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 lesser 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) The actual
capacity of storage device can be checked in the Main menu of the BIOS Setup, accessible by pressing F2 key during
boot.

For further instructions on how to enter the BIOS Setup, refer to "BIOS Setup" in the User Guide.

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 of f 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.

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:

30

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.

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 Multi­Frequency (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.
