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.  
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 product, please read the following  
precautions carefully before using the product.  
1. Read instructions — All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is  
operated.  
2. Keep this manual in a safe place — These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe  
place for future reference.  
3. Observe warnings — All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.  
4. Follow instructions — All operating instructions must be followed.  
5. 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.  
6. Attachments — Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate  
attachments can result in accidents.  
7. 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.  
8. 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 dam-  
age to the product.  
9. 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. 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.  
10. Power cord protection — The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people  
from stepping on them or objects from resting on them.  
11. 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.  
12. Overloading — Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric  
shock.  
13. 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.  
14. 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.  
15. 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.

TIPS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
- The TFT color 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 colors  
or brightness. Please note that these are not  
malfunctions but common phenomena of LCDs  
and will not affect the performance of the moni-  
tor.  
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 fire 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 fire as a  
result of overheating.  
- Do not display the same image on the screen  
for a long period of time, as this may cause an  
afterimage to remain.  
- Do not remove or insert the power plug with wet  
hands. Doing so could result in electric shock.  
- The quality of the computer signal may influ-  
ence the quality of the display. We recommend  
using a computer 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 recognized under law.  
Manual Scope  
- In this manual, Microsoft Windows XP will be  
referred to as “Windows XP”, and Microsoft  
Windows 2000 as “Windows 2000”.  
When there is no need to distinguish between  
programs, the term “Windows” will be used.  
- Microsoft and Windows are registered trade-  
marks of Microsoft Corporation.  
- All other brand and product names are trade-  
marks or registered trademarks of their respec-  
tive holders.  
- This monitor and its accessories may be up-  
graded without advance notice.  
- Language of OSD menu used in this manual is  
English by way of example.  
- 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  
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 in places where the monitor will be  
subject to direct sunlight, near heating equip-  
ment or anywhere else where there is likelihood  
of high temperature, as this may lead to genera-  
tion of excessive heat and outbreak of fire.  
- Illustrations in this manual may not exactly  
represent the actual product or display.  
Fluorescent Tubes  
● The fluorescent tubes in this product have a  
limited lifetime.  
* If the screen gets dark, flashes, or does not turn on,  
change the fluorescent tubes with new exclusive ones.  
* For more information, please contact your product  
dealer.  
● Because of the property of fluorescent tubes,  
the screen may flash during the initial period of  
use. If this happens, please turn off the main  
power switch on the top of the monitor and turn  
on again to confirm operation.

• Using this monitor’s screen size switching function to compress or expand the screen for commercial or  
public viewing in establishments like cafes or hotels may infringe on the rights of the creators, as  
protected by Copyright Law, so please be careful.  
• When set to “Enlarge” (i.e. with a “2 x 2” or “3 x 3” setting), the screen size is fixed in “WIDE” mode.  
• When using the screen size selection function of this monitor, the appearance of the original video may  
change if you select a screen size with a different aspect ratio than the original image (i.e. TV broadcast  
or video input from external equipment). Please consider this point when selecting the screen size.  
• When an ordinary non-wide image (4:3) is viewed with the whole screen using the screen size switching  
function of this monitor, the edge of the image may be lost or appear distorted. If you wish to respect the

Next, connect RS-232C straight cable to the first monitor’s RS-232C output terminal and to the  
second monitor’s RS-232C input terminal. Connect in the same way to the third and subsequent  
monitors. The number of connectable monitors varies depending on the length of the cable used and  
the surrounding environment.

