Internet security
Samsung takes a number of steps to protect its Internetcompatible 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,
Auto Update
turn on
Software Update
in the TV's menu (
>
Auto Update
Support
). 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 router and network. Your router's
manual should provide additional details about how to
implement the following measures:
– Secure your wireless router's management settings
with a unique password to prevent unauthorized
changes to security related settings.
>
•
•
•
Figures and illustrations in this User Manual are provided
for reference only and may differ from the actual product
appearance. Product design and specifications may
change without notice.
– Implement standard encryption (e.g., WPA2
encryption) on your wireless router to secure your
wireless network signal.
– Secure access to your wireless network with a hard-
to-guess password.
– Confirm your router's firewall setting is enabled (if so
equipped).
– Make sure that all your internet-connected devices
are behind your network's firewall.
– If your router 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, Skype, 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.

Reducing wireless interference
The most common wireless technology, 802.11g (wireless-G), operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. This frequency is widely
used by many cordless phones, microwave ovens, baby monitors, garage doors, and other wireless devices. Reduce
interference by avoiding wireless devices that use the 2.4 GHz frequency. Instead, use devices that communicate via the 5.0
GHz frequency.

Intermittent Wi-Fi
•
Check the distance between the TV and the Modem/Router. The distance should not exceed 50ft (15.2 m).
•
Verify that there are no obstacles between the TV and the Modem/Router.
(The Wi-Fi strength can be decreased by appliances, cordless phones, stone walls/fireplaces, etc.)
•
Check the cable that connects the Modem to the Router (if you use a separate Modem and Router) to see if it is in good
condition. If it is not, replace the cable.

Still image warning
Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture files), still image elements (such as TV channel logos, stock or news crawls
at the screen bottom etc.), or programs in panorama or 4:3 image format on the screen. If you constantly display still pictures,
it can cause image burn-in on the LED screen and affect image quality. To reduce the risk of this adverse effect, please follow
the recommendations below:
•
Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.
•
Always try to display any image in full screen. Use the picture format menu of the TV set for the best possible match.
•
Reduce brightness and contrast to avoid the appearance of after-images.
•
Use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burn. Refer to the e-Manual for details.
Caring for the TV
N If a sticker was attached to the TV screen, some debris can remain after you remove the sticker. Please clean the debris
off before watching TV.
N The exterior and screen of the TV can get scratched during cleaning. Be sure to wipe the exterior and screen carefully
using a soft cloth to prevent scratches.
Do not spray water or any liquid directly onto the TV. Any liquid that goes
into the product may cause a failure, fire, or electric shock.
Turn off the TV, then gently wipe away smudges and fingerprints on the
screen with a micro-fiber cloth. Clean the body of the TV with a soft cloth
dampened with a small amount of water. Do not use flammable liquids
(benzene, thinners, etc.) or a cleaning agent. For stubborn smudges,
spray a small amount of screen cleaner on the cloth, and then use the
cloth to wipe away the smudges.
