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 (
> Settings >
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.
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.

02 TV Installation
Mounting the TV on a wall
If you mount this TV on a wall, follow the instructions exactly as set out by the manufacturer. Unless it is
correctly mounted, the TV may slide or fall and cause serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage
to the TV.
For models providing wall mount adapters, install the adapters as shown in the figure below before installing the wall
mount kit.
• Refer to the installation manual included with the Samsung wall mount kit.

– For the 82 inch model, does not use wall mount adapters.
• Samsung Electronics is not responsible for any damage to the product or injury to yourself or others if you choose
to install the wall mount on your own.
• To order the wall mount kit, contact Samsung Customer Care at 1-800-SAMSUNG (1-800-726-7864).
• You can install your wall mount on a solid wall perpendicular to the floor. Before attaching the wall mount to
surfaces other than plaster board, contact your nearest dealer for additional information. If you install the TV on a
ceiling or slanted wall, it may fall and result in severe personal injury.
• When installing a wall mount kit, we recommend you fasten all four VESA screws.
• If you want to install a wall mount kit that attaches to the wall using two top screws only, be sure to use a Samsung
wall mount kit that supports this type of installation. (You may not be able to purchase this type of wall mount kit,
depending on the geographical region.)
• Standard dimensions for wall mount kits are shown in the table below.
• If you are installing a third-party wall mount, note that the length of the screws you can use to attach the TV to the
wall mount is shown in column C in the table below.

Do not install your wall mount kit while your TV is turned on. This may result in personal injury from electric
shock.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Samsung is not liable for product damage or personal injury when a non-VESA or non-specified wall mount is used
or when the consumer fails to follow the product installation instructions.
• Do not mount the TV at more than a 15 degree tilt.
• Always have two people mount the TV onto a wall.
– For 82 inch or larger models, have four people mount the TV onto a wall.
Providing proper ventilation for your TV
When you install your TV, maintain a distance of at least 4 inches (10 cm) between the TV and other objects (walls,
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 wall mount, we strongly recommend you use parts provided by Samsung
Electronics only. Using parts provided by another manufacturer may cause difficulties with the product or result in
injury caused by the product falling.
English - 9
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. For added stability and safety, you can purchase and install the anti-fall
device as described below.
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.
• When you have to relocate or lift the TV for replacement or cleaning, be sure not to pull out the stand.
Preventing the TV from falling
1. Using the appropriate screws, firmly fasten a set of brackets to the wall.
Confirm that the screws are firmly attached to the wall.
– You may need additional material such as wall anchors depending on
the type of wall.
2. Using the appropriately sized screws, firmly fasten a set of brackets to the
TV.
– For the screw specifications, refer to "Standard Screw" in the table on
page 8.
3. Connect the brackets fixed to the TV and the brackets fixed to the wall
with a durable, heavy-duty string, and then tie the string tightly.
– Install the TV near the wall so that it does not fall backwards.
– Connect the string so that the brackets fixed to the wall are at the
same height as or lower than the brackets fixed to the TV.
