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)

Wireless Guidance

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.

As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device
and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include
extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the
body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.

This transmitter must not be collocated or operate in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter except the installed Bluetooth transmitter.

Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common
restrictions are listed on the next page:

33

34

 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) 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.

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.

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.

Types of Wireless LAN Connections

The types of wireless LAN connections
are as follows. The following describes
how to use the wireless LAN based on
AP connections.

 AP Connections
You can connect to the Internet or a

computer on the network by connecting
to AP on an AP-enabled network.

What is Access Point (AP)?

AP is a network device that connects

wired LAN to wireless LAN and
corresponds to the wireless hub of a

wired network. Also, AP allows you

to connect more than one computer
where wireless LAN is enabled.

 Small Ofce Network

The small ofce network interconnects

computers where wireless LAN is
enabled wirelessly and is called Peer­to-Peer (or Ad HOC). This method

enables the conguration of a small
ofce network in one computer.

Then, another computer is connected
to the computer wirelessly for
communications.

For more information on how to

establish connections, see the
information from Start > Help and
Support > Networking and Web.

When you use Ad-Hoc, you have to

change the McAfee Firewall settings.

Connecting to computer-to-computer networks
(peer-to-peer or ad hoc)

In computer-to-computer wireless networks, you can wirelessly connect 2 or more

computers that have wireless LAN modules. Using this method, a computer that is
not connected to the Internet can share the Internet by accessing another computer
connected to the Internet.

You can connect by completing the following steps:

 Step 1. Set up a computer-to-computer network on a computer.
 Step 2. Connect to the congured computer from other computers.
