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

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 dierence 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.

LCD bad pixels principle of computer•
Samsung observes the specications 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 aect 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

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
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere •
with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation
regulations require wireless devices to be turned o 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 dierent 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.

Health and safety information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certication 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 scientic and engineering experts drawn from
industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the
scientic literature related to the biological eects 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 certied 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 Specic 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
certied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certied 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.
