   If you are hanging the unit below a TV, be sure to install the wall mount bracket so that the arrow (↑) is placed in the center of the TV.
   Also make sure the unit is at least two inches (5 cm) below the TV.

2. Align the screw holders (Holder-screw, AH61-03342A) with the screw holes on the back of the Main Unit. Insert the supplied screws through the screw holders, and then screw them into the Main Unit.

3. Insert the USB cable into the back of the unit before installing it on the wall.

4. Fit the unit into the corresponding slots of the wall mount bracket. For secure installation, make sure the mounting studs slide firmly down into the bottom of the slots.

5. The installation is complete.

1 2 2 inches (5 cm) or more 2 inch

BLUETOOTH (HW-F355 MODEL ONLY)

You can use a Bluetooth device to enjoy music with high quality stereo sound, all without wires!

What is 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, when:

- A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or the Air Track.

- 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 Air Track with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.

- The further the distance is between Air Track and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is. If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.

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

- The Bluetooth connection only works when the Bluetooth device is close to the set. 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.

To connect the Air Track to a Bluetooth device

Check if the Bluetooth device supports the Bluetooth compliant stereo headset function.

- When the Air Track is connected to the Bluetooth device, it will display BT CONNECTED BT on the front display.

- If the Bluetooth device has failed to pair with the Air Track, delete the previous “[Samsung] AirTrack” found by the Bluetooth device and have it search for the Air Track again.

1. Play music on the connected device.

- You can listen to the music playing on the connected Bluetooth device over the Crystal Surround Air Track system.

• In BT mode, Play/Repeat/Stop/Next/Prev functions are not available.

- You may be required to enter a PIN code (password) when connecting the Bluetooth device to the Air Track. If the PIN code input window appears, enter <0000>.

The Air Track supports SBC data (44.1kHz, 48kHz).

■ The AVRCP feature is not supported.

- Connect only to a Bluetooth device that supports the A2DP (AV) function.

- You cannot connect to a Bluetooth device that supports only the HF (Hands Free) function.

- Only one Bluetooth device can be paired at a time.

- Once you have turned off Air Track and the pairing is disconnected, the pairing will not be restored automatically. To reconnect, you must pair the device again.

- Search or connection may not be performed properly by Air Track in the following cases:

- If there is a strong electrical field around Air Track.

- If several Bluetooth devices are simultaneously paired with Air Track

- If the Bluetooth device is turned off, not in place, or malfunctions

- Note that such devices as microwave ovens, wireless LAN adaptors, fluorescent lights, and gas stoves use the same frequency range as the Bluetooth device, which can cause electric interference.

To disconnect the Bluetooth device from the Air Track

You can disconnect the Bluetooth device from the Air Track. For instructions, see the Bluetooth device's user manual.

• The Air Track will be disconnected.
- When the Air Track is disconnected from the Bluetooth device the Air Track will display BT DISCONNECTED on the front display.

To disconnect the Air Track from the Bluetooth device

Press the (F.) button on the front panel of the Air Track to switch from BT to another mode or turn off the Air Track.

• The connected Bluetooth device will wait a certain amount of time for a response from the Air Track before terminating the connection.
  (Disconnection time may differ, depending on the Bluetooth device)

- The currently connected device will be disconnected.

• In Bluetooth connection mode, the Bluetooth connection will be lost if the distance between the Air Track and the Bluetooth device exceeds 16.25 ft. (5m).
• If the Bluetooth device comes back into the effective range after disconnecting, you can restart the Air Track to restore the pairing with the Bluetooth device.
• The Air Track automatically turns off after 20 minutes in the Ready state.
