Tips and safety precautions  
The Power Cord  
-
-
Under certain display conditions, minute specks  
or spots may be noticeable.This is common for  
liquid crystal monitors and is not a malfunction.  
The LCD panel has been manufactured using  
highly elaborate technology. Properly working  
pixels comprise 99.99% of total pixels. However,  
please understand that 0.01% or less of pixels  
may be missing or be brighter than usual.  
Do not leave the screen displaying idly for long  
periods of time, as this could cause afterimage to  
remain.  
-
Do not damage the power cord nor place heavy  
objects on it, stretch it or overly bend it. Also, do  
not add extension cords. Damage to the cord  
may result in fire or electric shock.  
-
-
Use only the AC adapter supplied with the  
monitor. Using an AC adapter other than that  
supplied may lead to fire.  
Insert the power plug directly into the AC outlet.  
Adding an extension cord may lead to fire as a  
result of overheating  
-
-
-
If the brightness is adjusted to the minimum set-  
ting it may be difficult to see the screen.  
The quality of the computer signal may influence  
the quality of the display.We recommend using a  
computer able to emit 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.

Monitor care and repair  
Troubleshooting  
Monitor care  
If you think the monitor may be faulty, please check  
the following points before taking it to be repaired.  
If afterwards it still does not work, please contact the  
shop where you purchased the monitor or your  
nearest Sharp authorized Service Center.  
Always remove the plug from the AC outlet when  
cleaning the monitor.  
Cabinet and control panel section  
Use a soft dry cloth to lightly wipe away any grime  
from the cabinet and control panel.  
If they are very dirty, apply neutral detergent to a  
dampened soft cloth, wring it out well and wipe away  
grime.  
The monitor's florescent tubes have a limited life  
span.  
-
If the screen darkens, persistently flickers or  
does not light up, it may be necessary to  
replace the florescent tube unit. Please  
inquire at the shop where you purchased the  
monitor or your nearest Sharp authorized  
Service Center. (Never attempt this

-
In the initial period of use, due to the  
characteristics of florescent tubes the screen  
may flicker. (This is not a malfunction.)  
Should this happen, check by first turning off  
the power, then turning it on again.  
-
Never use thinner, benzine, alcohol, glass  
cleaner, etc, as this could lead to color change or  
change in shape.  
Never scratch the monitor with anything hard or  
apply strong pressure as this could leave marks  
or result in malfunction.

Specifications  
Standards and compatibility  
DDC (Plug & Play)  
Power management  
The monitor is based on VESA DPMS (Display  
This monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data  
Channel) standard.  
Power Management Signaling).  
DDC is a signal standard for carrying out Plug &  
Play functions on the monitor or PC. It transfers  
information such as degree of resolution between  
the monitor and PC.You can use this function if your  
PC is DDC compliant and if it is set so that it can  
detect the Plug & Play monitor.  
To activate the monitor's Power Management func-  
tion, both the video card and the computer must  
conform to the VESA DPMS standard.  
There are many varieties of DDC due to the differ-  
ences between systems.This monitor works with  
DDC1 and DDC2B.
