• Never insert anything metallic into the open parts of this apparatus. This may cause electric shock.

• To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of this apparatus. Only a qualified technician should open this apparatus.

• If this apparatus does not operate normally – in particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it – unplug it immediately and contact an authorized dealer or Samsung service center.

• To protect this apparatus from a lightning storm, or to leave it unattended and unused for a long time, be sure to unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.

• Accumulated dust can cause an electric shock, an electric leakage, or a fire by causing the power cord to generate sparks and heat or by causing the insulation to deteriorate.

• Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing.

Providing proper ventilation for your TV

When you install your TV, maintain a distance of at least 4 inches (10 cm) between the TV and 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 without a stand, 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, 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.

WARNING: Never place a television set in an unstable location. The television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries 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 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 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 you have to relocate or lift the TV for replacement or cleaning, be sure not to pull out the stand.

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.
