•Samsung Electronics is not responsible for any damage to the product or injury to yourself
or others if you choose to install the wall mount on your own.
•You can install your wall mount on a solid wall perpendicular to the floor. Before attaching
the wall mount to surfaces other than plaster board, contact your nearest dealer for
additional information. If you install the TV on a ceiling or slanted wall, it may fall and
result in severe personal injury.

use to attach the TV to the wall mount is shown in column C in the table on the next page.
•When installing a wall mount kit, we recommend you fasten all four VESA screws.
•If you want to install a wall mount kit that attaches to the wall using two top screws only,
be sure to use a Samsung wall mount kit that supports this type of installation. (You may
not be able to purchase this type of wall mount kit, depending on the geographical area.)

Do not install your wall mount kit while your TV is turned on. This may result in
personal injury from electric shock.
•Do not use screws that are longer than the standard dimension or do not comply with the
VESA standard screw specifications. Screws that are too long may cause damage to the
inside of the TV set.
•For wall mounts that do not comply with the VESA standard screw specifications, the
length of the screws may differ depending on the wall mount specifications.
•Do not fasten the screws too firmly. This may damage the product or cause the product to
fall, leading to personal injury. Samsung is not liable for these kinds of accidents.
•Samsung is not liable for product damage or personal injury when a non-VESA or non-
specified wall mount is used or when the consumer fails to follow the product installation
instructions.
•Do not mount the TV at more than a 15 degree tilt.
•Always have two people mount the TV onto a wall.
– For 82 inch or larger models, have four people mount the TV onto a wall.
Providing proper ventilation for your TV
When you install your TV and One Connect, maintain a distance of at least 10 cm between the
TV and One Connect with other objects (walls, cabinet sides, etc.) to ensure proper ventilation.
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.

Other Cautions
•The actual appearance of the TV may differ from the images in this manual, depending on
the model.
•Be careful when you touch the TV. Some parts can be somewhat hot.
Safety Precaution: Securing the TV to the wall to prevent
falling
Caution: Pulling, pushing, or climbing on the TV may cause the TV to fall. In
particular, ensure your children do not hang on or destabilise 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-fall device
as described on the next page.
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
•Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
•Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.
•Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting
furniture.
•Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or
bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a
suitable support.
•Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located
between the television set and supporting furniture.
•Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the
television set or its controls.
If you are retaining and relocating the television set that you are replacing with this
new set, you should apply the same precautions to the old set.
English - 15
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 "Standard Screw"
in the table on the previous page.
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.
•The product colour
and shape may vary
depending on the model.
