System Software Functions
Samsung Recovery Solution provides system software so that
you can reinstall or copy the device drivers and system software
necessary for normal operations onto a separate storage device.
Restore Function
Not only can you use Samsung Recovery Solution when Windows
is running, but also when you are unable to boot up into Windows.
Let’s learn how to use Samsung Recovery Solution.
Optional functions such as Initial State Image, Initial Status Backup,
and Partitioning are only available in some models.
Partition Setup & Initial Status Backup
If you turn your computer on for the rst time, the Initial Status
Backup function is performed after registering Windows. This
function saves an image of the Initial Status of the C drive to a
secure location so that users can restore the computer to the
Initial Status using the Complete Restore function. An Initial Status
Backup is only performed once immediately after the computer is
purchased.
1 If you turn the power on for the rst time, the Register
Windows screen appears. If you register Windows according
to the instructions on the screen, the computer will be
restarted.
2 After the computer has been restarted, the Partition Setup
screen appears.
To resize the C and D drives, adjust the partition size using
the slide bar and the click Next.
The Partition Setup function is only available when the
computer is turned on for the rst time and will not
be available afterwards. Once you have completed the
partitioning, it cannot be resized. Partition the disk carefully.
3 The Initial Status Backup screen appears.
To continue the Initial Status Backup, click Restart Now. The
computer will restart.
4 The Initial Status Backup is performed to backup the initial
status of the C drive to a secure location. This backup image
is used for the Complete Restore function that restores your

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.

A3 A Bluetooth headset provides two operating modes, On/O
mode and Pairing mode. To connect the headset to another
Bluetooth device such as a PC or mobile phone, the headset
should be in Pairing mode.
● Entering Pairing mode
For more information about entering Pairing mode, refer
to the user manual of the headset. In this section, we will
describe the general method to enter Pairing mode.
- Power button type headsets
(headsets that are turned on by pressing the power button)
If you press and hold the power button for 1~3 seconds, the
power is turned on. If you do not release the button even
after the power is turned on, the headset enters Pairing mode.
- On/O switch type headsets
(headsets that are turned on or o by sliding the power
switch to the corresponding position.)
Turn the headset on by sliding the power switch to the on
position while holding down the Call button.
The headset is turned on in Pairing mode. Check if the
headset is in Pairing mode through the headset LED.
After switching to Pairing mode, search for the headset in the
Bluetooth device window on the computer.
In general, Pairing mode automatically turns to On/O mode
after a predetermined period of time. In this case, you have to
turn the headset o and then on and make the headset enter
Pairing mode again to connect to the computer.
