Precautions for Operating System Support

The operating system (OS) installed on this product is the latest version of Windows Vista.

Other operating systems (Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows 2003 server, UNIX and LINUX, other Windows Vista versions, etc.) other than the operating system already installed on this computer are not supported.

If a problem occurs because of the installation of another operating system, 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.

In addition, installing a program that does not support Windows Vista, may cause the program to not work properly.

In this case, ask the corresponding software manufacturer about the problem. If you request our services to resolve a problem caused by incompatible software, 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)

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.

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.

Laser Safety

All systems equipped with CD or DVD drives comply with the appropriate safety standards, including IEC 60825-

1. The laser devices in these components are classied

as “Class 1 Laser Products” under a US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard. Should the unit ever need servicing, contact an authorized service location.

 Laser Safety Note:

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of

procedures other than those specied in this manual

may result in hazardous radiation exposure. To prevent exposure to laser beams, do not try to open the enclosure of a CD or DVD drive.



Class 1M laser radiation when operating part is

open.

Do not view directly with optical instruments.

 Class 3B invisible laser radiation when open.

Avoid exposure to the beam.

Connect and Disconnect the AC adapter

The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

Do not unplug the power cord out by pulling the cable only.

Power Cord Requirements

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:

The length of the power cord set must be at least 6.00



feet (1.8m) and a maximum of 9.75 feet (3.0m).



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.



The appliance coupler must meet the mechanical

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

Sheet C7 connector, for mating with appliance inlet on the computer.

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:
