TV Installation

One Invisible Connection Guide

• The method for connecting the One Invisible Connection to the TV may differ depending on the model. For more information, refer to Quick Setup Guide.

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 connecter is not connected properly, there is a danger of severe electric shock.

2. 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.

3. 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.
• When connecting the One Invisible Connection, pay attention to the shapes and sizes of its connectors so that they are connected correctly. Failure to do so may cause product malfunction.
• When connecting the One Invisible Connection, be careful not to twist the cable of the One Invisible Connection. Failure to do so may cause performance degradation of the TV or damage to the cable.
• When arranging the remaining cable, refer to the figure on the previous page for the correct arrangement.
• Take care not to subject the cable to any of the actions below. The One Invisible Connection contains a power circuit. You could damage the cable and subject yourself to an electric shock.
• Handle the One Connect carefully. It is heavy.

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT (One Invisible Connection)

• Caution - Invisible laser radiation when open. Do not stare into beam.

– Do not bend the One Invisible Connection cable excessively. Do not cut the cable.

– Do not place heavy objects on the cable.

– Do not disassemble either of the cable connectors.

• Caution - Use of controls, adjustments, or the performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Mounting the TV on a wall

If you mount this TV on a wall, follow the instructions exactly as set out by the manufacturer. Unless it is 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.

• 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 below.
• 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 below.

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 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

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-fall device as described below.

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.

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 page 9.

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.
