IMPORTANT NOTICE
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with
a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of
the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug
and if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to
BS1362 of the same rating must be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover removed.
If the cover is detachable and a replacement is
required, it must be of the same colour as the fuse
tted in the plug. Replacement covers are
available from your dealer. If the tted plug is not
suitable for the power points in your house or the
cable is not long enough to reach a power point,
you should obtain a suitable safety approved
extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.

However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the
plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of
the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains
socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the
bared exible cord. Never attempt to insert bare
wires directly into a mains socket. A plug and fuse
must be used at all times.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:– BLUE =
NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE As these colours may not
correspond to the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:– The
wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the
terminal marked with the letter N or coloured
BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must
be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

• 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.
