ENGLISH

-   The TFT colour 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 
colours 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 display a still picture for a long period, 

as this could cause a residual image.

-   If the brightness is adjusted to the minimum 

setting, it may be diffi cult to see the screen.

-   The quality of the video signal may infl uence 

the quality of the display. We recommend using 
an equipment able to perform high quality video 
signals.

-   Never rub or tap the monitor with hard objects.
-   Please understand that Sharp Corporation 

bears no responsibility for errors made during 
use by the customer or a third party, nor for any 
other malfunctions or damage to this product 
arising during use, except where indemnity 
liability is recognised under law.

-   This monitor and its accessories may be 

upgraded without advance notice.

-   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 fi re.

-   Ensure that the monitor does not come into 

contact with water or other fl uids. Ensure that 
no objects such as paper clips or pins enter 
the monitor as this could lead to fi 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 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 
fi re.

-   The monitor cannot rotate display images for 

portrait display. Content must be formatted to 
be longer vertically from the display source.

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 fi re 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 fi 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.
