Installing the Wall Mount Kit

The wall mount kit (sold separately) allows you to mount the TV on the wall.

For detailed information on installing the wall mount, see the instructions provided with the wall mount items. Contact a technician for assistance when installing the wall mount bracket. Samsung Electronics is not responsible for any damage to the product or injury to yourself or others if you elect to install the wall mount on your own.

Wall Mount Kit Speciﬁcations (VESA)

✎ The wall mount kit is not supplied, but sold separately.

Install your wall mount on a solid wall perpendicular to the ﬂoor. When attaching to other building materials, please contact your nearest dealer. If you install the TV on a ceiling or slanted wall, it may fall and result in severe personal injury.

✎ NOTE

x Standard dimensions for wall mount kits are shown in the table

below.

x When purchasing our wall mount kit, a detailed installation manual

and all parts necessary for assembly are provided.

x Do not use screws that do not comply with the VESA standard

screw specifications.

x Do not use screws that are longer than the standard dimension

or do not comply with the VESA standard screw specifications. Screws that are too long may cause damage to the inside of the TV set.

x For wall mounts that do not comply with the VESA standard screw

specifications, the length of the screws may differ depending on

the wall mount specifications.

x Do not fasten the screws too firmly. This may damage the product

or cause the product to fall, leading to personal injury. Samsung is not liable for these kinds of accidents.

x Samsung is not liable for product damage or personal injury when

a non-VESA or non-specified wall mount is used or the consumer fails to follow the product installation instructions.

x Do not mount the TV at more than a 15 degree tilt. x Always have two people mount the TV on a wall.

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 prevent the TV from falling

✎ Since the necessary clamps, screws, and string are not supplied,

please purchase these additionally.

1. Drive the screws into the clamps and ﬁrmly fasten them onto the wall.

Make sure the screws are ﬁrmly ﬁxed into the wall.

2. Remove the screws from the back center of the TV, put the screws

into the clamps, and then fasten the screws onto the TV again.

3. Connect the clamps ﬁxed onto the TV and the clamps ﬁxed onto the

wall with a strong cable and then tie the string tightly.

✎ Verify all connections are properly secured. Periodically check the

connections for any sign of fatigue or failure. If you have any doubt about the security of your connections, contact a professional installer.

✎ Install the TV close to the wall so that it does not fall. ✎ It is safe to connect the string so that the clamps fixed on the wall

are equal to or lower than the clamps fixed on the TV. Untie the string before moving the TV.
