Frequently Asked Questions - The Frame QN43LS03T SAMSUNG

Connect the One Connect cable from the TV to the One Connect Box, then connect power and HDMI devices. Use the stand or wall mount. Follow the on-screen setup wizard to configure network, smart hub, and Art Mode.

What is Art Mode and how does it work?

Art Mode turns your TV into a piece of art by displaying paintings, photos, or personal images when the TV is not in use. You can select artworks from the Samsung Art Store or upload your own. The TV uses motion sensors to activate Art Mode when you enter the room.

How do I clean the screen without damaging it?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the screen. Do not spray liquids directly onto the screen or use abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, lightly dampen the cloth with water and wipe.

Can I mount this TV on the wall?

Yes, the TV is designed for wall mounting. Use a VESA-compliant wall mount (200x200mm) and ensure it can support the TV's weight. The included One Connect Box can be hidden or mounted separately for a clean look.

How do I connect external devices like a soundbar or game console?

Connect devices via HDMI to the One Connect Box. The box has multiple HDMI and USB ports. For soundbars, use the HDMI ARC port or optical audio output. Configure input sources in the Settings menu.

Why is my TV not turning on?

Check that the power cable is securely connected to both the One Connect Box and the wall outlet. Ensure the One Connect cable is firmly attached to the TV. If still no power, try a different outlet or contact Samsung support. A red standby light indicates power is reaching the TV.

How do I update the TV firmware?

Go to Settings > Support > Software Update and select 'Update Now'. Ensure the TV is connected to the internet. You can also update via USB by downloading the firmware from Samsung's website.

Can I use voice control with this TV?

Yes, the TV supports Bixby voice assistant and works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant when paired with compatible smart speakers. Press the microphone button on the remote to activate Bixby.

What should I do if the Art Mode screen flickers or shows wrong colors?

First, check that the ambient light sensor is not obstructed. Go to Settings > General > Art Mode Settings and adjust the brightness and color tone. If the issue persists, restart the TV or reset Art Mode settings to default.

How do I reset the TV to factory settings?

Go to Settings > General > Reset and enter your PIN (default is 0000). This erases all personal data and returns the TV to its original state. Confirm the reset and wait for the TV to restart.

Internet security

Samsung takes a number of steps to protect its Internet-compatible Smart TVs against unauthorized incursions and hacking. For example, certain sensitive communications between the TV and the Internet servers are encrypted. In addition, the TV's operating system has adopted controls to prevent the installation of unauthorized applications. Although we take steps to protect your Smart TV and personal information, no Internet-connected device or transmission is completely secure. We therefore encourage you to take additional steps to safeguard your TV, secure your Internet connection, and minimize the risk of unauthorized access. These steps are listed below:

- When Samsung releases software updates to improve the security of your TV, you should promptly install these updates. To automatically receive these updates, turn on Auto Update in the TV's menu (Settings > Support > Software Update > Auto Update). When an update is available, a popup message appears on the TV screen. Accept the software download and update by selecting Yes when prompted. Take steps to secure your wireless access point and network. Your access point's manual should provide additional details about how to implement the following measures:

• Secure your wireless access point's management settings with a unique password to prevent unauthorized changes to security related settings.
• Implement standard encryption (e.g., WPA2 encryption) on your wireless access point to secure your wireless network signal.
• Secure access to your wireless network with a hard-to-guess password.
• Confirm your access point's firewall setting is enabled (if so equipped).
• Make sure that all your Internet-connected devices are behind your network's firewall.

• If your access point or modem has a standby mode button, use it to disconnect your home network from the Internet when it is not in use.

• Use strong passwords for all your Internet accounts (Netflix, Facebook, etc.).

• If any unexpected messages appear on your TV screen requesting permission to link a device or enable a remote session, do NOT accept.
• Do not visit suspicious web sites and do not install any suspicious programs. We recommend that users install only those authorized apps provided by Samsung through Samsung Smart Hub.

To connect the One Invisible Connection to the One Connect and your TV, follow these steps:

1. After the TV is completely set up and placed in its final position, connect the One Invisible Connection to the One Connect and the TV as shown in Steps 1 to 4 above.

WARNING: Make sure that both connectors are fully and firmly connected. If either connector is not connected properly, there is a danger of severe electric shock.

1. Connect the One Connect AC power cord to the One Connect, and then connect the cord to a wall outlet as shown in Step 5 above.

WARNING: Follow the directions exactly. Be sure to connect the power cord to the wall outlet as the last step. Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before disconnecting the One Invisible Connection from the back of the TV or from the One Connect.

- See the illustrated Quick Setup Guide for more information.

1. Connect your peripherals (antenna, cable box, Blu-ray player, etc.) to the One Connect. See the Accessory Kit for details.

• Do not install the One Connect upside-down or standing upright on one of its sides.
• When connecting the One Invisible Connection, use a Bending Cover to bend the cable. The Bending Cover prevents the cable of the One Invisible Connection from being bent at a 90 degree angle. Bending the cable at a 90 degree angle can damage the cable.

Mounting the TV on a wall

If you mount this TV on a wall, follow the instructions exactly as set out by the manufacturer. If it is not correctly mounted, the TV may slide or fall and cause serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to the TV.

For models providing wall mount adapters, install the adapters as shown in the figure below before installing the wall mount kit.

• Refer to the installation manual included with the Samsung wall mount kit.

Wall mount Adapter Wall mount bracket TV C

• The shape of the wall mount adapters may differ depending on the model.

