About the Product Capacity Representation
Standard
About the capacity representation of the storage
The 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 dierence 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)
In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even
smaller because some programs such as Recovery Solution may
reside in a hidden area of the HDD.
About Memory Capacity Representation
The 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)

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 takes about
20sec 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.

Battery Usage Time Information
A battery is an expendable supply, so when using it over a long
time, the capacity/battery life is shortened. If the battery life is
reduced to under half of its initial time, we recommend purchasing
a new battery.
When not using the battery for a long time, store the battery after
charging it to 30-40% of its capacity. This extends the battery life
time.

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 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.

Wireless Guidance
(If tted with 2.4G band or 5G band)
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless
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
for use. 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 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 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 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.

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

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 Vista uses
TCP/IP as the default protocol.
