• If the main unit is powered off, the wireless subwoofer will go into stand-by mode and the
STANDBY LED on the rear will be Red after blinking Blue several times.
• If you use a device that uses the same frequency (5.8GHz) as the Soundbar near the Soundbar,
interference may cause some sound interruption.
• The maximum transmission distance of the wireless signal of the main unit is about 10 meters, but
may vary depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete or metallic wall is between
the main unit and the wireless subwoofer the system may not operate at all, because the wireless
signal cannot penetrate metal.
PRECAUTIONS
• Wireless receiving antennas are built into the wireless subwoofer. Keep the units away from water
and moisture.
• For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless subwoofer and
Wireless Receiver Module (Sold separately) location is clear of any obstructions.
Expand to true wireless surround sound by connecting the Samsung Wireless Rear Speaker
Kit (SWA-8500S) to your Soundbar (Sold separately). For more information, see the
Samsung Wireless Rear Speaker Kit manual.

More About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetooth-compliant devices to interconnect easily with each
other using a short wireless connection.
• A Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, if:
– A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth
device or the Soundbar.
– It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or ofce partition.
– It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical
equipment, microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.
• Pair the Soundbar with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.
• The further the distance between the Soundbar and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is.
If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.
• In poor reception areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.
• The Bluetooth connection only works when it is close to the unit. The connection will be
automatically cut off if the Bluetooth device is out of range. Even within range, the sound quality
may be degraded by obstacles such as walls or doors.
• This wireless device may cause electric interference during its operation.
