Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing.

Mounting the TV on a wall
If you mount this TV on a wall, follow the instructions exactly as set out by the manufacturer. If it is not correctly mounted, the TV may slide or fall and cause serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to the TV.

Samsung Electronics is not responsible for any damage to the product or injury to yourself or others if you choose to install the wall mount on your own.
Samsung is not liable for product damage or personal injury when a non-specified wall mount is used or when the consumer fails to follow the product installation instructions.
You can install your wall mount on a solid wall perpendicular to the floor. Before attaching the wall mount to surfaces other than plaster board, contact your nearest dealer for additional information. If you install the TV on a ceiling or slanted wall, it may fall and result in severe personal injury.
Do not install your wall mount kit while your TV is turned on. This may result in personal injury from electric shock.

Providing proper ventilation for your TV

When you install your TV and One Connect Box, maintain a distance of at least 4 inches (10 cm) between the One Connect Box with other objects (walls, cabinet sides, etc.) to ensure proper ventilation. Failing to maintain proper ventilation may result in a fire or a problem with the product caused by an increase in its internal temperature.
When you install your TV with a stand or a wall mount, we strongly recommend you use parts provided by Samsung Electronics only. Using parts provided by another manufacturer may cause difficulties with the product or result in injury caused by the product falling.

Safety Precaution
Caution: Pulling, pushing, or climbing on the TV may cause the TV to fall. In particular, ensure your children do not hang on or destabilize the TV. This action may cause the TV to tip over, causing serious injuries or death. Follow all safety precautions provided in the Safety Flyer included with your TV. For added stability and safety, you can purchase and install the anti-tip device, referring to “Preventing the TV from falling.”
WARNING: Never place a television set in an unstable location. The television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

Always use cabinets or stands or mounting methods recommended by Samsung.
Always use furniture that can safely support the television set.
Always ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
Always educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
Always route cords and cables connected to your television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
Never place a television set in an unstable location.
Never 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.
Never place the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.
Never place items that might tempt children to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the television or furniture on which the television is placed.
If the existing television set is going to be retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.
When installed on a stand, the display of this product is tilted slightly backward and its angle cannot be adjusted.
If any object is placed on the stand or the floor is tilted, the product may fall over, which causes malfunction or personal injury.

Preventing the TV from falling

Using the appropriate screws, firmly fasten a set of brackets to the wall. Confirm that the screws are firmly attached to the wall.
You may need additional material such as wall anchors depending on the type of wall.
Using the appropriately sized screws, firmly fasten a set of brackets to the TV.
For the screw specifications, refer to the Screw part in the table on the Unpacking and Installation Guide.
Connect the brackets fixed to the TV and the brackets fixed to the wall with a durable, heavy-duty string, and then tie the string tightly.
- Install the TV near the wall so that it does not fall backwards.
- Connect the string so that the brackets fixed to the wall are at the same height as or lower than the brackets fixed to the TV.

Operation

This apparatus uses batteries. In your community, there might be environmental regulations that require you to dispose of these batteries properly. Please contact your local authorities for disposal or recycling information.
Store the accessories (remote control, or etc.) in a location safely out of the reach of children.
Do not drop or strike the product. If the product is damaged, disconnect the power cord and contact a Samsung service center.
Do not dispose of remote control or batteries in a fire.

Caring for the TV

To clean this apparatus, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and wipe the product with a soft, dry cloth.

Internet security

Samsung takes a number of steps to protect its Internet-compatible Smart TVs against unauthorized incursions and hacking. For example, certain sensitive communications between the TV and the Internet servers are encrypted. In addition, the TV’s operating system has adopted controls to prevent the installation of unauthorized applications.
Although we take steps to protect your Smart TV and personal information, no Internet-connected device or transmission is completely secure. We therefore encourage you to take additional steps to safeguard your TV, secure your Internet connection, and minimize the risk of unauthorized access. These steps are listed below:

When Samsung releases software updates to improve the security of your TV, you should promptly install these updates. To automatically receive these updates, turn on Auto Update in the TV’s menu ( > (left directional button) > Settings > Support > Software Update > Auto Update). When an update is available, a popup message appears on the TV screen. Accept the software download and update by selecting Yes when prompted. Take steps to secure your wireless access point and network. Your access point’s manual should provide additional details about how to implement the following measures:
Secure your wireless access point’s management settings with a unique password to prevent unauthorized changes to security related settings.
Implement standard encryption (e.g., WPA2 encryption) on your wireless access point to secure your wireless network signal.
Secure access to your wireless network with a hard-to-guess password.
Confirm your access point’s firewall setting is enabled (if so equipped).
Make sure that all your Internet-connected devices are behind your network’s firewall.
If your access point or modem has a standby mode button, use it to disconnect your home network from the Internet when it is not in use.
Use strong passwords for all your Internet accounts (Netflix, Facebook, etc.).
If any unexpected messages appear on your TV screen requesting permission to link a device or enable a remote session, do NOT accept.
Do not visit suspicious websites and do not install any suspicious programs. We recommend that users install only those authorized apps provided by Samsung through Samsung Smart Hub.
