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)

Recovery Solution Representation (Optional)
What is a Recovery Area?
Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover t
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 t
icon on the desktop or press 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 t
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 t
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 t
actual capacity because some programs occupy a certain area of
the HDD outside of Windows.
For models with Samsung Recovery Solution, the HDD capacity t
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.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices.
Examples of common restrictions are listed on the next page:
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere t
with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation
regulations require wireless devices to be turned o while

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 t
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 t
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 t
