LCD bad pixels principle of computer•
Samsung observes the specications regarding strict
quality and reliability of LCD. But in spite of that, it is
inevitable that there might be a small number of bad
pixels. A large number of bad pixels can cause problems in
appearance, but a small number of pixels doesn’t aect the
computer performance.
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
Instructions for Cleaning the LCD
Clean the LCD panel with a soft cloth lightly moistened with
computer cleansing detergent moving in one direction.
Cleaning the LCD panel with excessive force can damage the

Wired Network
For Windows 8, Wake On LAN is not supported by Ping.
When connected to a 100Mbps/1Gbps wired LAN and the
computer exits Sleep/hibernation mode, a message appears
informing you of a connection to a 10Mbps/100Mbps
wired LAN. This happens because when the computer exits
standby/hibernate mode, restoring the network takes about
3 seconds. When the network is restored, it operates at
100Mbps/1Gbps.
When system is running on battery, some time it may take
a few second extra after inserting LAN cable to be able to
connect to internet. This symptom happen as a result of
power saving feature to reduce battery consumption.
When system is running on battery, the Wired LAN speed
is decreased automatically to reduce battery consumption.
In such case, a 1Gbps /100Mbps LAN would function at
100Mbps/10Mbps speed.

Q1
What is a Recovery Area?
A Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover
computers or save backup les. (Only for models with the
Recovery.)
This partition is called a Recovery Area and it includes a
recovery image that comprises of the OS and application
programs.
Q2
The capacity representation of the hard disk
drive(HDD) in Windows is dierent from the product
specications.
A 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.
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 Recovery, the HDD capacity representation
in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity because
Recovery 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 Recovery varies by models because of the
dierent size of applied programs.
Q3
What is a recovery image?
A This refers to the computer status (including operating
system, specic driver(s), software(s), etc.) which is converted
to a data image. It is required to recover your computer and
is embedded in the computer's hard disk. However, this is
not provided for storage devices where the capacity is less
than 64 GB due to the small capacity.

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
using. 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 •
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.
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.

Health and safety information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certication Information (SAR)
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 scientic and engineering experts drawn from
industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the
scientic literature related to the biological eects of RF energy.
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless devices employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate (SAR).
The 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 requires wireless devices to comply with a safety limit of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates
a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the wireless transmitting at its highest
certied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certied power level, the actual
SAR level of the 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.
Before a new model is available for sale to the public, it must
be tested and certied to the FCC that it does not exceed the
exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model are
performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the bottom on the
body) as required by the FCC.
For body worn operation, this model has been tested and 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.
SAR information on this and other model can be viewed on-line
at http://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 nd the number. Once
you have the FCC ID number for a particular product, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical
or maximum SAR for a particular product.

Regulatory Compliance Statements
European Telecommunication Information
(for products tted with EU-approved modems)
Marking by the symbol indicates compliance of this equipment
to the Radio and Telecom Terminal Equipment Directive 1999/5/
EC. Such marking is indicative that this equipment meets or
exceeds the following technical standards:
CTR 21 - Attachment requirements for pan-European approval for
connection to the analogue Public Switched Telephone Networks
(PSTNs) of TE (excluding TE supporting voice telephony services) in
which network addressing, if provided, is by means of Dual Tone
Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signaling.
Although this equipment can use either loop disconnect
(pulse) or DTMF (tone) signaling, only the performance of
the DTMF signaling is subject to regulatory requirements for
correct operation.
It is therefore strongly recommended that the equipment
is set to use DTMF signaling for access to public or private
emergency services. DTMF signaling also provides faster call
setup.
This equipment has been approved to Council Decision 98/482/
EEC - “CTR 21” for Pan-European single terminal connection to the
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
However, due to dierences between the individual PSTNs
provided in dierent countries, the approval does not, of itself,
give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every
PSTN termination point. In the event of problems, you should
contact manufacturer Technical Support.
RTC CAUTION
CAUTION : Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
