02 TV Installation

Providing proper ventilation for your TV

When you install your TV, maintain a distance of at least 10 cm 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 without a stand, 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.

Arranging the cables with the cable guide

When you install your TV without a stand, arrange the cables with the cable guide as shown in the figure below:

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 destabilise 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.

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:

Always use cabinets or stands or mounting methods recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
Always use furniture that can safely support the television set.
Always ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
Always educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.

Never place the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.
Never place items that might tempt children to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the television or furniture on which the television is placed.
