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.

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 specic countries are listed in the specic
country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your system are only
qualied for use in the countries identied 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:
28
Page 29
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.
Modication 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.
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.

life is shortened. If the battery life is reduced
to under half of its initial time, we recommend
purchasing a new battery.
For long periods of not using the battery,
keep the battery after discharging it. This
