If a problem occurs because of the reinstallation of other operating systems(OS) or a previous version of a OS preinstalled 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.

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)

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.

The power cord set (wall plug, cable and AC adapter plug) you received with your computer meets the requirements for use in the country where you purchased your equipment.

Power cord sets for use in other countries must meet the requirements of the country where you use the computer. For more information on power cord set requirements, contact your authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.

General Requirements

The requirements listed below are applicable to all countries:



All power cord sets must be approved by an

acceptable accredited agency responsible for evaluation in the country where the power cord set will be used.

 The power cord set must have a minimum current

capacity of 7 A and a nominal voltage rating of 125 or 250 volts AC, as required by each country’s power system. (USA ONLY)

 The appliance coupler must meet the mechanical

conguration of an EN 60 320/IEC 320 Standard

Sheet C7(or C5) connector, for mating with appliance inlet on the computer.

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.

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.

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) 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.

United States of America

USA and Canada Safety Requirements and Notices

Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.

Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.

Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; if not, the radio may be damaged.

Use in specic environments:

The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.

The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.

Other Wireless Devices

Safety Notices for Other Devices in the Wireless Network: Refer to the documentation supplied with

wireless Ethernet adapters or other devices in the wireless network.

The Part 15 radio device operates on a noninterference basis with other devices operating at this

frequency. Any changes or modication to said product

not expressly approved by Intel could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

Explosive Device Proximity Warning

Do not operate a portable transmitter (such as a wireless network device) near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the device has

been modied to be qualied for such use.

Use On Aircraft Caution

Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency wireless devices because their signals could interfere with critical aircraft instruments.
