For more information on how to use e-Manual (P. 10)

Figures and illustrations in this User Manual are provided for reference only and may differ from actual product appearance. Product design
and specifications may be changed without notice.

User Instructions

• Screen Image retention

Do not display a still image (such as on a video game) on the plasma display panel for more than several minutes as it can cause screen image
retention. This image retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the
screen when displaying a still image.

• Heat on the top of the Plasma TV

The top side of the product may be hot after long periods of use as heat dissipates from the panel through the vent hole in the upper part of the
product.
This is normal and does not indicate any defect or operation failure of the product.
However, children should be prevented from touching the upper part of the product.

• The product is making a “cracking” noise.

A “cracking” noise may occur when the product contracts or expands due to a change in the surrounding environment such as temperature or
humidity. This is normal and not a defect of the unit.

• Cell Defects

The PDP uses a panel consisting of 2,360,000(HD-level) to 6,221,000(FHD-level) pixels which require sophisticated technology to produce. However,
there may be a few bright or dark pixels on the screen. These pixels will have no impact on the performance of the product.

• Avoid operating the TV at temperatures below 41°F (5°C)

• A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Panel.

Watching the Plasma TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the left, right and centre
of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen. Playing a DVD or a game console may cause similar effects
to the screen.

• After-images on the Screen.

Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images.
To prevent this effect, reduce the “brightness” and “contrast” when displaying still images for a long time.

• Warranty

Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.

Securing the Installation Space

Keep the required distances between the product and other objects (e.g. walls) to ensure proper ventilation.
Failing to do so may result in fire or a problem with the product due to an increase in the internal temperature of the product.

✎

When using a stand or wall-mount, use par ts provided by Samsung Electronics only.

If you use parts provided by another manufacturer, it may result in a problem with the product or an injury due to the product

Network Connection

Network Connection - Wireless (Australia and New Zealand)

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” (WIS12ABGNX, WIS09ABGNX - sold separately) to either the USB port on the side
of your TV. See the illustration below.

LAN Cable

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately and is offered by select retailers and Ecommerce sites. 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, the video may not be played smoothly.
Most wireless network systems incorporate a security system that requires devices that access the network through an access

point or wireless router (typically a wireless IP Sharer) to transmit an encrypted security code called an access key.
If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode is selected and the Encryption type is set to WEP or TKIP for your wireless

router, Samsung TVs will not support a connection in compliance with new Wi-Fi certification specifications.

Securing the TV to the Wall

Caution: Pulling, pushing, or climbing onto the
TV may cause the TV to fall. In particular, ensure
that your children do not hang over or destabilize
the TV; doing so may cause the TV to tip over,
resulting in serious injuries or death. Follow all
safety precautions provided on the included Safety
Flyer. For added stability, install the anti-fall device
for safety purposes, as follows.

To avoid the TV from falling

1. Put the screws into the clamps and firmly fasten them

onto the wall. Confirm that the screws have been firmly
installed onto the wall.

✎

You may need additional material such as an anchor
depending on the t ype of wall.

✎

Since the necessary clamps, screws, and string are not
supplied, please purchase these additionally.

2. Remove the screws from the centre back of the TV, put
the screws into the clamps, and then fasten the screws
onto the TV again.

✎

Screws may not be supplied with the product. In this
case, please purchase the screws of the following

specifications.

3. Connect the clamps fixed onto the TV and the clamps
fixed onto the wall with a strong string and then tie the
string tightly.

✎

NOTE

Install the TV near to the wall so that it does not fall

x

backwards.

It is safe to connect the string so that the clamps fixed

x

on the wall are equal to or lower than the clamps fixed
on the TV.

Untie the string before moving the TV.

x

4. Verify all connections are properly secured. Periodically
check connections for any sign of fatigue for failure.
If you have any doubt about the security of your
connections, contact a professional installer.
