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.

Safety PrecautionCaution: 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-tip device,  referring to “Preventing the TV from falling.”

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:

• Always use cabinets or stands or mounting methods recommended by Samsung.
• Always use furniture that can safely support the television set.
• Always ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
• Always educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
• Always route cords and cables connected to your television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
• Never place a television set in an unstable location. Never place the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or  bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
• Never place the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting  furniture.
• Never place items that might tempt children to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the television or  furniture on which the television is placed.If the existing television set is going to be retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.
• 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 the standard screw part in the table on the Quick Setup Guide.
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.Precautions when installing the TV with a standWhen you install the TV with a stand, avoid placing the stand on the back part of the table surface. Failure to do so may cause the motion sensor at the bottom of the TV not to work properly.

Internet securitySamsung 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 protectyour 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-toguess 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 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.
