Internet
security
Samsung takes a number
of
steps
to
protect its Internet-compatible Smart
TVs
against unauthorized incursions and
hacking. For example, certain sensi
tive
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 Smart
TV
and personal 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
of
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
that
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, 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
that
users
install
only those authorized apps provided by Samsung through Sam sung
Smart
Hub.
