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, 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 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.
•• |
Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing. |
•• |
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. |
•• |
Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or overheat the |
|
batteries. |
•• |
There is danger of an explosion if you replace the |
|
batteries used in the remote with the wrong type of |
|
battery. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. |
•• |
WARNING - TO PREVENT THE SPREAD |
|
OF FIRE, KEEP CANDLES OR OTHER |
|
ITEMS WITH OPEN FLAMES AWAY FROM |
|
THIS PRODUCT AT ALL TIMES. |
•• |
Use care when touching the TV after it has been on for |
|
some time. Some parts can be warm to the touch. |
–– 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 |

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.

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.
Connect the TV to your Modem/Router using a CAT 7 cable and try to set up a wired network connection. (MENU >
Network > Network Settings).
Check Network Status (MENU > Network > Network Status) to see if the IP address is invalid, for example, 169.x.x.x. If it is, call your ISP to get a valid IP address, and then ask them to check the connection not only between your Modem and Router but also between the Modem / Router and the Internet.
If you see a valid Mac address, call your ISP and ask them to reset your network circuit to re-register the Mac addresses of your new Modem/Router and the TV.
