Installation Precautions
• Install on a vertical wall only.
• For the installation, avoid a location with high temperature or humidity, or a wall that cannot sustain the
weight of the set.
• Check the strength of the wall. If the wall is not strong enough to support the unit, reinforce the wall or
install the unit on different wall that can support the unit's weight.
• Purchase and use the flxing screws or mollys appropriate for the kind of wall you have (plaster board, iron
board, wood, etc.). If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs.
• Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install it on the wall.
• Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.
1. Place the wall mount bracket on a wall surface and then
secure it with two screws (not supplied).
If you are hanging the unit below a TV, be sure to install the
wall mount bracket so that the arrow ( ) is placed in the
center of the TV.
Also make sure the unit is at least two inches (5 cm)
below the TV.
2. Align the screw holders (Holder-screw, AH61-03342A)
with the screw holes on the back of the Main Unit. Insert
the supplied screws through the screw holders, and then
screw them into the Main Unit.
3. Insert the USB converter into the unit before installing it
on the wall.
4. Fit the unit into the corresponding slots of the wall mount
bracket. For secure installation, make sure the mounting
studs slide firmly down into the bottom of the slots.

BLUETOOTH (HW-F355 MODEL ONLY)
You can use a Bluetooth device to enjoy music with high quality stereo sound, all without wires!
What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetooth-compliant devices to interconnect easily with each other using
a short wireless connection.
• A Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, when:
- A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or the Air
Track.
- It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or office partition.
- It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical equipment,
microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.
• Pair the Air Track with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.
• The further the distance is between Air Track and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is.
If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.
• In poor reception-sensitivity areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.
• The Bluetooth connection only works when the Bluetooth device is close to the set. The connection will be
automatically cut off if the Bluetooth device is out of range. Even within range, the sound quality may be
degraded by obstacles such as walls or doors.
• This wireless device may cause electric interference during its operation.

sOftWare UPgraDe
Samsung may offer upgrades for the Crystal Surround Air Track's system
firmware in the future.
If an upgrade is offered, you can upgrade the firmware by connecting a USB
drive with the firmware upgrade stored on it to the USB port on your Air
Track.
Note that if there are multiple upgrade files, you must load them onto the
USB drive singly and use them to upgrade the firmware one at a time.
Please visit Samsung.com or contact the Samsung call center to receive
more information about downloading upgrades files.
▪
▪
Insert a USB drive containing the firmware upgrade into the USB port on the main unit.
Do not disconnect the power or remove the USB drive while upgrades are being applied. The main unit will turn
off automatically after completing the firmware upgrade.
When software is upgraded, settings you have made will return to their default (factory) settings.
We recommend you write down your settings so that you can easily reset them after the upgrade.
▪
Once upgrading the product software is completed, turn off the product and then press and hold
a while to reset the product.
