cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service  
life of this product, please read the following precautions carefully  
before use.  
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at  
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from  
the apparatus.  
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.  
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table  
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.  
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/  
apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.  
1) Read these instructions.  
2) Keep these instructions.  
3) Heed all warnings.  
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)  
18) Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall  
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under  
the following conditions :  
23) Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system  
is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is  
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges  
and built-up static charges. Article810 of the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regards to proper grounding  
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to  
an antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and  
requirements for the grounding electrode.  
a) When the AC cord or plug is damaged,  
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the  
product,  
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,  
d) If the product does not operate normally by following  
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls  
that are covered by the operating instructions as an  
improper adjustment of other controls may result in  
damage and will often require extensive work by a  
qualified technician to restore the product to its normal  
operation,  
Example of antenna grounding as per  
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

24) Protective Attachment Plug - The product is equipped with an attachment  
plug having overload protection. This is a safety feature. See Instruction  
Manual for replacement or resetting of protective device. If replacement  
of the plug is required, be sure the service technician has used a replace-  
ment plug specified by the manufacturer that has the same overload  
protection as the original plug.  
20) Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this  
product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to  
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.  
21) Wall or ceiling mounting - When mounting the product on a wall  
or ceiling, be sure to install the product according to the method  
recommended by the manufacturer.  
25) 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 damage to the product.  
Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the  
manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a  
wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer's intructions. Use only the mounting

Precautions  
General  
Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from  
vibration.  
Hold the AC power plug by the head when  
removing it from the AC outlet, as pulling  
the cord can damage internal wires.  
The AC power plug is used as disconnect  
device and shall always remain readily  
operable.  
Do not remove the outer cover, as  
this may result in electric shock. Re-  
fer internal service to your local  
SHARP service facility.  
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight,  
strong magnetic fields, excessive dust,  
humidity and electronic/electrical equip-  
ment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.)  
which generate electrical noise.  
This unit should only be used within the range of 41˚F - 95˚F  
(5˚C - 35˚C).  
Do not place anything on top of the unit.  
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than  
140˚F (60˚C) or to extremely low temperatures.  
If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power  
cord from the AC outlet. Plug the AC power cord back in, and then  
turn on your system.  
In case of an electrical storm, unplug the  
unit for safety.  
Warning:  
The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit.  
Using this product with a higher voltage other than that which is  
specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of  
accident causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible for  
any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than  
that which is specified.  
Volume control  
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker  
efficiency, location and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid  
exposure to high volume levels, which occurs while turning the unit  
on with the volume control setting up high, or while continually  
listening at high volumes.
