Network Connection

Network Connection - Wireless (Australia and New Zealand)

You can connect your TV to your LAN through a standard wireless router or modem. To connect wirelessly, you must first attach a “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter” (WIS12ABGNX, WIS09ABGNX - sold separately) to either the USB port on the side of your TV. See the illustration below.

Samsung Wireless

LAN Adapter

LAN Cable

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately and is offered by select retailers and Ecommerce sites. Samsung’s

Wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11a/b/g and n communication protocols. Samsung recommends using IEEE

802.11n. When you play video over a network connection, the video may not be played smoothly.

Most wireless network systems incorporate a security system that requires devices that access the network through an access point or wireless router (typically a wireless IP Sharer) to transmit an encrypted security code called an access key.

If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode is selected and the Encryption type is set to WEP or TKIP for your wireless router, Samsung TVs will not support a connection in compliance with new Wi-Fi certification specifications.

3. Connect the clamps fixed onto the TV and the clamps fixed onto the wall with a strong string and then tie the string tightly.

✎

NOTE x

Install the TV near to the wall so that it does not fall backwards.

x

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.

x

Untie the string before moving the TV.

4. Verify all connections are properly secured. Periodically check connections for any sign of fatigue for failure.

If you have any doubt about the security of your connections, contact a professional installer.
