• The motion sensor is located at the bottom of the TV. Do not block the sensor at the front of the TV. The motion

sensor as well as the brightness and colour tone of the screen can be affected.

• The performance of the sensor may vary depending on the TV installation and operating environment.

– The screen brightness and colour tone may be affected depending on the colour of the floor on which the TV

stands.

used, the sensor's motion recognition performance may vary depending on the positions, types, and number

of the light sources.

– If the area around the TV is too dark or bright, the screen brightness may be limited or the sensor may not

work normally.

– If the TV is installed too high or too low, the sensor may not work normally.

– The motion sensor may sense motion from a flashing LED, a pet, a car moving outside the window or other

occurrence and start operating.

• Depending on the Auto Power Off function settings, the TV may turn off when there is no user input in Art mode,

such as inputs from the remote control ( Settings General Power and Energy Saving Auto Power

Off).

• Settings General System Manager Time Sleep Timer and Off Timer function does not work in

Read before setting up a wireless Internet connection

Precautions for wireless Internet

• This TV supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac communication protocols. Video files stored on a device

connected to the TV via a Home Network may not play back smoothly.

Some of the IEEE 802.11 communication protocols may not be supported depending on the model or geographical area.

QN9**A series supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac /ax communication protocols.

For models other than the QN9**A series, Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n.

• To use wireless Internet, the TV must be connected to a wireless access point or modem. If the wireless access

point supports DHCP, the TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.

• Select a channel that is not currently being used by the wireless access point. If the channel set is currently

being used by the wireless access point to communicate with another device, the result is usually interference

and/or a communications failure.

• Most wireless networks have an optional security system. To enable a wireless network's security system, you

need to create a password using characters and numbers. This password is then needed to connect to a security-

enabled access point.

Wireless security protocols

The TV only supports the following wireless network security protocols. The TV cannot connect to non-certied

wireless access point.

– Authentication Modes: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK

– Encryption Types: WEP, TKIP, AES

In compliance with the Wi-Fi certication specications, Samsung TVs do not support WEP or TKIP security

encryption in networks running in the 802.11n mode. If the wireless access point supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected

Setup), you can connect the TV to your network using PBC (Push Button Conguration) or a PIN (Personal

Identication Number). WPS automatically congures the SSID and WPA key settings.

Read Before Playing Photo, Video or Music Files

Read this information before playing media content.

Limitations to the use of photo, video and music les Try Now

• The TV supports MSC (Mass Storage Class) USB devices only. MSC is a class designation for mass storage devices.

Types of MSC devices include external hard drives, flash card readers and digital cameras. (USB hubs are not

supported.) These kinds of devices must be connected directly to the USB port. The TV may not be able to

recognise a USB device or read the files on the device if it is connected with a USB extension cable. Do not

disconnect USB devices while they are transferring files.

• When connecting an external hard drive, use the USB (HDD 5V 1A) port. We recommend that you use an external

hard drive with its own power adapter.

USB (HDD 5V 1A) port is supported by some models.

• Certain digital cameras and audio devices may not be compatible with the TV.

• If there are multiple USB devices connected to the TV, the TV might not be able to recognise some or all the

USB (HDD 5V 1A) port is supported by some models.

• The TV supports the FAT, exFAT and NTFS file systems.

• In the media contents list, the TV can display up to 1,000 files per folder. If the USB device contains more than

8,000 files and folders, however, some files and folders might not be accessible.

Installing an anti-theft lock

An anti-theft lock is a physical device that can be used to protect the TV against theft. Look for the lock slot on the

back of the TV. The slot has a icon next to it. To use the lock, wrap the lock cable around an object that is too

heavy to carry and then thread it through the TV's lock slot. The lock is sold separately. The method of using an anti-

theft lock may differ for each model. Refer to the lock's user manual for more information.

This function may not be supported depending on the model or geographical area.

Read Before Connecting a Computer (Supported Resolutions)

Check the resolutions supported for PC input signals.

When you connect your TV to a computer, set the computer's video card to one of the standard resolutions listed in

the tables below. The TV will automatically adjust to the resolution you choose. Note that the optimal and

recommended resolutions are 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz (UHD models), 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz (Q5*A Series) and 7680 x

4320 @ 60 Hz (QN7**A Series or higher). Choosing a resolution not included in the tables can result in a blank or

ickering screen or can turn on only the receiver of the remote control. Refer to the user manual of your graphics

card for compatible resolutions.

The native resolutions are 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz (UHD models) and 7680 x 4320 @ 60 Hz (QN7**A Series or higher) with the

Input Signal Plus set to On. The native resolution is 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz with the Input Signal Plus set to Off.

Make sure that the set-top box or cable box supports the content or broadcast for

UHD and set the resolution. For more information, contact your service provider.

When using a Samsung TV Plus channel, check the network connection. When the

network speed is slow, the app may not work or the image quality may be poor.

The picture is distorted.

The compression of video content may cause picture distortions, especially in fast moving

pictures from sports programmes and action movies.

If the signal reception is weak or poor, screen distortion may be visible but it is not a

malfunction.

Mobile phones used close to the TV (within 1 m) may cause noise on analogue and digital

channels.

Children watching TV need constant adult supervision to prevent them from

touching the TV.

This heat, however, is not a defect and does not affect the TV's functionality.

The TV smells like plastic. This smell is normal and will dissipate over time.