• The 43-50 inch models provide 2 wall mount adapters at the upper side and the 55 inch models provide 4 wall mount adapters. In case of 65-75 inch models, none is provided.

• 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.
  • To order the wall mount kit, contact Samsung service center at 1-800-SAMSUNG (1-800-726-7864).

• 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.
• 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 region.)
• Standard dimensions for wall mount kits are shown in the table on the next page.
• If you are installing a third-party wall mount, note that the length of the screws you can use to attach the TV to the wall mount is shown in column C in the table on the next page.

TV size in inches	VESA screw hole specs (A * B) in millimeters	C (mm)	Standard Screw	Pitch (mm)	Quantity
43	200 x 200	24-26	M8	1.25	4
50-55	200 x 200	27-29
65	400 x 300	24-26
75	400 x 400	26-28

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.

Providing proper ventilation for your TV

When you install your TV and One Connect, maintain a distance of at least 4 inches (10 cm) between the 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.

Safety Precaution: Securing the TV to the wall to prevent falling

Prohibition sign with crossed-out rectangle and Chinese character '福' inside circle

Caution: Pulling, pushing, or climbing on the TV may cause the TV to fall. In particular, ensure your children do not hang on or destabilize 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-tip 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:

• Always use cabinets or stands or mounting methods recommended by Samsung.
• Always use furniture that can safely support the television set.
• Always ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
• Always educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
• Always route cords and cables connected to your television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
- Never place a television set in an unstable location.
- Never place the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
- Never place the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.
- Never place items that might tempt children to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the television or furniture on which the television is placed.

If the existing television set is going to be retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.

- When you have to relocate or lift the TV for replacement or cleaning, be sure not to pull out the stand.

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.

1. 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 page 10.

1. 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.

2. Install the TV near the wall so that it does not fall backwards.

3. 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.

( > Art > Settings > Motion Detector)

Precautions when using Art mode

• 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 color tone of the screen can be affected.

• Art mode uses algorithms to minimize image burn-in that can be caused by displaying still images on the screen for long periods of time.
  • The performance of the sensor may vary depending on the TV installation and operating environment.

• The screen brightness and color tone may be affected depending on the color of the floor on which the TV stands.

• In an environment where special light sources other than standard light sources (halogen, fluorescent) are 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 (m > Settings > General > Eco Solution > Auto Power Off).

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

• Settings > General > System Manager > Auto Protection Time function does not work in Art mode.

Eco Sensor and screen brightness

Interior and exterior views of a room with furniture, lighting, and no signage (no text or symbols present)

Eco Sensor adjusts the brightness of the TV automatically. This feature measures the light in your room and optimizes the brightness of the TV automatically to reduce power consumption. If you want to turn this off, go to > Settings > General > Eco Solution > Ambient Light Detection.

• If the screen is too dark while you are watching TV in a dark environment, it may be due to the Ambient Light Detection function.
• The eco sensor is located at the bottom of the TV. Do not block the sensor with any object. This can decrease picture brightness.

Caring for the TV

• If a sticker was attached to the TV screen, some debris can remain after you remove the sticker. Please clean the debris off before watching TV.
• The exterior and screen of the TV can get scratched during cleaning. Be sure to wipe the exterior and screen carefully using a soft cloth to prevent scratches.
• Do not spray water or any liquid directly onto the TV. Any liquid that goes into the product may cause a failure, fire, or electric shock.
• To clean the screen, turn off the TV, then gently wipe away smudges and fingerprints on the panel with a micro-fiber cloth. Clean the body or panel of the TV with a micro-fiber cloth dampened with a small amount of water. After that, remove the moisture with a dry cloth. While cleaning, do not apply strong force to the surface of the panel because it can damage the panel. Never use flammable liquids (benzene, thinner, etc.) or a cleaning agent. For stubborn smudges, spray a small amount of screen cleaner on a micro-fiber cloth, and then use the cloth to wipe away the smudges.

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.

Q950T, Q900T series supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac /ax communication protocols.
For models other than the Q950T and Q900T 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-certified wireless access point.

– Authentication Modes: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK
– Encryption Types: WEP, TKIP, AES

In compliance with the 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 access point 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.

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 ☑con 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

Placing the television on a platform, stand, cabinet, table or other surface which is:

- recommended by Samsung or sold with the product;

- secure and stable;

-sufficiently wider in the base than the base measurement of the television;

- strong and large enough to support the size and weight of the television.

Positioning the television close to the wall to avoid the possibility of the television falling when pushed.

Ensuring your television is installed by an authorized Samsung installer.

Following the instructions for wall mounting in the installation manual and using the mounting equipment supplied by Samsung.

Placing the television toward the back of the furniture or surface on which it is placed.

Ensuring that the television does not hang over the edge of the furniture or surface on which it is placed.

Not hanging anything from or on the television.

Anchoring both the television and the furniture on which it is placed to a suitable support especially in the case of tall furniture, such as cupboards or bookcases which exceed one metre in height. This can be done by using sturdy brackets, safety straps or mounts that are made specifically for flat screen televisions.

Not placing any material between the television and the furniture on which it is placed.

If the furniture on which the television is placed has drawers, cabinets or shelves under the television, taking steps to prevent children from climbing, such as installing safety latches so the doors cannot be opened.

Keeping pets away from the television.

Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its control.

Failure to take these safety precautions may cause the television to fall from the stand or mounting equipment, causing damage or serious injury.

Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance. However, if there is no alternative but to cut off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug.

Do NOT connect the plug to a mains socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

WARNING

DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL, WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER E OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL, OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.
