About the Product Capacity Representation
Standard
© 2013 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. owns the copyright of this manual.
About the capacity representation of the storage
No part of this manual may be reproduced or transmitted in any
form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, without the
consent of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
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 difference 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)
The information in this document is subject to change without
notice due to improving the performance of the product.
Samsung Electronics shall not be liable for any data loss. Please
take care to avoid losing any important data and backup your data
to prevent any such data loss.
In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even
smaller because some programs such as Recovery may reside in a
hidden area of the HDD.
OS and Software Support
If you change the product’s factory OS (Operating System) to
another OS or if you install software which is not supported by the
product’s original factory OS, you will not receive any technical
support, product exchange or refund. And a fee will be charged
when requesting a service.
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)
Please use your computer with the original factory OS. If you
install an OS other than the factory OS, data may be deleted or the
computer may not start.

• Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere
Wireless Guidance
with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation
regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while
traveling in an airplane.
802.11ABGN (also known as wireless Ethernet or Wifi) and
Bluetooth communication devices are examples of devices
that provide wireless communication.
(If fitted 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.
• 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 flammable
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.
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries
are listed in the specific country sections (or country group
sections). The wireless devices in your system are only qualified for
use in the countries identified 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.
• Every country has different 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.
The RF field 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.
• 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.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices.
Examples of common restrictions are listed on the next page:

station antenna, the lower the power output.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Before a new model is available for sale to the public, it must
be tested and certified 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.
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 scientific and engineering experts drawn from
industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the
scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
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.
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless devices employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific 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 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 find 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.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the wireless transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual

computer is damaged.
This refers to automatically allocating IP addresses to the users on
the network by the network administrators.
Direct X
Chargeable USB
An application interface developed to enable Windows application
programs to access hardware devices at a very high speed. Since
the operating speed of graphics, memory and sound cards must be
very fast to provide high quality video and sound for games, Direct
X enables faster control and interaction between applications and
hardware devices. By using Direct X, the multimedia performance
of Windows has been hugely improved.
This program enables supplying power to a specific USB port when
the system is in power saving mode, hibernation mode or off.
Client

provided by a server.
DDR SDRAM
Driver
(Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory)
Software that interacts between the hardware and the operating
system. An operating system knows the hardware information
and controls the hardware. In general, a driver is supplied with the
corresponding hardware device.
DRAM is a memory type whose cells consist of a capacitor and
transistor manufactured at a low price. SDRAM is a memory type
whose performance has been improved by synchronizing the clock
with the external CPU clock. DDR SDRAM is a memory type whose
performance has been improved by doubling the operating speed
of the SDRAM and is widely used nowadays. This computer uses
DDR SDRAM.
D-sub (D-subminiature)
This is the cable connecting a general CRT monitor and the
computer. Analog video is output through this cable.

DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)
Icon
DVD was developed to replace CD (compact disk). Although the
shape and size of the disc are the same as that of a CD, the capacity
of a DVD is at least 4.7GB while the capacity of a CD is 600MB. DVD
video is digital unlike VHS (analog) video and supports MPEG2
compression and digital audio. To play a DVD, a DVD drive is
required.
This refers to a small image that represents a file that users can use.

IEEE for the LAN connection method called XX.
LAN (Local Area Network)
Firewall
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 Vista uses
TCP/IP as the default protocol.
A security system used to protect an internal network or intranet
from external networks through an authentication procedure.
HDMI
This is a digital video / audio interface specification that transmits
video and audio signals over a single cable.
Hibernation Mode
A power mode that saves all data in memory to the hard disk and
turns the CPU and hard disk off. When canceling Hibernation Mode,
all application programs that were running are restored to their last
state.
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.