Communication procedure  
Basic operation  
<Command format>  
When a command is sent from the PC to the monitor, the monitor operates according to the received  
command, and sends a response message to the PC.  
Carriage return code

Parameter field  
(4 character string  
comprised of:

* Be sure to input 4 characters for the parameter. Pad with spaces if necessary.  
✕ VOLM30  
● VOLM  
30  
(“ ” indicates a space. “ ” is the carriage return code (0DH, 0AH or 0DH).)  
If a command has “R” listed for “DIRECTION” in the “RS-232C Command table” on page 52, the current  
value can be returned by using “?” as the parameter.  
Example: 1. If an ID number has not been set:  
VOLM???? ← From PC to monitor (Current volume setting: ?)  
30  
← From monitor to PC (Current volume setting: 30)  
2. If an ID number has been assigned (For example, ID number = 001)  
VOLM

Advanced operation  
This section explains commands for daisy chain connection. The basic communication procedure is the  
same as in the “Basic operation” section.  
<ID numbers>  
You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor (see page 34). This allows you to control a particular  
monitor in a daisy chain of monitors.  
Up to about 20 monitors can be connected, depending on the length of RS-232C cables and installation  
environment.  
You can assign ID numbers either from the menu screen (via remote control or the control buttons on the  
monitor) or from the PC using RS-232C cable.  
[Example]  
PC  
ID number: 1  
ID number: 2  
ID number: 3  
ID number: 4  
If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute commands like “Set the volume of the  
monitor with ID 4 to 20”.  
When controlling monitors linked in a daisy chain by designating ID numbers, you should basically avoid  
any duplication of ID numbers.  
If the same ID number is assigned to multiple monitors, only the monitor closest to the PC can be con-  
trolled with that ID number.  
If monitors are connected as shown below, only the monitor (1) can be accessed with ID number 2.  
Monitor (2) cannot be controlled using that ID number.  
[Example]  
PC  
ID number: 1  
ID number: 2  
(1)  
ID number: 2  
(2)  
ID number: 3  
ID numbers do not have to be assigned in ascending order starting from the PC. They can also be con-  
nected as shown below.  
[Example]  
PC  
ID number: 3  
ID number: 2  
ID number: 4  
ID number: 1

PC Operation (Continued)  
<Commands for ID control>  
The command examples shown on this page assume the following connection and ID number set up.  
PC  
ID number: 1  
ID number: 2  
ID number: 3  
ID number: 4  
IDST......A monitor receiving this command sets its own ID number in the parameter field.  
Example: IDST0001  
OK_001 ← The ID number of this monitor is set to 1.  
Note  
After linking monitors, you can automatically assign ID numbers by using the IDST command with  
the Repeater control (see “Repeater control” on page 49).  
[Example]  
PC  
Set 1  
Set 2  
Set 3  
Set 4  
If you connect monitors as shown above, and use the command “IDST001+”, ID numbers will be set  
automatically, as shown below.  
[Example]  
PC  
ID number: 1  
ID number: 2  
ID number: 3  
ID number: 4  
IDST001+ ← ID setting command with repeater control  
WAIT  
OK 001 ← ID = “OK” response from ID number=1  
OK 002 ← ID = “OK” response from ID number=2  
OK 003 ← ID = “OK” response from ID number=3  
OK 004 ← ID = “OK” response from ID number=4 (End)  
E
42  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
IDSL.......The parameter of this command sets the ID number indicating the monitor subject to the  
next command.  
Example:  
IDSL0002  
WAIT  
OK_002  
← The next command is for the monitor with ID number=2.  
← Searching for monitor with ID number=2  
← Found monitor with ID number=2  
VOLM0030 ← Sets volume of monitor with ID number=2 to 30.  
WAIT  
← Processing  
OK_002  
← OK response from monitor with ID number=2  
The IDSL command is  
effective only once, for the  
immediately succeeding  
command.  
VOLM0020 ← Sets volume to 20.  
OK_001 ← The volume of the monitor with ID number=1  
(the one directly connected to the PC) is set to 20.  
IDLK.......The parameter of this command sets the ID number indicating the monitor subject to all  
subsequent commands.  
Example:  
IDLK0002  
WAIT  
← Following commands are for the monitor whose ID number is “2”.  
← Searching for monitor with ID number=2  
OK_002  
← Found monitor with ID number=2  
VOLM0030 ← Sets volume of monitor with ID number=2 to 30.  
WAIT  
OK_002  
← Processing  
The IDLK command remains  
effective until it is canceled, or  
power is shut off.  
VOLM0020 ← Sets volume of monitor with ID number=2 to 20.  
WAIT  
OK_002  
IDLK0000  
WAIT  
← Canceling ID number setting  
← Canceling IDLK  
OK_002  
VOLM0010  
OK_001  
← Cancelation complete  
← The volume of the monitor with ID number=1  
(the one directly connected to the PC) is set to 10.  
IDCK ......Provides screen display of the ID number currently assigned to a monitor, and the ID num-  
ber currently set for IDLK (if any).  
Example:  
(After executing IDLK0002)  
IDCK0000  
← (Parameter has no meaning.)  
ID:001 IDLK:002 ← Returned response. The ID number is also displayed on the monitor screen.  
IDCK000+  
← Repeater control  
(If a command is used with repeater control, ID designation using IDSL or  
IDLK is canceled.)  
WAIT  
ID:001 IDLK:002  
ID:002 IDLK:002  
ID:003 IDLK:002

