Internet Security

Samsung takes a number of steps to protect its Internet-compatible Smart TVs against unauthorized incursions

and hacking. For example, certain sensitive communications between the TV and the Internet servers

are encrypted. In addition, the TV's operating system has adopted controls to prevent the installation of

unauthorized applications.

Although we take steps to protect your SmartTV and information, no Internet-connected device or

transmission is completely secure. We therefore encourage you to take additional steps to safeguard your TV,

secure your Internet connection, and minimize the risk of unauthorized access. These steps are listed below:

• When Samsung releases software updates to improve the security on your TV, you should promptly install

these updates. To automatically receive these updates, turn on "Auto Update" in the TV's menu (Support

> Software Update > Auto Update). When an update is available, a popup message appears on the TV

screen. Accept the software download and update by selecting YES when prompted. Take steps to secure

your wireless router and network. Your router's manual should provide additional details about how to

implement the following measures:

• Secure your wireless router's management settings with a unique password to prevent unauthorized

changes to security related settings.

• Implement standard encryption (e.g., WPA2 encryption) on your wireless router to secure your

wireless network signal.

• Secure access to your wireless network with a hard-to-guess password.

• Confirm your router's firewall setting is enabled (if so equipped).

• Make sure all your Internet connected devices are behind your network's firewall.

• If your router or modem has a standby mode button, use it to disconnect your home network from the

Internet when it is not in use.

• Use strong passwords for all your Internet accounts (Netflix, Facebook, Skype, etc.). If your TV has a

camera, recess the camera into the TV's bezel when it is not in use. Recessing the camera makes it

inoperative.

• If any unexpected messages appear on your TV screen requesting permission to link a device or enable a

remote session, do NOT accept.

• Do not visit suspicious web sites and do not install any suspicious programs. We recommend users install

only those authorized apps provided by Samsung through Samsung Smart Hub.
