● Install on a vertical wall only.

● For the installation, avoid a location with high temperature or humidity, or a wall that cannot sustain the weight of the set.

● Check the strength of the wall. If the wall is not strong enough to support the unit, reinforce the wall or install the unit on a different wall that can support the unit's weight.

● Purchase and use the fixing screws or anchors appropriate for the kind of wall you have (plaster board, iron board, wood, etc.). If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs.

● Purchase wall mounting screws according to the type and thickness of the wall you will mount the

Soundbar on.

- Diameter : M5

- Length: 1 3/8 inches or longer recommended.

● Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install it on the wall.

● Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.

+ More About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetooth-compliant devices to interconnect easily with each other using a short wireless connection.

● a Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, if:

- a part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or the

Soundbar.

- It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or office partition.

- It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical equipment, microwave ovens, and wireless LaNs.

● Pair the Soundbar with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.

● The further the distance between the Soundbar and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is.

If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.

● In poor reception areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.

● The Bluetooth connection only works when it is close to the unit. The connection will be automatically cut off if the Bluetooth device is out of range. even within range, the sound quality may be degraded by obstacles such as walls or doors.

● This wireless device may cause electric interference during its operation.

FUNCTIONS

SOFTWare uPDaTe

Samsung may offer updates for the Soundbar's system firmware in the future.

If an update is offered, you can update the firmware by connecting a uSB device with the firmware update stored on it to the uSB port on your Soundbar.

Note that if there are multiple update files, you must load them onto the uSB device singly and use them to update the firmware one file at a time.

Please visit samsung.com or contact the Samsung call center to receive more information about downloading updates files.

● Insert a uSB device containing the firmware update into the uSB port on the main unit.

● updating firmware may not work properly if audio files supported by the Soundbar are stored in the uSB storage device.

● Do not disconnect the power or remove the uSB device while updates are being applied. The main unit will turn off automatically after completing the firmware update.

● after the update, all settings are reset to their factory default settings. We recommend you write down your settings so that you can easily reset them after the update. Note that updating firmware resets the subwoofer connection too.

If connection to the subwoofer is not re-established automatically after the update, refer to page

14.

If the firmware fails to update, we recommend formatting the uSB device in FaT16 and trying again.

● Once the software update is completed, turn off the product and then press and hold the ( p ) button on the remote control for more than 5 seconds. “iniT” appears on the display and the unit is powered off. The upgrade is complete.
