The input mode changes automatically.
• When CONNECT AUTO INPUT SELECT is ON, the input
mode automatically changes to that terminal when a video
signal is input into the input terminal.
For this reason, the input mode may change when the
computer wakes up from system standby.

signal is present in a selected input mode, the monitor
automatically changes the selected mode to a mode where
a video signal is present.
The input mode may change in the following cases:

- When video play is stopped with a playback device.

The response of the touch screen is slow.
Some parts of the screen do not respond.
A different place is touched
• Is the screen exposed to direct sunlight or other strong
light? The touch panel uses infrared rays and thus may not
operate correctly.
• Is there an obstacle between the infrared transmitter/
receiver and the touch pen or your finger? An obstacle will
prevent correct operation. If your fingers or a sleeve are too
close to the screen, correct operation will not be possible.
• Is the infrared transmitter/receiver dirty? Gently wipe off
any dirt with a soft cloth.
• If the touch panel is touched with a small tip less than about
3/16 inch (5.5 mm) x 3/16 inch (5.5 mm), the touch may not
be detected by infrared and correct operation will not take
place.
• When starting your computer or connecting the USB cable,
do not touch the touch panel. If you touch the touch panel,
this may be detected as an element failure in the infrared
transmitter/receiver and incorrect operation will result.
Power LED flashes red.
“STATUS [xxxx]” appears in the corner of the screen.
• Hardware has a problem. Turn off the monitor and request
repair from your SHARP dealer.
(When STATUS ALERT is set to OSD & LED. This varies
depending on the setting.)
