CAUTION : TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.
• This apparatus shall always be connected to a AC outlet with a protective grounding connection.
• To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, the plug must be pulled out from the mains socket, therefore the mains plug
shall be readily operable.
CAUTION
• Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing. Do not put objects filled with liquids, such as vases on the apparatus.
• To turn this apparatus off completely, you must pull the power plug out of the wall socket. Consequently, the power plug

Wiring the Main Power Supply Plug (UK Only)
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on
the pin face of the plug and if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used. Never use the
plug with the fuse cover removed. If the cover is detachable and a replacement is required, it must be of the same colour as
the fuse fitted in 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 to cutting 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. Never attempt to insert bare wires directly into a mains socket. A plug and fuse must be used at all times.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:– BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE 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.

-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.

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
centre 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
