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.
Constraints of the Operating System
The Windows XP Home operating system does not support the function that allows
characters to be written directly.
Performance Restrictions

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)

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.
25

Proper Posture During Computer Use

Maintaining a proper posture during computer use is very important to prevent physical
harm.
The following instructions are about maintaining a proper posture during computer use
developed through human engineering. Please read and follow them carefully when using the computer.
Otherwise, the probability of (RSI: Repetitive Strain Injury) from repeated operations may increase and serious physical harm may be caused.
The instructions in this manual have been prepared so that they can be applied
within the coverage of general users. If the user is not included in the coverage, the recommendation is to be applied according to the user’s needs.
Since this is commonly applied to Samsung Computers, some gures may differ from actual product.
Proper Posture
Do not use the computer on your lap or
close to your skin for a long time.
There is a danger of burns due to the
high temperature of the computer.
To use the computer while talking over
the telephone, use the ear-microphone
phone.
When using the computer while holding
a phone over your shoulder and talking on the phone, your posture becomes
bad.
Keep frequently used work items within
an easy working range (where you can
reach them with your hands easily).
Eye Position
Keep a distance of at least 50cm between the LCD and your eyes.
Adjust the height of the LCD screen so
that its top height is equal to or lower
than your eyes.
Avoid setting the LCD excessively
bright.
