STABILITY HAZARD
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.
•  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.

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 it in an environment where there are corrosive gases (sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, chlorine, ammonia, ozone, etc.). As this could lead to a 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 the likelihood of high temperature, as this may lead to the generation of excessive heat and an outbreak of fire.
– 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, an outbreak of fire, or malfunction.
Please request a cleaning of the inside of the monitor from an authorized SHARP servicing dealer or service center.
– The power 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 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.

MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS

• This product is for use indoors.

• When moving the monitor, be sure to hold its sides or bottom. Do not hold the LCD panel or buttons. This may cause product damage, failure, or injury. This may cause
  product damage, failure, or injury.

• Use the monitor with the surface perpendicular to a level surface.

• This monitor should be used at an ambient temperature between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C).
  Provide enough space around the monitor to prevent heat from accumulating inside.

For the monitor in landscape orientation

For the monitor in portrait orientation

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

• 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 that generates heat.

• To install the monitor in portrait orientation, a mounting bracket compliant with VESA specifications is required.
  A stand supplied with this product cannot be used for installation in portrait 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 PORTRAIT/LANDSCAPE INSTALL in the MONITOR menu to PORTRAIT. (See OPERATION MANUAL.)
  – Be sure to clamp the power cord (supplied) onto the cable clamp attachment using the supplied cable clamp. When clamping the power cord, take care not to stress the terminal of the power cord. Do not bend the power cord excessively.

• Do not press the monitor surface. Doing so may cause display unevenness.
• After mounting, please carefully ensure the monitor is secure, and not able to come loose from the wall or mount.
• 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.

• Be sure to use a wall-mount bracket designed or designated for mounting the monitor.

• This monitor and bracket must be installed on a wall that 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.

• Do not use an impact driver.

• Do not use any screw holes other than those for mounting brackets, located on the rear of the monitor, for installation.

Removing the stand
Caution

• If there are cables already connected, disconnect them all.

1. Spread a thick, soft cloth (blanket, etc.) that will prevent damage to the LCD panel on a stable flat surface where the entire monitor can be placed, and place the monitor with the LCD panel face down on the cloth.

2. Remove the screws(x2) that fasten the stand.
   Keep the removed screws in a safe place.

3. Pull out the stand from the monitor.
