More About 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 SoundStand.
- 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 SoundStand with the Bluetooth device
while they are close together.
● The further the distance between the
SoundStand 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 it is
close to the unit. 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.

NFC (ONLY HW-H610 MODEL)
You can connect your SoundStand to an NFC-enabled smart device through a Bluetooth connection with a
simple setup. Once connected, you can enjoy music stored in your smart device through the SoundStand.
▶ Connecting with NFC and smart devices
1. Detach the NFC sticker label from the package and attach it to a desired spot.
● Putting the NFC sticker within a 3m radius from the unit is recommanded.
● Do not attach the NFC sticker on a metallic surface including the SoundStand.
Metallic object may interfere with communication and the NFC sticker may not work properly.
2. Press the
( ) button on the main unit’s top panel or the SOURCE button on the remote control to select
the BT mode.
3. Enable the NFC function of your smart device.

5. When the connection prompt appears on your smart device’s display, select <Yes>.
● Once the connection is established, the completion message appears.
 To reconnect once the initial connection had been successful, start from step 3.
▶ Disconnecting NFC
Bring your smart device’s NFC antenna close to the NFC label on the SoundStand again. The disconnection
message appears on the smart device's display.
▶ To connect another smart device to the SoundStand which is already
connected to another NFC compatible device
Bring the new smart device close to the NFC label of the SoundStand.
● The NFC function is implemented in Android v4.1.2 Jelly Bean and later operating systems.
- To make NFC connections, your smart device needs both Android OS 4.1.2 Jelly Bean or later and
the NFC tag for NFC function execution. You also need to download the “Samsung NFC
Connection” application from the Google Playstore and install it on your smart device. For further
details, please refer to the smart device’s user manual.
● The location of the NFC antenna is different in different devices. Confirm the location of your smart
device’s antenna in the device's user manual before attempting to pair it with the SoundStand.
● If your smart device is in a thick housing or case, the NFC connection may not be stable.
● The N-mark is a trade mark or registered trade mark of the NFC Forum Inc. in the United States and
other countries.
● If you have trouble with an NFC connection
- Actually touching your smart device to the NFC label can cause NFC connection failure.
- If the “Empty tag” error is displayed on the smart device, please try again.
- Check whether your smart device’s antenna is close enough to the NFC logo.
● If you turn off the SoundStand when the Bluetooth Power On feature is ON, and then try to
connect a Bluetooth device that has been previously connected using NFC, the SoundStand will
turn on automatically when the device connects.
To set the Bluetooth Power On option, see page16.

FUNCTIONS
Samsung may offer upgrades for the
SoundStand's system firmware in the future.
If an upgrade is offered, you can upgrade the
firmware by connecting a USB device with the
firmware upgrade stored on it to the USB port on
your SoundStand.
Note that if there are multiple upgrade files, you
must load them onto the USB device singly and use
them to upgrade the firmware one at a time.
Please visit samsung.com or contact the Samsung
call center to receive more information about
downloading upgrades files.
● Insert a USB device containing the
firmware upgrade into the USB port on
the main unit.
● Do not disconnect the power or remove
the USB device while upgrades are being
applied. The main unit will turn off
automatically after completing the
firmware upgrade.
When software is upgraded, all settings
are reset to their factory default settings.
We recommend you write down your
settings so that you can easily reset them
after the upgrade.
● Once the software upgrade is completed,
turn off the product and then press and
hold the (►) button for a while to reset
the product.
● If the firmware fails to upgrade, we
recommend formatting the USB device in
FAT16 and trying again.
● Do not format the USB device in the NTFS
format. The SoundStand does not support
the NTFS file system.
● Depending on the manufacturer, some
USB devices may not be supported.
