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.

This function is not available on certain models in specific geographical areas.

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. 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.

– Authentication Modes: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK

– Encryption Types: WEP, TKIP, AES

The TV cannot connect to non-certified wireless routers.

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.

Read Before Connecting a Computer (Supported Resolutions)

Check the supported resolution 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 or on the next page. The TV will automatically adjust to the resolution you choose. Note that the optimal and recommended resolution is 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz. Choosing a resolution not included in the tables can result in a blank screen or just the power indicator turning on. Refer to the user manual of your graphics card for compatible resolutions.

This quick start guide assumes that the TV is set up and tuned and connected to the internet for the Voice Interaction section. If it is not yet connected, then the Voice Interaction section will not be relevant.

This function is not available on certain models in specific geographical areas.

Accessibility short cut menu

The accessibility short cut menu allows you to change a number of settings that might help you use the TV including turning voice guide on and off. Voice Guide is text-to-speech that speaks the menu items on screen making the TV usable by people who cannot see or read the information on screen.

The menu contains a number of items including:

• Voice Guide. This works on every screen on the TV and when turned on speaks to identify items displayed on screen. For example, it tells you the selected volume, the current channel and programme information. It also reads out the programme information in the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG).
• High Contrast mode allows you to display all menus with an opaque black background and a white font, providing maximum contrast.
• Enlarge enables the important elements on the screen such as the name of programmes to be larger.
• Learn TV Remote opens a menu screen containing a picture of the remote control. On this screen, pressing the power button (top left button) will turn off the TV, but when any other button is pressed the TV will say the button name and briefly tell what that button does. This teaching mode helps you to learn the location and operation of the buttons on the Samsung Smart Remote without affecting normal TV operation. Press the return button twice to return to the previous screen.
• Menu Learning Screen. Learn the menus on the TV screen. Once enabled, your TV will tell you the structure and features of the menus you select.

Opening the accessibility short cut menu:

On the Samsung Smart Remote there are two thin horizontal silver rocker buttons next to each other located slightly below the middle of the remote. The one on the left is the volume rocker button. This button is called the AD/SUBT. button in the e-Manual. To open the accessibility short cut menu, press and hold on top of this button.

To find the AD/SUBT. button on the standard remote control, go to the second row from the bottom and the second button from the right side of the remote. To open the accessibility menu, press this button.