PC Operation (Continued)  
<Repeater control>  
This system has a function to allow setting of multiple monitors connected in a daisy chain using a  
single command. This function is called repeater control.  
The number of connectable monitors varies depending on the length of the cable used and the surround-  
ing environment.  
You can use Repeater control function without assigning ID numbers.  
[Example]  
PC  
Set 1  
Set 2  
Set 3  
Set 4  
If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute a command like “Set all monitors’ input  
settings to INPUT1”.  
<Repeater control command>  
Repeater control is achieved by setting the FOURTH CHARACTER of the parameter to “+”.  
Example:  
VOLM030+ ← Sets volume of all monitors to 30.  
In repeater control, responses are returned by all the connected monitors.*  
If you want to determine that a value has been returned by a specific set, assign ID numbers to  
each monitor in advance.  
If no response is returned, this may be because the monitor has not received (or is still processing)  
the command, so it is possible that new commands may not be executed even if they  
are sent.  
* If power is turned “OFF” using Repeater control, only the monitor closest to the PC returns a re-  
sponse.  
Example:  
(When 4 monitors are connected, and assigned ID numbers 1 through 4)  
VOLM030+  
WAIT  
OK_001  
OK_002  
OK_003  
OK_004  
← If 4 monitors are connected in a chain, reliable operation can be ensured by sending  
a new command only after a reply has been returned by 4th (last) monitor.  
Repeater control can also be used for reading settings.  
Example:  
VOLM???+  
WAIT  
10 001  
20 002  
30 003  
40 004  
Volume settings for all monitors are returned.  
• If repeater control is used during ID designation (IDSL, IDLK), the ID designation is canceled.

■ Warning when temperature rises  
Nature of warning:  
• The power LED lights up red and the monitor enters standby mode.  
Solution:  
• If the monitor enters standby mode due to a rise in temperature, you can turn off the main power  
switch and turn it back on again. However the monitor will enter standby mode again if the cause of  
the temperature rise is not eliminated.  
• Check whether the monitor is placed at a location where a quick rise in temperature is likely. Internal  
temperature rises quickly if the vents on the back are blocked.  
• Internal temperature rises quickly if dust accumulates inside the monitor or around the vents.  
Remove dust if possible. Ask your dealer about removing internal dust.  
• If the power LED blinks red, there might be a problem with the fan.  
Cracking sound  
The monitor sometimes makes a cracking sound.  
• You may hear cracking sound from the monitor. This happens  
when the cabinet slightly expands and contracts according to  
change in temperature. This does not affect the monitor’s  
performance.

■ DDC (plug and play)  
The monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data Channel) standard.  
DDC is a signal standard for plug and play between monitors and computers. Information about resolu-  
tion and other parameters is exchanged between the two. This function can be used if the computer  
supports DDC and it has been configured to detect plug-and-play monitors.  
There are several types of DDC, depending on the communication method used. This monitor supports  
DDC2B.
