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

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.
N 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.
N For the screw specifications, refer to "Standard Screw" in the table on
the previous page.
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.
N Install the TV near the wall so that it does not fall backwards.
N 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.

Providing proper ventilation for your TV

When you install your TV, maintain a distance of at least 4 inches between the TV and 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.
Caution: Pulling, pushing, or climbing on the TV may cause the TV to fall. In particu-
lar, 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.
