About the Product Capacity Representation Standard
About HDD Capacity Representation
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=1,0ꢀꢂ 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 7ꢂ.ꢃGB,
80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/(1,0ꢀꢂx1,0ꢀꢂx1,0ꢀꢂ)byte = 7ꢂ.ꢃ0ꢃGB)
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(=1,0ꢀꢂMB) memory installed, Windows may report the capacity as
1,0ꢀꢀMB or less)

Recovery Solution Representation (Optional)
Q. What is a Recovery Area?
A.- Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover computers or save
backup files. (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 Fꢂ 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.
Q. The capacity representation of the hard disk drive(HDD) in Windows is
different from the product specifications.
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=1,0ꢀꢂ Bytes, and
therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the
actual capacity. This is due to the difference in capacity calculation and does not
mean the installed HDD is different from the product specifications.
- 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 ꢃ~ꢀ0GB 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
different size of applied programs.

Wireless Guidance
(If fitted with 2.4G band or 5G band)
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication
devices), operating in the ꢀ.ꢂGHz/ꢃGHz 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 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 using them may not be allowed.
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 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:
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
ꢁꢁ
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere 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.
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.
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.
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.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way.
Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Please contact
manufacturer for service.
Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See the
manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact manufacturer Technical Support for
additional information.
