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 com-
puter when it is turned on
may damage the data of
the hard disk drive.
■ The company is not liable
for the loss of any data
caused by customer such
as the careless-ness us-
age or bad environmental
condition.
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 comput-
er.
■ The data may be lost
when the computer is
turned off or reset by a
power failure while the
hard disk drive is operat-
ing.
■ 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.
LCD Bad Pixels
The limits of LCD manu-
facturing technology
permit a maximum of 4
abnormal or bad pixels,
which does not affect
the system performance.
This system may have
the same level of abnor-
mal or bad pixels as any
other company’s prod-
ucts.
Cleaning the LCD
When cleaning the LCD
panel, use only comput-
er specific cleaners with
a soft cloth, and lightly
wipe in one direction.
Pressing down hard may
damage the LCD.

Regulatory Compliance Statements
Wireless Guidance
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operat-
ing in the 2.4 GHz 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. Re-
gardless of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during normal opera-
tion.
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 trans-
mitting. (This Statement is not applicable to UMPC(Ultra Mobile PC) such as PDA, Portable PC.)
This transmitter must not be collocated or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmit-
ter except the installed Bluetooth transmitter.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are
listed below:
25
■ Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial air-
craft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling
in an airplane.
802.11B (also known as wireless Ethernet or Wifi) 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 flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited ex-
amples where use of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environ-
ments 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 different 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 restric-
tions on the use of a wireless device in the destination country.
■ If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, do not operate
the wireless device unless all covers and shields are in place and the system is fully as-
sembled.
■ Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification
to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Please contact manufacturer for
service.
■ Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See the manu-
facturer System Restoration Kit, or contact manufacturer Technical Support for additional
information.

European Telecommunication
Information (for products fitted with
EU-approved modems)
Marking by the symbol indicates compliance
of this equipment to the Radio and Telecom
Terminal Equipment Directive 1999/5/EC. Such
marking is indicative that this equipment meets
or exceeds the following technical standards:
CTR 21 – Attachment requirements for pan-Eu-
ropean approval for connection to the analogue
Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTNs)
of TE (excluding TE supporting voice telephony
services) in which network addressing, if provid-
ed, is by means of Dual Tone Multi-Frequency
(DTMF) signaling.
Although this equipment can use ei-
ther loop disconnect (pulse) or DTMF
(tone) signaling, only the performance
of the DTMF signaling is subject to
regulatory requirements for correct
operation.
It is therefore strongly recommended
that the equipment is set to use DTMF
signaling for access to public or private
emergency services. DTMF signaling
also provides faster call setup.
This equipment has been approved to Council
Decision 98/482/EEC—“CTR 21” for Pan-Eu-
ropean single terminal connection to the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
However, due to differences between the indi-
vidual PSTNs provided in different countries,
the approval does not, of itself, give an uncon-
ditional assurance of successful operation on
every PSTN termination point. In the event of
problems, you should contact manufacturer
Technical Support.

Battery Usage Time Information
A battery is an expendable supply, so
when using it over a long time, the ca-
pacity/battery life is shortened. If the
battery life is reduced to under half of its
initial time, we recommend purchasing a
new battery.
For long periods of not using the battery,
keep the battery after discharging it. This
extends the battery life time.

