About the Product Capacity Representation
Standard
About Memory Capacity Representation
The memory capacity reported in the Chrome OS 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, OS(Windows, Chrome,
etc.) may report the capacity as 1,022MB or less)

Cautions on Preventing Data Loss
(Hard Disk Management)
Take care not to damage the data on a hard disk drive.
A hard disk drive is so sensitive to external impact that an •
external impact may cause loss of data on the surface of the
disk.
Take extra care, because moving the computer or an impact •
on the computer when it is turned on may damage the data of
the hard disk drive.
The company is not liable for any loss of data on the hard disk •
drive.
Causes that may damage the data of a hard disk drive and
the hard disk drive itself.
The data may be lost when an external impact is applied to the •
disk while disassembling or assembling the computer.
The data may be lost when the computer is turned o or reset •
by a power failure while the hard disk drive is operating.
The data may be lost and irrecoverable due to a computer virus •
infection.
The data may be lost if the power is turned o while running a •
program.
Sudden impact or movement to the computer while the hard •
disk drive is operating may cause les to be corrupted or bad
sectors on the hard disk.
To prevent data loss due to damage to the hard disk drive,
please backup your data frequently.

Proper Posture During Computer Use
Maintaining a proper posture during computer use is very
important to prevent physical harm.
The following instructions are about maintaining a proper posture
during computer use developed through human engineering.
Please read and follow them carefully when using the computer.
Otherwise, the probability of repetitive strain injury (RSI) from
repeated operations may increase and serious physical harm may
be caused.
The instructions in this manual have been prepared so that •
they can be applied within the coverage of general users.
If the user is not included in the coverage, the •
recommendation is to be applied according to the user’s
needs.
Proper Posture
Adjust the heights of desks and chairs appropriate to your
height.
The heights are to be adjusted so that your arm forms a right
angle when you place your hand over the keyboard while sitting
down on a chair.
