About the Product Capacity Representation Standard

About HDD Capacity Representation

The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that
1KB=1,000 Bytes.

However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming
that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is
smaller than the actual capacity due to the difference in capacity calculation.

(E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 74.5GB, 80x1,000x1,000x1,000
byte/(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte = 74.505GB)

In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even smaller because some
programs such as Recovery Solution may reside in a hidden area of the HDD.

About Memory Capacity Representation

The memory capacity reported in Windows is less than the actual capacity of memory.
This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses a portion of memory or claims it for further use.
(E.g. For 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may report the capacity as 1,022MB or

less)

 A hard disk drive is so sensitive to external impact

that an external impact may cause loss of data on the

surface of the disk.

 Take extra care, because moving the computer or

an impact on the computer when it is turned on may

damage the data of the hard disk drive.

 The company is not liable for any loss of any data

caused by a customer’s careless usage or bad
environmental conditions.

Causes 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 infection.

 The data may be lost if the power is turned off while

running a program.

 Moving or causing an impact to the computer while

the hard disk drive is operating, may cause les to be
corrupted or bad sectors on the hard disk.

Wireless Guidance

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

operating in the 2.4GHz/ 5GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your notebook system.

The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating a wireless device.

Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specic countries are listed in the specic

country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your system are only

qualied for use in the countries identied by the Radio Approval Marks on the system rating

label. If the country you will be using the wireless device in, is not listed, please contact your
local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use
may not be allowed.

The RF eld strength of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your notebook
are well below all international RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the wireless
devices (which may be embedded into your notebook) emit less energy than is allowed in radio

frequency safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer believes these devices are

safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact

during normal operation.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common

restrictions are listed on the next page:

Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial



aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while
traveling in an airplane.

802.11ABGN (also known as wireless Ethernet or Wi-Fi) and Bluetooth communication

devices are examples of devices that provide wireless communication.

In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is harmful



or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be restricted or

eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or ammable gas laden atmospheres are

limited examples where use of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When

in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask
the applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.

Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since your



system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling between countries with your

system, check with the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any move or trip for

any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in the destination country.

If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, do not



operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields are in place and the system
is fully assembled.

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



to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Please contact manufacturer

for service.

Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See the



manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact manufacturer Technical Support for
additional information.

compliance of this equipment to the Radio

and Telecom Terminal Equipment Directive

1999/5/EC. Such marking is indicative

that this equipment meets or exceeds the
following technical standards:

CTR 21 - Attachment requirements for
pan-European approval for connection to
the analogue Public Switched Telephone

Networks (PSTNs) of TE (excluding TE

supporting voice telephony services) in

which network addressing, if provided, is by

means of Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF)
signaling.

This equipment has been approved to Council

Decision 98/482/EEC - “CTR 21” for Pan-

European single terminal connection to the

Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

However, due to differences between the
individual PSTNs provided in different
countries, the approval does not, of itself, give
an unconditional assurance of successful
operation on every PSTN termination point.
In the event of problems, you should contact
manufacturer Technical Support.

Although this equipment can use
either loop disconnect (pulse) or
DTMF (tone) signaling, only the
performance of the DTMF signaling
is subject to regulatory requirements
for correct operation.

It is therefore strongly
recommended that the equipment
is set to use DTMF signaling
for access to public or private
emergency services. DTMF
signaling also provides faster call
setup.

Battery Usage Time Information

A battery is an expendable supply, so when
using it over a long time, the capacity/battery
life is shortened. If the battery life is reduced
to under half of its initial time, we recommend
purchasing a new battery.

When not using the battery for a long time,
store the battery after charging it to 30-40%
of its capacity. This extends the battery life
time.