Q
The Wireless LAN device is operating properly, but I cannot connect to the
Internet or to another computer.
► This is due to an incorrect configuration, or a configuration error. Check the
following:
A1 If you are using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network connection, check that
the name of the configured network (SSID) is correct.
A2 If you are using a network key (encryption key), you have to use the same network
key for an AP (Access Point) or a computer-to-computer network (Ad Hoc). The
network key of the AP is configured in the AP management program. Ask your net-
work administrator or AP manager for more detailed information.
A3 Check that the device driver is installed properly. If the driver is not properly in-
stalled, you will find a yellow exclamation mark on the network icon by clicking
Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Device Manager > Network
Adapter.
Q
The signal strength is excellent, but I cannot connect to the network.
► Even if the signal strength is excellent, the network connection may not oper-
ate properly if the TCP/IP properties are not properly configured, or the net-
work key (encryption key) is incorrect.
A Check that the TCP/IP properties are configured properly. When connecting to an
AP, right-click the Network Connections (
) icon on the taskbar and select Net-
work and Sharing Center. If you click the View Status next to a connected wire-
less network device and then click the Detail button, you can view the IP informa-
tion. If the IP is not allocated properly, the IP address will be displayed as follows
(e.g. 169.254.xxx.xxx).
If the network does not provide DHCP, you have to specify the correct IP address
by asking your network administrator.
Wireless Network (WLAN) Related
184
Even if the network provides DHCP, the server may not allocate an IP address to
the client properly, and the client station cannot connect to the network.
Q
I cannot connect to the AP.
► Check the Computer Settings
A1 Verify whether the wireless LAN function of the computer is on by performing the
following. If the wireless LAN function is off, turn it on.
● For Windows Vista, verify that the wireless network connection has been set to
Enable in Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Shar-
ing Center > Manage Network Connections. If the wireless LAN is set to Do
Not Use, right-click and select Use.
● Check if the wireless LAN is turned on.
A2 Verify whether the same network key (encryption key) has been entered for both
the AP and the computer. The network key is an encryption key for encrypting the
data transmitted between the AP and the computer. It is recommended setting the
network key manually.
► Check the AP Settings
For the AP settings, refer to the User Guide provided by the AP manufacturer.
A3 Verify whether the environment is suitable for using a wireless LAN. The use of a
wireless LAN may be restricted according to the environment and distance. Obsta-
cles such as walls or doors affect the use of a wireless LAN. Install the AP in a high
and open space, 50cm from the wall and far removed from any other radio signal
sources.
A4 Verify whether the AP is operating properly.
● When the AP is not operating normally, turn off the AP, wait a short while, and
turn it on again.
185
● Verify whether the AP’s firmware is the most recent version. (Contact the AP
manufacturer or the place where you purchased the AP for details of the AP firm-
ware.)
A5 Verify whether the AP has been properly connected to the network. Verify whether
the network is operating normally by connecting the wired network cable, which
has been connected to the AP, to your computer.
A6 Check the network key settings (encryption key) again. When automatic code con-
version (a passphrase function) has been selected and data communication is not
functioning even with a normal wireless connection, it is recommended entering the
network key (encryption key) manually.
A7 Check the AP settings as follows. (The following is recommended for a standard
environment and thus may differ according to the specific wireless network environ-
ment.)
● When several APs are present simultaneously, check the channel settings for
each AP. When different APs are using nearby channels, interference may oc-
cur between the electronic waves. Set the AP channels further apart from each
other.
(Ex: Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13)
● When an AP’s SSID (Service Set ID) option is set to “Hide”, you cannot search
for that AP on the computer. We recommend unselecting the “Hide” option for the
AP. The SSID is a name used for distinguishing one wireless LAN from another
wireless LAN.
● It is recommended using Long Preamble. Preamble is a signal for data transmis-
sion synchronization. Short Preamble may be supported by some types of APs
but may cause compatibility problems.
● It is recommended using a static IP.
● Since static channel selection is more reliable than auto channel selection, it is
recommended using a static channel.
186
Q
When connecting to a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network, I cannot
connect to another computer on the same computer-to-computer network.
A1 Make sure that the security settings and network name of the computer-to-comput-
er (Ad Hoc) network are correct.
A2 Check the TCP/IP properties of the computers to be connected through the com-
puter-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network. All computers to be connected through the
computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network should be configured so that their IP ad-
dresses are within the same subnet range.
● If the TCP/IP Settings are configured to DHCP, the address is automatically con-
figured to an address within the subnet IP range. This will take about 2~3 min-
utes.
● If the IP address is configured to a static IP in the TCP/IP properties, select
Use the following IP address in the TCP/IP properties of the wireless adapter,
configure an IP address between 10.0.0.1~10.0.0.254, and a Subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, and try again.
● A fixed IP is recommended for a small-sized network.
● If you are using a DHCP IP address, the system boot time may be extended.
Q
When using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network, sometimes I cannot
search the access point.
A It may happen occasionally when you are using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc)
network connection. Even if you cannot find some access points, the computer-to-
computer (Ad Hoc) network is operating properly. Click Refresh to view the latest
search result.
187
Q
The network does not operate properly when both the wireless and the
wired network connections are simultaneously configured with the same IP
address.
A You cannot use the wireless and the wired network connections using the same IP
address simultaneously. To use either the wireless or the wired network in turn with
the same IP address, you have to Disable whichever network device will not be
used in the network connection of the Control Panel.
Q
The wireless LAN does not work properly when there is a device operating
on an adjacent frequency in the vicinity of the product.
A1 Channel interference may occur when a wireless video transceiver or a microwave
oven is being used. If you experience channel interference from other equipment,
we recommended changing the channel for connecting to the AP. For more infor-
mation about AP settings, refer to the User Manual supplied by the AP manufac-
turer.
A2 Since IEEE802.11g equipment operates in hybrid mode when there is active
IEEE802.11b equipment, the data rate may be degraded.
Q
After Wireless LAN Setup Program is installed, The “AEGIS Protocol (IEEE
802.1x) v2.2.1.0” appears in the [Local Area Connection Properties] window.
A The AEGIS Protocol is a security authentication protocol that is automatically in-
stalled when Wireless LAN Setup Program is installed and does not affect the op-
eration of other programs.
188
Game and Program Related

