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 files 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.

21

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.

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.

Proper Posture

Adjust the heights of desks and chairs appropriate to your height.

The heights are to be adjusted so that your arm forms a right angle when you place your hand over the keyboard while sitting down on a chair.

Adjust the height of chair so that your heel is comfortably placed on the floor.

Keep the center of your leg weight not on the chair but on your feet when you are sitting on a chair.

To use the computer while talking over the telephone, use a headset. Using the computer with the phone on your shoulder is bad for posture.

Keep frequently used items within a comfortable work range (where you can reach them with your hands).

22

Eye Position

Keep the monitor or LCD away from your eyes by at least 50cm.

50cm

Hand Position

Keep your arm at a right angle as shown by the figure.

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 configuration 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 specific countries are listed in the specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your system are only qualified for use in the countries identified 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 field 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:
