First check the network status and ensure there is an Internet connection. Internet access is required to use the evolution kit.

Remove the USB device from the TV before installing the Evolution Kit. If the USB device is connected to the TV, the Evolution Kit may not be installed properly.

By mounting the evolution kit onto your existing Samsung TV, you can upgrade the TV’s software without purchasing a new TV. Use the evolution kit to unlock the new features and services offered by Samsung Electronics.

1 The TV must first be updated to the latest software version. Navigate to Software Update (Support > Software Update) and update the software using Online.

Also check out below for more information on how to update.

2 Turn off the TV and then insert the Evolution Kit into the two slots as shown in the diagram below.

a) Remove the sticky label from the back of the TV which is labled 'Evolution Kit',

b) Remove the rubber cover from the large plug connector on the Evolution kit itself,

c) Line up the Evolution Kit with the two slots as shown in the diagram below and insert it in

(d) Swing the Evolution Kit round into place as if closing a door; this will align the large connector of the Evolution Kit to the large socket of the TV.

Ensure that the Evolution Kit is attached securely by pushing it towards the rear of the TV until you feel a click (you will need to support the TV while you are pushing against it)

3 Turn on the TV using the Smart Touch Remote unit accompanying the Evolution Kit and wait for the TV to recognize the kit. The recognition takes about 1 minute.

4 Following the on-screen instructions to upgrade the TV. Once the upgrade is complete, the TV will turn off and then back on automatically.

5 Next you will see the new Smart TV Welcome video followed by an Evolution Kit installation screen.Press the Select button on your remote control to activate the Start button on screen.

6 Follow the on-screen menus and prompts to succesfully install your Evolution Kit to your Samsung television.

The Pre-Mounting Checklist:

Before snapping the evolution kit into place, ensure that the other end of the kit has been inserted securely into the two slots. The kit may be damaged if you continue without securely positioning the kit inside the slots.

If you are mounting the kit onto a wall mounted TV, remove the TV from the wall first.

Mounting an evolution kit that has been used on a different TV will reset the user data contained in the kit.