Q
The picture is not displayed properly for some games.
A Some games such as ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’, ‘Harry Potter and
the Chamber of Secrets’, etc. may not display the picture properly when the screen
resolution is set to 1024x768 and the color quality is set to 32 bit.
For these games, set the screen resolution to 1024x768, and the color quality to 16
bit.
190
Q
The game is not displayed smoothly on the screen.
A For 3D games, the texture data for the 3D screen display is saved to the system
memory.
If there is insufficient system memory, the data is saved to the hard disk drive and
loaded to memory when required. This operation may temporarily stop displaying
the picture on the screen.
In this case, lower the game resolution or the screen settings.
Q
If I run a program, an error message appears or the program does not launch.
A This may happen when the program does not support the 800x480 pixels resolu-
tion.
This is caused by a program that is designed for a minimum resolution of 800x600
pixels and fails to support a resolution lower than its minimum resolution.
In this case, change the screen resolution to 800x600 pixels or press the Auto
Scaler button to change the resolution.

Q
The User Controls window appears when installing or running a program in
Windows Vista.
A In this case, click Allow (or OK) to install or run the program. However, if you do
not have an administrator account, you have to enter the administrator password
in the User Controls window and then click Allow (or OK). If no administrator pass-
word is set you can click Allow (or OK) without entering a password.
Q
How can I install the program?
A You can additionally purchase and install the following devices for UMPC. (See the
Installing Programs section of the ‘Getting Started Guide’.
● External USB ODD dedicated to UMPC or Compatible External USB ODD
● External USB HDD
● USB Data Cable
● LAN Cable (direct cable or cross cable), etc. : Since the usage of a direct cable
is the same as that of a cross cable, refer to the ‘Getting Started Guide’.
Q
I have turned the LCD screen off with a portable USB keyboard, but I cannot
turn it on again.
A When you are using an optional Portable USB Keyboard Dedicated to UMPC, if
you have turned the Backlit OFF (Screen Off) by pressing the <Fn>+<F5> keys,
press the <Fn>+<F5> keys on the keyboard again to turn the Backlit ON (Screen
On).
193
Q
I want to replace the pointing stick cap of a portable USB keyboard.
A A portable USB keyboard has a pointing stick that can be used instead of a mouse.
Since a spare pointing stick cap is supplied when you purchase a USB keyboard,
you can remove the cap and then insert a new one if necessary.
Q
I want to move the pointer on a rotated screen according to the actual
movement of the input device such as a Stylus Pen or mouse.
A Using the Button Mouse function, you can move the pointer on a rotated screen ac-
cording to the actual movement.
(e.g. If you move the joystick upwards of its default direction, the pointer moves
upward in a rotated screen. The default direction means the direction of the joystick
before the screen is rotated.)
When you use the Rotation function, use the Stylus Pen or an external USB
mouse.
The Button Mouse function refers to a function that moves the pointer by moving a
joystick while holding down the Menu button. (See the Using Buttons section of the
‘Getting Started Guide’.)
Q
The Rotation function does not work.
A Launch the ‘Setup.exe’ file in the C:\Program Files\samsung\Graphics Driver
folder. If you have reinstalled Windows, reinstall the graphics driver using the ‘Sys-
tem Software Media’ supplied with the computer.

About the Product Capacity Representation Standard
The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated as-
suming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes.
However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity as-
suming 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 calcula-
tion. (E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 74.5GB)
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.

