Installation Precautions
• Install on a vertical wall only.
• For the installation, avoid a location with high temperature or humidity, or a wall that cannot sustain the weight of the set.
• Check the strength of the wall. If the wall is not strong enough to support the unit, reinforce the wall or install the unit on a
different wall that can support the unit's weight.
• Purchase and use the fixing screws or anchors appropriate for the kind of wall you have (plaster board, iron board, wood,
etc.). If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs.
• Purchase wall mounting screws according to the type and thickness of the wall you will mount the Soundbar on.
• Diameter : M5
• Length: 1 3/8 in (35 mm) or longer recommended.
• Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install it on the wall.
• Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may
cause an electric shock.
▪Do not hang onto the installed unit and avoid any impact to the unit.
▪Secure the unit firmly to the wall so that it does not fall off. If the unit falls off, it may cause an injury or
damage the product.
▪When the unit is installed on a wall, please make sure that children do not pull any of the connecting cables,
as it may cause it to fall.
▪For the optimal performance of a wall mount installation, install the speaker system at least 2 inches (5 cm)
below the TV.
▪For your safety, if you do not mount the unit on the wall, install it on a secure, flat surface where it is unlikely
to fall.
1. Place the installation guide against the wall surface.
• The installation guide must be placed parallel to the wall.
• Installation should be done at least 2 inches (5 cm) below the TV.
2. Mark the location where the screws will go through on the wall using
a pen, and then remove the installation guide.
3. Fasten the wall mount and screw to the marked location.
• The left and right mounts are different shapes.
4. Secure the two holder screws to the screw holes on the back of the
Soundbar's main body, one on the left and one on the right.
5. Insert the USB cable into the unit before installing it on the wall.
6. Set the holder screws on the back of the Soundbar into the grooves
of the wall mount.
For safe installation, make sure to push the holder screws all the way

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 Soundbar.
- 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 Soundbar with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.
• The further the distance is between Soundbar 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.

SOFTWARE UPGRADE
Samsung may offer upgrades for the Wireless Audio - Soundbar's
system firmware in the future.
If an upgrade is offered, you can upgrade the firmware by connecting a
USB drive with the firmware upgrade stored on it to the USB port on
your Soundbar.
Note that if there are multiple upgrade files, you must load them onto
the USB drive 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 upgrade files.
Insert a USB drive containing the firmware upgrade into the USB port on the main unit.
Do not disconnect the power or remove the USB drive while upgrades are being applied. The main unit
will turn off automatically after completing the firmware upgrade.
When software is upgraded, settings you have made will return to their default (factory) settings.
We recommend you write down your settings so that you can easily reset them after the upgrade.
Once upgrading the product software is completed, turn off the product and then press and hold (  )
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.
For upgrading purposes, do not format the USB drive in NTFS format because it is not a supported file
system.
Depending on the manufacturer, some USB devices may not be supported.
