When connected to a 100 Mbps/1 Gbps wired LAN, a
message appears informing the user of connection to
a 10 Mbps/100 Mbps wired LAN when the computer
wakes from sleep mode. This happens because
restoring the network takes about 3 seconds. When the
network is restored, the computer will be connected to
the 100 Mbps/1 Gbps LAN.
•
When the system is running on battery power, it may
take a few seconds for the connection to be established
when connecting a LAN cable. This is the result of
power saving features designed to reduce battery
consumption.

What is a recovery image?
This refers to the operating system, drivers, and software that are
converted to a data image. It is required to recover the computer
and is embedded in the computers HDD. However, this is not
provided for storage devices where the capacity is less than 64 GB,
due to their small capacities.
How can I restore a computer that does not have the
Samsung Recovery application?
Restore the computer with the recovery function provided by
Windows. Refer to the Recover Functionality item in the help for
more details.
Why is the capacity representation of the hard disk
drive (HDD) in Windows different from the product
specifications?
The capacity of the storage device (HDD or SSD) of the
manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1 KB = 1,000 Bytes.
However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage
device capacity assuming that 1 KB = 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 applications
occupy a certain area of the HDD outside of Windows.
For models with the
Samsung Recovery
application, the HDD
capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the
actual capacity because the
Samsung Recovery
application
uses a hidden area of 5–20 GB 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 the
Samsung Recovery
application varies by model.

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information
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 scientific and engineering experts drawn from
industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the
scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
Before a new model is available for sale to the public, it must be
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit
established by the FCC. Evaluation per each model is performed
in positions and locations (e.g. at the bottom on the body) as
required by the FCC.
Operation of this device is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
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. Contact manufacturer for service.

101
For corresponding model only
The Specific Absorption Rate (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 wireless devices to comply
with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
SAR level of this 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.
For body worn operation, this model 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.
RF exposure or SAR information can be viewed on-line at
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 find number. Once
you have the FCC ID number for a particular product, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide RF exposure
information or values for typical or maximum SAR for particular
product.

102
The term “IC before the equipment certification number only
signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were
met. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required
for successful communication. To prevent radio interference
to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated
indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding.
Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is
subject to licensing.