Glossary
The Glossary lists the terminologies used in this User Guide.
For terminologies other than these, look in Windows Help.
Backup
A way to save the current data to restore
it later if necessary. A backup is a way to
restore computer data when the data or
computer is damaged.
Client
This refers to a computer that uses a
shared network resource provided by a
server.
DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access
Memory)
DRAM is a memory type whose cells con-
sist of a capacitor and transistor manufac-
tured at a low price. SDRAM is a memory
type whose performance has been im-
proved by synchronizing the clock with
the external CPU clock. DDR SDRAM is
a memory type whose performance has
been improved by doubling the operat-
ing speed of the SDRAM and is widely
used nowadays. This computer uses DDR
SDRAM.
Device Manager
An administrative tool used to manage
computer devices. You can add or remove
hardware or update a device driver using
the Device Manager.
Direct X
An application interface developed to en-
able Windows application programs to
access hardware devices at a very high
speed. Since the operating speed of graph-
ics, memory and sound cards must be
very fast to provide high quality video and
sound for games, Direct X enables faster
control and interaction between applica-
tions and hardware devices. By using
Direct X, the multimedia performance of
Windows has been hugely improved.
Driver
Software that interacts between the hard-
ware and the operating system. An operat-
ing system knows the hardware informa-
tion and controls the hardware. In general,
a driver is supplied with the corresponding
hardware device.
DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)
DVD was developed to replace CD (com-
pact disk). Although the shape and size of
the disc are the same as that of a CD, the
capacity of a DVD is at least 4.7GB while
the capacity of a CD is 600MB. DVD video
is digital unlike VHS (analog) video and
supports MPEG2 compression and digital
audio. To play a DVD, a DVD drive is re-
quired.
200
Firewall
A security system used to protect an in-
ternal network or intranet from external
networks through an authentication proce-
dure.
Hibernation Mode
A power mode that saves all data in mem-
ory to the hard disk and turns the CPU and
hard disk off. When canceling Hibernation
Mode, all application programs that were
running are restored to their last state.
Icon
This refers to a small image that repre-
sents a file that users can use.
LAN (Local Area Network)
A communications network connecting
computers, printers and other devices
within a local area such as within a build-
ing. A LAN enables all connected devices
to interact with other devices on the net-
work. The current LAN uses the Ethernet
media access control method developed in
the early 1980s. To connect to an Ethernet,
a network card called a LAN card, Ethernet
card or network interface card is required.
To exchange data between computers, a
protocol is required besides the hardware
equipment. Windows Vista uses TCP/IP as
the default protocol.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
There are Passive Matrix and Active Matrix
LCD types. This computer uses the Active
Matrix type LCD called a TFT LCD. Since
an LCD is implemented by transistors in-
stead of a cathode-ray tube unlike a CRT,
its size can be slim. And because it does
not blink, it reduces eye strain.
Network
A group of computers and devices, such
as printers and scanners, connected by
a communications link. A network can be
either small or large and can be connected
permanently through cables or temporar-
ily through telephone lines or wireless
links. The biggest network is the Internet, a
worldwide network.
Network Administrator
A user who plans, configures and manages
network operations. Sometimes, a network
administrator is called a system administra-
tor.
Notification Area
This refers to the right area of the Task-
bar including program icons such as the
volume control, the power options and the
time.
201
Power Schemes
This refers to a pre-determined power
management option group. For example,
you can set the time the computer waits
before entering Standby Mode, or before
the monitor or hard drive turns off. The
settings are saved as a power scheme.
Quick Launch
This refers to a toolbar that can be con-
figured so that you can launch a program
such as Internet Explorer or display the
Windows Desktop with one click. You can
add any icon to the quick launch area of
the Taskbar and launch frequently used
program by clicking that icon.
Server
In general, a server refers to a computer
that provides shared resources for network
users.
Share
This refers to setting a resource of a com-
puter such as a folder or printer so that
other users can also use it.
Shared Folder
A folder that can be used by other users on
the network.
Sleep Mode
A power mode that enables computers
to save power consumption when they
are not being used. When a computer is
in Sleep Mode, the data on the computer
memory is not saved to the hard disk. If the
power is tuned off, the data in memory will
be lost.
System File
System Files refer to files that are read and
used by the Windows operating system. In
general, system files must not be deleted
or moved.
USB (Universal Serial Bus)
This refers to a serial interface standard
developed to replace the conventional in-
terface standards such as Serial and PS/2.
While USB 1.1 supports 12Mbps (12 mil-
lion bits per second), USB 2.0 supports a
data rate that is 40 times (480Mpbs) faster
than that of USB 1.1. The data rate of
USB 2.0 is equivalent to that of IEEE1394.
Therefore USB 2.0 is used for A/V devices
supported by IEEE 1394 and a 2nd HDD
and CDRW that require a high data rate.
Windows
The name of an operating system devel-
oped by the Microsoft Corporation. Win-
dows Vista is installed on this computer.
Windows Media Player
A multimedia program included with Win-
dows. Using this program, you can play a
media file, create an audio CD, listen to a
radio broadcast, search and manage me-
dia files, and copy files to a portable de-
vice, etc.
