A detailed User’s Manual is built into your TV. For more information about how to view this e-Manual, see page 16.

Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing
See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.
✎
Wide screen format LED Displays (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screen format full-motion video.
The images displayed on them should primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to fill the screen if your model offers this feature and
the images are constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark sidebars on non- expanded standard format
television video and programming, should be limited to no more than 5% of the total television viewing per week. Additionally, viewing other stationary
images and text such as stock market reports, video game displays, station logos, web sites or computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as
described above for all televisions. Displaying stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of LED Displays that leave
subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the LED picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving
images, not stationary patterns or dark bars. On LED models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to view different formats as a full screen
picture. Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats you use for viewing. Uneven LED aging as a result of format selection and use, as well
as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

Still image warning
Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture files) or still image elements (such as TV channel logos, panorama or 4:3 image format, stock
or news bars at screen bottom etc.) on the screen. Constant displaying of still pictures can cause ghosting of LED screen, which will affect image
quality. To reduce risk of this effect, please follow below recommendations:
t Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.
t Always try to display any image on full screen, use TV set picture format menu for best possible match.
t Reduce brightness and contrast values to minimum required to achieve desired picture quality, exceeded values may speed up the burnout process.
t Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burnout, refer to proper user manual section for details.
Providing Proper Ventilation for Your TV

Connecting to a Network
You can connect your TV to your local area network (LAN) using a wired or wireless connection.
✎
After you have “physically” connected your TV to your network, you must configure the network connection to complete
the process. You can configure the connection during the Initial Setup process (see page 10 ) or after the Initial Setup
process, through the T V’s menu (see page 15).
The Wireless Network Connection
You can connect your TV to your LAN through a standard wireless router or modem. To connect wirelessly, you must first
attach a “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter” (WIS09ABGNX, WIS12ABGNX - sold separately) to the
your TV. See the illustration below.
USB port on the side of
The LAN Port on the Wall
LAN Cable (Not Supplied)
Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately and is offered by select retailers, E-commerce sites, and Samsungparts.
com. Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11a/b/g and n communication protocols. Samsung
recommends using IEEE 802.11n. When you play video over a network connection using one of the other protocols, the video
may not play smoothly.
Wireless Security
Most wireless network systems incorporate a security system that requires devices that access the network through an access
point or AP (typically a wireless router or modem) to transmit an encrypted security code called an access key.
Your TV is compatible with the following security protocols:
If you select Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode and the Encryption type is set to WEP or TKIP on your AP or
wireless router, your TV will not support a connection, in compliance with new Wi-Fi certification specifications.
