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 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)
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.
7
Chapter 1.
Getting Started
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)
For more information, refer to the Samsung Recovery Solution
section.

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,

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

Recovery Solution Representation (Optional)
What is a Recovery Area?
Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover •
computers or save backup les.
(Only for models with the Samsung Recovery Solution.)
This partition is called a Recovery Area and it includes a recovery
image that comprises of the OS and application programs.
You can either double-click the Samsung Recovery Solution icon •
on the desktop or press F4 while booting the computer to enter
the Recovery Area. Then you can back up the present computer
state or recover the computer from backed up images.
For deleting the Recovery Area, you need to use an additional •
Recovery Area Removal Tool. After deleting the recovery area,
you can use the newly created partition for other uses, such as
for saving personal data. Be careful that once the recovery area is
deleted, the Samsung Recovery Solutions will not work anymore.
The capacity representation of the hard disk drive(HDD)
in Windows is dierent from the product specications.
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.
This is due to the dierence in capacity calculation and does
not mean the installed HDD is dierent from the product
specications.
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 Samsung Recovery Solution, the HDD capacity •
representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual
capacity because Samsung Recovery Solution 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 Samsung Recovery Solution varies by models because
of the dierent size of applied programs.

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
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.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices.
Examples of common restrictions are listed on the next page:
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.
139
Chapter 5.
Appendix
Regulatory Compliance Statements
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.
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
assembled.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify •
them in any way. Modication 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 manufacturer System
Restoration Kit, or contact manufacturer Technical Support
for additional information.

Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the
antenna is very close or touching any exposed parts of the body,
especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the
antenna is connected; if not, the radio may be damaged.
Use in specic environments:
The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the
constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.
The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA).
The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits
set forth by each hospital.

DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)
DVD was developed to replace CD (compact 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
required.
Firewall
A security system used to protect an internal network or intranet
from external networks through an authentication procedure.
HDMI
This is a digital video / audio interface specication that transmits
video and audio signals over a single cable.

LAN (Local Area Network)
A communications network connecting computers, printers and
other devices within a local area such as within a building. A LAN
enables all connected devices to interact with other devices on the
network. 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 instead of a cathode-ray tube
unlike a CRT, its size can be slim. And because it does not blink, it
reduces eye strain.
