SAFETY INSTRUCTION - 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. Do not use in an environment where there are corrosive gases (sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulde, nitrogen dioxide, chlorine, ammonia, ozone, etc.). As this could lead to re. - Ensure that the monitor does not come into contact with water or other uids. Ensure that no objects such as paper clips or pins enter the monitor as this could lead to re 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 re. - Do not use the monitor in places where it may be exposed to direct sunlight. Risk of cabinet deformation and failure if the monitor is used in direct sunlight. - Please be sure to constantly remove dust and garbage that has attached to the ventilation opening. If dust collects in the ventilation opening or the inside of the monitor, it may lead to excessive heat, outbreak of re, or malfunction. Please request a cleaning of the inside of the monitor from an authorized SHARP servicing dealer or service center. - The AC outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. The Power Cord - 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 re or electric shock. - Do not use the power cord with a power tap. Adding an extension cord may lead to re 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. 21. Do 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.

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 measures. An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a MAIN socket outlet with a protective earthing connection. To maintain compliance with EMC regulations, use shielded cables to connect to the following terminals: DVI-D input terminal, HDMI input terminal, D-sub input terminal, RS-232C input/output terminals, and DisplayPort input/output terminals. If a monitor is not positioned in a sufciently 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 xing 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.

• This equipment is not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be present unsupervised. 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.

MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS

• This product is for use indoors.

• A mounting bracket compliant with VESA specications 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 with the surface perpendicular to a level surface. If necessary, the monitor may be tilted up to 20 degrees upward or downward.

• 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 orientationFor the monitor in portrait orientation 5/16 [7] 5/16 [7]7-7/8 [200]2 [50]

• If it is difcult to provide sufcient space for any reason such as the installation of the monitor inside a housing or of several units side-by-side, 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. When installing two or more monitor units side-by-side, provide space of at least 3/16 inch (5 mm) around them to prevent stress on the adjacent unit or structure due to thermal expansion.

• Temperature condition may change when using the monitor together with the optional equipments recommended by SHARP. In such cases, please check the temperature condition specied 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.

• 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 right side. - Set the PORTRAIT/LANDSCAPE INSTALL in the MONITOR menu to PORTRAIT. (See OPERATION MANUAL.) - Be sure to clamp the power cord (supplied) by using the supplied cable clamp (afxing type). When clamping the power cord, take care not to stress the terminal of the power cord. Do not bend the power cord excessively. Power cord Cable clamp Mounting the monitor laying at on a surface

• When using the monitor laying at on a surface (when the monitor is tilted 20 degrees or more upward or downward from the perpendicular in relation to a level surface), consult an authorized SHARP dealer because there are some specic mounting conditions. Adhere to the following. Failing to adhere to the following may cause malfunctions. - The PN-R706/PN-R606 can be tilted by up to 90 degrees upward and by up to 45 degrees downward. - The PN-R556/PN-R496/PN-R426 can be tilted by up to 90 degrees upward and downward. - Set HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION in the MONITOR menu to UPWARD or DOWNWARD. (See OPERATION MANUAL.) - Use the monitor at the ambient temperature within the range of 32°F (0°C) to 86°F (30°C). Provide 7-7/8 inch (200 mm) or more space between the monitor and the ceiling or other mounting surfaces and surrounding objects to prevent heat from accumulating inside. If it is difcult to provide sufcient space or if the ambient temperature may be outside of the range of 32°F (0°C) to 86°F (30°C), install a fan or take other measures to keep the ambient temperature within the required range. 7-7/8 [200]7-7/8 [200]7-7/8 [200]7-7/8 [200] For the monitor laying flat on a surface (facing down) 7-7/8 [200]Unit: inch [mm] For the monitor laying flat on a surface (facing up) Unit: inch [mm]7-7/8 [200]7-7/8 [200]7-7/8 [200]7-7/8 [200]7-7/8 [200] - Do not press hard on the LCD panel or otherwise subject it to impacts.ENGLISH
