Please observe the following safety warnings when handling your SHARP LC-49CFF5221K television:

• Television sets with a 40″ screen size or more must be lifted and carried by at least 2 people.

• This television does not contain any parts that are serviceable by the user. In case of a fault, contact the manufacturer or authorised service department. Exposing the internal parts inside the TV may endanger your life.

• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or damage, do not expose the TV to dust, rain or moisture. Never expose the TV to dripping or splashing and do not place objects filled with liquids on or near the TV.

• Do not connect any external devices (DVD player, games console etc) when the TV is switched on. Disconnect both the TV and device from the mains before connecting.

• Do not place the television in a confined space and do not obstruct the ventilation openings at the rear of the television.

• When installing on a wall, ensure the TV is at least 5cm from the wall for ventilation.

• Always ensure that the TV’s ventilation openings are not covered with items such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.

Never place your SHARP LC-49CFF5221K television set on an unstable location. A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• Use cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.

• Only use furniture that can safely support the television set.

• Ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

• Do not place the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.

• Do not place the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.

• Educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.

• If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.

• For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a fused 3 pin mains plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, ensure that any replacement is of the same amperage and approved with the BSI mark.

• Never use the television if it is damaged in any way.

• Always place the television on a flat level surface avoiding anywhere which may be subject to strong vibration.

• The ideal distance to watch the television is approximately five times the length of the diagonal measurements of the TV screen.

• Ensure the television is not placed on top of the power cable as the weight of the television may damage the cable and cause a safety hazard.

• Never place mobile phones, speakers or any other device which may cause magnetic or radio interference, near the television. If interference is apparent, move the device causing the interference away from the television.

• To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, please use the mains plug located on the underside/rear of the TV.

• Ensure that the mains plug is always easily accessible.

• **WARNING:** Excessive noise when using earphones and headphones can cause loss of hearing.

To clean your SHARP LC-49CFF5221K TV, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped in a soap and water solution or a weak detergent solution. Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzene to clean this unit. Before using a chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that came with the cloth carefully.

CAUTION: If water or other liquid enters the television through the display panel surface, a malfunction may occur.

The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent “shadow image” on the LCD/LED panel, also known as “screen burn”. This “shadow image” can appear in the background during normal viewing. This type of irreversible LCD/LED panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:

1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum suitable viewing level.

2. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.

3. Turn the power off when not in use.

Examples of images that are more likely to cause “screen burn” are as follows:

• TV channel logos: e.g. shopping channel logos and pricing displays – especially if they are bright and stationary.

• Time displays.

• Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for a long period of time.

• TV/DVD menus: e.g. listings of DVD disc content.

• Pause mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode for long periods of time, e.g. when watching DVDs or videos.

Important: Once ‘shadow image/screen burn’ occurs, it will never disappear and is not repairable under warranty.

Please follow these guidelines for battery disposal:

• Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, excessive heat, prolonged sunshine or fire as this may cause leakage, explosion or ignition.

• Observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries.

• Do not use different types of batteries together or mix old and new batteries.

• Dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly way.

• Certain regions may regulate the disposal of batteries. Please consult your local authority.

1. Place the TV set on a flat and clean surface with the panel facing downwards to avoid damage.

2. Fix the stand feet to the underside of the TV. The feet are marked L (left) and R (right).

3. When installed correctly, the stand feet will be angled away from each other at the front of the TV set.

A) Using one or both of the top wall-mounting holes and screws (the screws are already supplied in the wall mounting holes), fasten one end of the fastening cord/s to the TV.

B) Secure the other end of the fastening cord/s to your wall. You will need screws/fixings suitable for your wall type, which are available separately from most DIY stores.

Note: Please ensure that children do not climb on the TV set.

IMPORTANT: Before drilling any holes in the wall, ensure you are not drilling where there could be any electrical wires, water, or gas pipes.

1. Remove the four screws that are supplied in the wall mounting holes on the rear of the TV.

2. The wall mount can now be easily attached to the mounting holes on the rear of the TV.

For VESA wall mounting information, please refer to the Technical Specification for your SHARP LC-49CFF5221K model. For optimum viewing, if wall mounting the TV higher than eye level, the TV should be tilted downwards so that the TV’s screen is ‘face on’.

If you are having trouble receiving digital channels on your SHARP LC-49CFF5221K, please check the following:

1. Check you are in an area that can receive Freeview/Saorview.

2. Check you are using an aerial that is able to receive a good digital signal. In most cases, you will need an outdoor digital hi-gain/wideband aerial. In areas that have excellent digital coverage, you may be able to use a loft type aerial but it is highly likely that you will also need to connect a booster between the back of the TV and the TV aerial wall socket. Unfortunately, to receive a good enough digital signal, it is not possible to use a portable/indoor type aerial.
