NOTES
• If the main unit is powered off, the wireless subwoofer will go into stand-by mode and the
STANDBY LED on the rear of the sub-woofer will turn red after blinking in 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 main unit’s wireless signal is about 10 m, 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.
See the contact information for
the Samsung Service Centre in
this manual.
CAUTION
• Wireless receiving antennas are built into the wireless subwoofer. Keep the unit away from water
and moisture.
• For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless subwoofer and the
