designated for mounting the monitor. • This monitor is designed to be installed on a concrete wall or pillar. Reinforced work might be necessary for some materials such as plaster / thin plastic board / wood before starting installation. This monitor and bracket must be installed on a wall which can endure at least 4 times or more the weight of the monitor. Install by the most suitable method for the material and the structure. • To attach a VESA-compliant mounting bracket, use M6 screws that are 5/16 inch (8 mm) to 3/8 inch (10 mm) longer than the thickness of the mounting bracket. • When moving the monitor, be sure to hold it with the handles both on the rear and the unit bottom. Do not hold the LCD panel. This may cause product damage, failure, or injury. • After mounting, please carefully ensure the monitor is secure, and not able to come loose from the wall or mount. • Do not use any screw holes other than VESA holes for installation.
