When the system is running on battery power, it may
take a few seconds for the connection to be established
when connecting a LAN cable. This is the result of
power saving features designed to reduce battery
consumption.

Troubleshooting

Why is the capacity representation of the hard disk
drive (HDD) in Windows different from the product
specifications?

The capacity of the storage device (HDD or SSD) of the
manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1 KB = 1,000 Bytes.
However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage
device capacity assuming that 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes, and therefore
the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than
the actual capacity. The capacity representation in Windows may
be smaller than the actual capacity because some applications
occupy a certain area of the HDD outside of Windows.

For models with the
capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the
actual capacity because the

Situations that may damage the data of a hard disk drive and
the hard disk drive itself.

•

The data may be lost when an external impact is applied to
the disk while disassembling or assembling the computer.

The data may be lost when the computer is turned off or reset
by a power failure while the hard disk drive is operating.

•

The data may be lost and irrecoverable due to a computer
virus.

•

The data may be lost if the power is turned off while running
an application.

To prevent data loss due to damage to the hard disk drive,
please back up the data frequently.

LCD bad pixels

Samsung observes strict specifications regarding the quality
and reliability of the LCD. However, there is a small chance that
a few pixels may be bad. A large number of bad pixels can cause

Samsung’s quality standards for bad pixels are as follows:

•

Bright dot: 2 or fewer

•

Black dot: 4 or fewer

•

Combination (bright and dark): 4 or fewer

Cleaning the LCD screen

Clean the LCD screen with a soft cloth dampened with computer
cleansing detergent. When cleaning the screen, move the cloth in

Intentional emitter per FCC Part 15

(If fitted with 2.4 G band or 5 G band)
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless

communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Band,
may be present (embedded) in the notebook system. This section
is only applicable if these devices are present. Refer to the system
label to verify the presence of wireless devices.

Wireless devices that may be in the system are only qualified for
use in the United States of America if an FCC ID number is on the
system label.

This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the

5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC requires this product to be
used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce
the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile
Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as primary users
of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar
stations can cause interference with and/or damage this device.

Appendix

Operation of this device is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)

this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify
them in any way.

Modification to a wireless device will void the
authorization to use it. Contact manufacturer for service.

Health and safety information

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information

This product can contain an embedded radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government. These
FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two
expert organizations, the National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations
were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from
industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the
scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.

Before a new model is available for sale to the public, it must be
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit
established by the FCC. Evaluation per each model is performed
in positions and locations (e.g. at the bottom on the body) as
required by the FCC.

100

Appendix

For body worn operation, this model meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with Samsung accessory designated for this
product. Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in
violation of FCC RF exposure guidelines.

RF exposure or SAR information can be viewed on-line at

www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. This site uses this product FCC ID

number on the outside of the product. Sometimes it may be
necessary to remove the battery pack to find number. Once
you have the FCC ID number for a particular product, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide RF exposure
information or values for typical or maximum SAR for particular
product.

For corresponding model only
The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate of

absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units
of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC wireless devices to comply
with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).

SAR level of this device while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate
at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.

101

Appendix

Canada

Unintentional emitter per ICES-003

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio
noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio
interference regulations of Industry Canada.

Intentional emitter per RSS 210

This device complies with RSS 210 of Industry Canada. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of this device.

The term “IC” before the equipment certification number only
signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were
met. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required
for successful communication. To prevent radio interference
to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated
indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding.
Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is
subject to licensing.

(If fitted with 2.4 G band or 5 G band)

Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless
communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Band,

Wireless devices that may be in your system are only qualified for
use in Canada if an Industry Canada ID number is on the system
label.

102

Appendix

When using IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN, this product is restricted to
indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency
range. Industry Canada requires this product to be used indoors
for the frequency range of 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential
for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
High power radar is allocated as the primary user of the 5.25 to

5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can
cause interference with and/or damage to this device.

The maximum allowed antenna gain for use with this device
is 6dBi in order to comply with the E.I.R.P limit for the 5.25 to

5.35 GHz and 5.725 to 5.85 GHz frequency range in point-to-point
operation.

The power output of the wireless device (or devices), which may
be embedded in your notebook, is well below the RF exposure
limits as set by Industry Canada.

Operation of this device is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

To prevent radio interference to licensed service, this
device is intended to be operated indoors and away from
windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or
