100 GB Storage Device (HDD, SSD, eMMC): 100,000 MB / 1,000 Bytes = 100
GB
Windows
Windows use the binary definition of 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes.
100 GB Storage Device (HDD, SSD, eMMC): 100,000 MB / 1,024 Bytes =
97.6 GB
RAM Capacity

TIP
When the PC is not used for an extended period of time, refer to the following:
extend the battery life.
• If the battery is left fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery capacity and
battery running time may be reduced.
• If the battery is left fully discharged for an extended period of time, it may become overdischarged and cannot be charged again.
For more efficient use of the battery, read the following carefully.
• The battery runs low naturally even if it is kept unused.
• To increase battery lifespan, use the battery for a while before charging it rather than
keeping the battery completely charged.
• If you don't use the product for a long time with the battery completely charged, the
battery lifespan may decrease.
The battery capacity may change due to chemical reactions during charge and discharge.
• The system checks the charge status of LG batteries frequently, and then calculates and
indicates the actual battery duration on the current system setup.
• The battery is wearable goods and thus the life span may become shorter with use. The
battery running time may also become shorter accordingly.
• When the battery is fully charged, the machine stops recharging. It resumes recharging
when the battery charge rate drops below 95%. This feature secures the safe and efficient
use of the battery.
• When the temperature of the battery drops below 10 °C, it is charged in a low current to
protect the battery cells. In this case, charging time may stretch to up to 32 hours.
If you use the system at a low temperature, refer to the following:
• The battery capacity may be reduced depending on the chemical characteristics of the
battery and the system may not be turned on after it freezes or it is turned off.
• If the system freezes or if it is not turned on, connect the AC adapter to the system and
charge the battery fully before use.
• If there is any error in the indication of the battery capacity, charge and discharge the
battery two or three times at room temperature to return to the normal operation.

INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada RSS-247 . Operation 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.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices.
There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels
of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many
studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological
effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. This device have been tested and found to
comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules(<1.6W/kg).

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
Selon les preuves scientifiques disponibles, aucun problème de santé n’est associé à l’utilisation d’appareils sans fil de faible
puissance. Rien ne prouve cependant que ces appareils sont absolument sans danger. Lorsqu’ils sont utilisés, les appareils sans fil
de faible puissance émettent de faibles niveaux d’énergie radiofréquence (RF) dans la gamme des hyperfréquences. Bien que les
niveaux élevés de radiofréquence puissant avoir un effet sur la santé (réchauffement des tissus), l’exposition à de faibles niveaux
n’ayant pas d’effet thermique n’a aucun impact négatif connu sur la santé. De nombreuses études sur l’exposition aux
radiofréquences de faible niveau n’ont révélé aucun effet biologique. Certaines d’entre elles ont sous-entendu qu’il pourrait y avoir
de tells effets, mais leurs résultats n’ont pas été confirmés par des recherché supplémentaires. Les modele suivants ont ete testes et
se sont averes conformes aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements definies par la FCC et IC pour l’environnement non controle ;
ils repondent aux regles sur l’exposition aux rayonnements RF (radiofrequence) de la FCC et a celles de la norme RSS-102 d’IC.
