5Chapter 1 Getting StartedPerformance Information and RestrictionThis computer automatically maintains the CPU and GPU clock t speed at every moment to control the heating and power consumption of the computer for minimum performance degradation. For best computer performance: 1. Connect the AC adapter. 2. Launch Settings software, and select General > Max. Performance Mode > Activate max. performance mode.Online games and some games(3D,2D) may not be supported t and Full HD video and some high bit rate HD video playback may be slow and stutter on this computer.About the Product Capacity Representation StandardAbout the capacity representation of the storageThe 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 dierence 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)Windows may also display a smaller hard disk capacity due to some hidden functions or software programs such as the Recovery program.About Memory Capacity RepresentationThe 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)Before You Start

106Chapter 5 AppendixHealth and safety information Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Certication Information (SAR) This product can be embedded a 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 scientic and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientic literature related to the biological eects of RF energy. The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic 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 certied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied 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 certied 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 a 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

When canceling Hibernation Mode, all application programs that were running are restored to their last state.IconThis refers to a small image that represents a le that users can use.IEEE802.XXThis is a set fo specications developed by the 802 committee of IEEE for the LAN connection method called XX.LAN (Local Area Network)A communications network connecting computers, printers and other devices within a local area such as within a building. A LAN enables all connected devices to interact with other devices on the network. The current LAN uses the Ethernet media access control method developed in the early 1980s. To connect to an Ethernet, a network card called a LAN card, Ethernet card or network interface card is required. To exchange data between computers, a protocol is required besides the hardware equipment. Windows uses TCP/IP as the default protocol.LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)There are Passive Matrix and Active Matrix LCD types. This computer uses the Active Matrix type LCD called a TFT LCD. Since an LCD is implemented by transistors instead of a cathode-ray tube unlike a CRT, its size can be slim. And because it does not blink, it reduces eye strain.Glossary
125Chapter 5 AppendixNetworkA group of computers and devices, such as printers and scanners, connected by a communications link. A network can be either small or large and can be connected permanently through cables or temporarily through telephone lines or wireless links. The biggest network is the Internet, a worldwide network.Network AdministratorA user who plans, congures and manages network operations. Sometimes, a network administrator is called a system administrator.Notication AreaThis refers to the right area of the Taskbar including program icons such as the volume control, the power options and the time.PartitionThis refers to the act or practice of dividing the storage space of a hard disk drive into separate data areas known as partitions. If a 100GB hard disk drive is partitioned into 2 x 50GB partitions, the hard disk drive can be used as if there are 2 hard disk drives.PCMCIA( Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) cardThis is an extended card slot specication for mobile computers such as a notebook computer. Not only a memory, device but also most peripherals such as hard disk drives, LAN cards, etc. can be connected to this card slot.ProtocolA protocol is a set of rules used by computers to communicate with each other across a network. A protocol is a convention or standard that controls or enables the connection, communication, and data transfer between computing endpoints. It denes the data transmission procedures and the transmission medium for more ecient network functions.Quick LaunchThis refers to a toolbar that can be congured so that you can launch a program such as Internet Explorer or display the Windows Desktop with one click. You can add any icon to the quick launch area of the Taskbar and launch frequently used program by clicking that icon.ServerIn general, a server refers to a computer that provides shared resources for network users.Glossary
126Chapter 5 AppendixShareThis refers to setting a resource of a computer such as a folder or printer so that other users can also use it.Shared FolderA folder that can be used by other users on the network.Sleep ModeA power mode that enables computers to save power consumption when they are not being used. When a computer is in Sleep Mode, the data on the computer memory is not saved to the hard disk. If the power is turned o, the data in memory will be lost.System FileSystem Files refer to les that are read and used by the Windows operating system. In general, system les must not be deleted or moved.TCP/IPv4This is a 4 byte (32 bit) address system separated into each byte (8 bits) by a dot and each byte is represented as a decimal number.USB (Universal Serial Bus)This refers to a serial interface standard developed to replace the conventional interface standards such as Serial and PS/2. The data transmission specications are one of the interface standards used to connect a computer to peripheral devices. These specications include USB 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0. It is appropriate to support peripheral devices that require high data rates such as an AV device, secondary HDD or CD-RW. The higher the version (e.g. USB 3.0), the higher the data rate provided.Windows Media PlayerA multimedia program included with Windows. Using this program, you can play a media le, create an audio CD, listen to a radio broadcast, search and manage media les, and copy les to a portable device, etc.Glossary
