OPERATION MANUAL

BEDIENUNGSANLEITUNG

MODE D'EMPLOI

This equipment complies with the requirements of Directive 89/336/EEC and 73/23/EEC as amended by 93/68/EEC.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked 🌿 or ◆ and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.

Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.

Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socked outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows;

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.

Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug. Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:

• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.
• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Dear SHARP Customer

Thank you for your purchase of the SHARP LCD Colour TV product. To ensure safety and many years of trouble-free operation of your product, please read the Important Safety Precautions carefully before using this product.

Important Safety Precautions

Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and property damage if improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety. However, improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential danger, please observe the following instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of your LCD colour TV product, please read the following precautions carefully before using the product.

• Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.
• Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for future reference.
  ■ Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.
  ■ Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.
  ■ Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments can result in accidents.
  ■ Power source—This product must operate on a power source specified on the specification label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For units designed to operate on batteries or another power source, refer to the operating instructions.
  ■ Power cord protection—The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them or objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product.
  If you plan to use a 13-VDC power supply unit other than the AC adapter supplied with the product, make sure the power supply unit provides stable voltage with minimum fluctuations. Unstable power supply can cause problems in the product.
  ■ Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.
  ■ Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.
  ■ Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.
  ■ Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and request a qualified service person to perform repairs:
  a. When the power cord or plug is damaged.
  b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.
  c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
  d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions. Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment work by a qualified technician.
  e. When the product has been dropped or damaged.
  f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that the product needs servicing.
  ■ Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.
  ■ Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.
  ■ Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product according to the method recommended by the manufacturer.

Important Safety Precautions (Continued)

■ Cleaning—Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp cloth to clean the product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

■ Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink and laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.

■ Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

■ When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the cart.

■ Ventilation—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 product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions are followed.

■ The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the LCD panel breaks.

■ Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating products (including amplifiers).

Caution!

Precautions regarding batteries

■ Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals 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 batteries and/or cause old batteries to leak chemicals.
- Remove batteries as soon as they are depleted. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical leakage is found, wipe it off with a cloth.
- The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.
- If the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.

Using Remote Control

■ Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor window of the main unit. 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 liquids, and do not place it in an area with high humidity.
■ Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.
■ The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor window is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such a case, change the angle of the lighting or main unit, or operate the remote control closer to the remote sensor window.

Teletext

■ What is Teletext?

Teletext is an information service organized like a magazine, which is provided by some TV stations in addition to regular television broadcasting. Your LCD TV set receives special Teletext signals broadcast by a TV station, processes the information and displays it graphically on the screen. News, weather and sports information, stock exchange prices, program previews and closed captioning for the deaf are among the many services available through Teletext.

■ Teletext mode

Teletext is activated with TEXT on the remote control and is also closed with it. The LCD TV set can be controlled in Teletext mode either directly by inputting commands with the remote control or indirectly through the on-screen display.

■ Operating instructions in Teletext mode

Only lines 0 to 23 (one transmitted Teletext page) can be displayed on the screen simultaneously. When you turn on a control line holding the operating instructions for TOP text or subpages, it is superimposed on line 23. Only one control line can be displayed at one time.

369 SHARP-TEXT 02:52:06 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

The function executed with a control line displayed is not implemented additionally. This means specifically:

• If FLOF Teletext is broadcast, a control line is transmitted as the 24th line, which cannot be displayed on the screen, so it is superimposed on line 23. To prevent constant loss of information on line 23, turn off the control line.
• If TOP Teletext is broadcast, a control line, TOP line, can be displayed on the screen. The TOP line involves the operating instructions associated with all of the coloured buttons if TOP text is transmitted, or the operating instructions for only Red and Green if TOP text is not being transmitted.
• If there are subpages, a control line holding the operating instructions for subpages can be displayed on line 23.
