Precautions for Operating System Support

If a problem occurs because of the reinstallation of other operating systems(OS) or a
previous version of a OS pre-installed on this computer, or a software that does not
support the OS, the company will not provide technical support, a replacement or
refund, and if our service engineer visits you due to this problem, a service charge will
be applied.

Performance Restrictions

z Online games and some games(3D,2D) may not be supported and Full HD video

and some high bit rate HD video playback may be slow and stutter on this computer.

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)

5

Recovery Solution Representation (Optional)

Q. What is a Recovery Area?

A. - Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover computers or save

backup les. (Only for models with the Samsung Recovery Solution.)
This partition is called a Recovery Area and it includes a recovery image that
comprises of the OS and application programs.

- You can either double-click the Samsung Recovery Solution icon on the desktop

or press F4 while booting the computer to enter the Recovery Area. Then you

can back up the present computer state or recover the computer from backed up

images.

- For deleting the Recovery Area, you need to use an additional Recovery Area
Removal Tool. After deleting the recovery area, you can use the newly created
partition for other uses, such as for saving personal data. Be careful that once the

recovery area is deleted, the Samsung Recovery Solutions will not work anymore.

Q. The capacity representation of the hard disk drive(HDD) in Windows is

different from the product specications.

A. - The capacity of the storage device (HDD) 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. This is due to the difference in capacity calculation and does not

mean the installed HDD is different from the product specications.

- The capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity
because some programs occupy a certain area of the HDD outside of Windows.

- For models with Samsung Recovery Solution, the HDD capacity representation
in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity because Samsung Recovery
Solution uses a hidden area of about 5~20GB of the HDD to save the recovery
image, and that hidden area is not counted towards the total size available to
Windows. The size of Samsung Recovery Solution varies by models because of the
different size of applied programs.

Cautions on Preventing Data Loss (Hard Disk Management)

Take care not to damage the data on a
hard disk drive.

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.

To prevent data loss due to damage to the hard disk drive, please backup your
data frequently.

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 using them 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:

33

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

European Telecommunication

Information (for products tted with

EU-approved modems)

Marking by the symbol indicates
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.

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.

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.
