Performance Information and Restriction
Online games and some games(3D,2D) may not be supported and Full HD video and some high bit rate HD video playback may be slow and stutter on this computer.
If the main board goes out of order, the data saved on the storage device cannot be used due to the characteristics of this product.
Make sure that you always back up all your important data.
About the Product Capacity Representation Standard
About the capacity representation of the storage
The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes.
The operating system (Windows) calculates the capacity of the storage device assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the representation of the storage device capacity in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity due to the dierence in the capacity calculation. (E.g. For an 80GB storage device, the capacity is represented as
74.5GB by the operating system. 80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/ (1,024x1,024x1,024)byte=74.505GB)
Windows may also display a smaller hard disk capacity due to some hidden functions or software programs such as the Recovery program.
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 data on the hard disk
drive.
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 o 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 o while running a
program.
Sudden impact or movement 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.

Using the Power Supply in an Airplane
Since the power outlet type diers depending on the type of airplane, connect the power appropriately.
Since the representative gures of the power plug and the auto adapter are used, they may dier from the actual parts.
When Using the AC Power Plug
Connect the power plug pins perpendicular into the center of the power outlet.
If the plug pins are not inserted into the center of the holes, the
plug pins are only inserted up to half their length. In this case, reconnect the power plug.
You have to insert the power plug into the outlet when the
power indicator (LED) of the power outlet is lit green. If the power is connected properly, the power indicator (LED) remains green. Otherwise, the power indicator (LED) is turned o. In this case, unplug the power, check if the power indicator (LED) is green, and then reconnect the power plug.

Saving battery power consumption
Decreases the LCD brightness when the computer
is running on battery power to save battery power consumption.
LCD bad pixels principle of computer
Samsung observes the specications regarding strict
quality and reliability of LCD. But in spite of that, it is inevitable that there might be a small number of bad pixels. A large number of bad pixels can cause problems in appearance, but a small number of pixels doesn’t aect the computer performance.
Therefore Samsung observes and manages the following
dot principles:
- Bright dot : 2 or less
- Black dot : 4 or less
- Combination of Bright and Dark : 4 or less
Instructions for Cleaning the LCD
Clean the LCD panel with a soft cloth lightly moistened with computer cleansing detergent moving in one direction.
Cleaning the LCD panel with excessive force can damage the LCD.

Health and safety information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Certication Information (SAR)
This product can contain an embedded radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientic and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientic literature related to the biological eects of RF energy.
SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a new model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certied to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the bottom on the body) as required by the FCC.
For body worn operation, this model has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with Samsung accessory designated for this product. Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF exposure
guidelines. The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless devices to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the wireless transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied power level, the actual
SAR information on this and other model can be viewed on-line
at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. This site uses this product FCC
ID number on the outside of the product. Sometimes it may be
necessary to remove the battery pack to nd the number. Once
you have the FCC ID number for a particular product, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical
or maximum SAR for a particular product.
