Internet security

Samsung takes a number of steps to protect its Internet-compatible Smart TVs against unauthorized incursions and
hacking. For example, certain sensitive communications between the TV and the Internet servers are encrypted. In
addition, the TV’s operating system has adopted controls to prevent the installation of unauthorized applications.
Although we take steps to protect your Smart TV and personal information, no Internet-connected device or
transmission is completely secure. We therefore encourage you to take additional steps to safeguard your TV, secure
your Internet connection, and minimize the risk of unauthorized access. These steps are listed below:

• When Samsung releases software updates to improve the security of your TV, you should promptly install these
updates. To automatically receive these updates, turn on Auto Update in the TV's menu (
Support > Software Update > Auto Update). When an update is available, a popup message appears on the TV
screen. Accept the software download and update by selecting Yes when prompted. Take steps to secure your
wireless access point and network. Your access point's manual should provide additional details about how to
implement the following measures:

– Secure your wireless access point's management settings with a unique password to prevent unauthorized

changes to security related settings.

– Implement standard encryption (e.g., WPA2 encryption) on your wireless access point to secure your wireless

network signal.
– Secure access to your wireless network with a hard-to-guess password.
– Confirm your access point's firewall setting is enabled (if so equipped).
– Make sure that all your Internet-connected devices are behind your network's firewall.
– If your access point or modem has a standby mode button, use it to disconnect your home network from the

Internet when it is not in use.

• Use strong passwords for all your Internet accounts (Netflix, Facebook, etc.). If your TV has a camera, recess the
camera into the TV's bezel when it is not in use. Recessing the camera makes it inoperative.

• If any unexpected messages appear on your TV screen requesting permission to link a device or enable a remote
session, do NOT accept.

• Do not visit suspicious web sites and do not install any suspicious programs. We recommend that users install only
those authorized apps provided by Samsung through Samsung Smart Hub.

cabinet sides, etc.) to ensure proper ventilation. Failing to maintain proper ventilation may result in a fire or a problem
with the product caused by an increase in its internal temperature.

• When you install your TV with a stand or a without a stand, we strongly recommend you use parts provided by

Safety Precaution: Securing the TV to the wall to prevent falling

Caution: Pulling, pushing, or climbing on the TV may cause the TV to fall. In particular, ensure

your children do not hang on or destabilize the TV. This action may cause the TV to tip over,
causing serious injuries or death. Follow all safety precautions provided in the Safety Flyer
included with your TV.

WARNING: Never place a television set in an unstable location. The television set may fall, causing serious
personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions
such as:

• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.

• Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.

• Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

• Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring
both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.

• Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set
and supporting furniture.

• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.

If you are retaining and relocating the television set that you are replacing with this new set, you should
apply the same precautions to the old set.
