Performance Information and Restriction
This computer automatically maintains the CPU and GPU clock •
speed at every moment to control the heating and power
consumption of the computer for minimum performance
degradation.
For best computer performance:
1. Connect the AC adapter.
2. Launch Settings software, and select General > Max.
Performance Mode > Activate max. performance mode.
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.
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.
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 dierence 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)
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)

Q1
What is a Recovery Area?
A
Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover
computers or save backup les. (Only for models with the
Recovery.)
This partition is called a Recovery Area and it includes a
recovery image that comprises of the OS and application
programs.
Q2
The capacity representation of the hard disk
drive(HDD) in Windows is dierent from the product
specications.
A
The capacity of the storage device (HDD) 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.
The capacity representation in Windows may be smaller
than the actual capacity because some programs occupy a
certain area of the HDD outside of Windows.
For models with Recovery, the HDD capacity representation
in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity because
Recovery uses a hidden area of about 5~20GB of the HDD
to save the recovery image, and that hidden area is not
counted towards the total size available to Windows.
The size of Recovery varies by models because of the
dierent size of applied programs.
Q3
What is a recovery image?
A
This refers to the computer status (including operating
system, specic driver(s), software(s), etc.) which is converted
to a data image. It is required to recover your computer and
is embedded in the computer's hard disk. However, this is
not provided for storage devices where the capacity is less
than 64 GB due to the small capacity.

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.
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 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.
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.

RF Exposure (for corresponding 3G models only)
General Statement on RF energy
Your wireless WAN embedded PC contains a transmitter and a
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When
you communicate with your Notebook PC, the system handling
your connection controls the power level at which your Notebook
PC transmits.
Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) certication information
This wireless WAN embedded PC is included a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure
to radio waves recommended by international guidelines.
These guidelines were developed by the independent scientic
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure
the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specic
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2.0 W/
kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the
body was 0.565 W/kg. (SAR measurement distance is 0 cm from
the phantom)
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices highest transmitting
power the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically
below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to
the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum
level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientic
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions
for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce
your exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls to
keep the mobile devices away from the head and body.
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) elds
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to
RF elds, the World Health Organisation (WHO) provides the
following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientic information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of the
Notebook PC. If individuals are concerned, they might choose
to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the
length of connections.
