NOTES

•• Do not connect the power cord of this product or your TV to a wall outlet until all connections between components are complete.

•• Before moving or installing this product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

•• If the main unit is powered off, the wireless subwoofer will go into stand-by mode and the STANDBY LED on the rear 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 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 unit away from water and moisture.

•• For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless subwoofer and the Wireless Receiver Module (sold separately) is clear of any obstructions.

Connecting an SWA-8500S (Sold Separately) to your Soundbar

Expand to true wireless surround sound by connecting the Samsung Wireless Rear Speaker Kit (SWA-8500S, sold separately) to your Soundbar.

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.

––Itissubjecttoelectricalvariationfromobstructionscausedbyawall,corner,orofficepartition.

––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.
