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.

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 TV model. Refer to the lock's user manual for more information.

Precautions for wireless Internet
●This TV supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac communication protocols. Samsung recommends using IEEE
802.11n. Video files stored on a device connected to the TV via a Home Network may not play back smoothly.
"IEEE 802.11 ac communication protocol is not available on certain models.
●To use wireless Internet, the TV must be connected to a wireless router or modem. If the wireless router
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 in use for the wireless router. If the channel set for the wireless router is
currently being used by 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 AP.
Wireless security protocols
The TV only supports the following wireless network security protocols. The TV cannot connect to non-certified
wireless routers.
–Authentication Modes: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK
–Encryption Types: WEP, TKIP, AES
In compliance with the newest Wi-Fi certification specifications, Samsung TVs do not support WEP or TKIP security
encryption in networks running in the 802.11n mode. If the wireless router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup),
you can connect the TV to your network using PBC (Push Button Configuration) or a PIN (Personal Identification
Number). WPS automatically configures the SSID and WPA key settings.

Using Voice Interaction
A Guide to using Voice Interaction to control your TV.
To use Voice Interaction, your TV must be connected to the Internet and you must use the microphone on your
Samsung Smart Remote.
Voice Interaction lets you speak commands to control the TV, for example, to change the channel or display the
program guide. This is not the same as Voice Guide which provides speech output from the TV that says what is
displayed on screen. Voice Guide is useful for people who cannot see or read the menu items on screen.
To use Voice Interaction, you press the button on the remote, say a command, such as "Guide", into the
microphone on your Samsung Smart Remote.
"This function may not be supported depending on the model or geographical region.
Running Voice Interaction
Press and hold the button on the Samsung Smart Remote. The TV will respond, saying "Speak now". Say the
command you want, and then release the button. The TV will provide feedback about what it has understood, and
then carry out the action.
"If the TV cannot identify the command, try again with more precise pronunciation.
"This function may not be supported depending on the model or geographical region.
Some useful commands are:
●Voice Guide on/off – turns the speech output on/off
●Audio description on/off – turns audio description on/off
●Guide – opens the program guide
●Channel list – opens the channel list
●Volume up/down – changes the volume up/down
You can also search for videos on YouTube. Press and hold the button, and then say a phrase for example, “songs
by [name]”. This will bring up a list of video clips of songs by that artist.
"Voice Guide will voice a lot of information about the video. It is not yet possible to interrupt this and it will run over the first
few seconds of the video.
If you say a command which is not recognized, the TV will often try a search. Press to return to TV.
