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 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
(8 >®Settings>

.
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
