DEAR SHARP CUSTOMER

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

MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS

• This product is for use indoors.
• A mounting bracket compliant with VESA specifications 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 orientation

For the monitor in portrait orientation

• If it is difficult to provide sufficient space for any reason such as the installation of the monitor inside a housing, 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.
• 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.
• 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 THERMAL SENSOR SETTING on the SETUP menu to PORTRAIT. (See OPERATION MANUAL.)
  – Be sure to clamp the power cord (supplied) by using the supplied cable clamp (affixing type). When clamping the power cord, take care not to stress the terminal of the power cord. Do not bend the power cord excessively.

Mounting the monitor laying flat on a surface

* When using the monitor laying flat 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 specific mounting conditions. Adhere to the following. Failing to adhere to the following may cause malfunctions.
– Set THERMAL SENSOR SETTING in the SETUP menu to FACE UP or FACE DOWN. (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 difficult to provide sufficient 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.

Mounting Precautions

(For SHARP dealers and service engineers)

• When installing, removing or moving the monitor, ensure that this is carried out by at least 2 people.
• Be sure to use a wall-mount bracket designed or designated for mounting the monitor.
• This monitor is designed to be installed on a concrete wall or pillar. Reinforced work might be necessary for some materials such as plaster / thin plastic board/wood before starting installation.
• 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.
• To attach a VESA-compliant mounting bracket, use M6 screws that are 3/8 inch (10 mm) to 1/2 inch (12 mm) longer than the thickness of the mounting bracket.



• Do not use an impact driver.
• When moving the monitor, be sure to hold it around the periphery. Do not grasp the screen. This may cause product damage, failure, or injury.
• After mounting, please carefully ensure the monitor is secure, and not able to come loose from the wall or mount.
• Do not use any screw holes other than those for mounting brackets, located on the rear of the monitor, for installation.
• When using the monitor laying flat 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 specific mounting conditions.
