About Memory Capacity Representation  
About the Product Capacity Representation  
Standard  
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)  
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 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)  
For more information, refer to the Samsung Recovery Solution  
section.  
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.

When using the AC power plug  
Using the power supply in an airplane  
Connect the power plug pins perpendicular into the center of the  
power outlet.  
Since the power outlet type differs depending on the type of  
airplane, connect the power appropriately.  
If the plug pins are not inserted into the center of the holes, the  
plug pins are only inserted up to half their length. In this case,  
reconnect the power plug.  
Since the representative figures of the power plug and  
the auto adapter are used, they may differ from the actual  
parts.  
You have to insert the power plug into the outlet when the  
power indicator (LED) of the power outlet is lit green. If the  
power is connected properly, the power indicator (LED)  
remains green.  
Otherwise, the power indicator (LED) is turned off. In this case,  
unplug the power, check if the power indicator (LED) is green,  
and then reconnect the power plug.

LCD bad pixels principle of computer  
Samsung observes the specifications regarding strict  
quality and reliability of LCD. But in spite of that, it is  
inevitable that there might be a small number of bad  
pixels. A large number of bad pixels can cause problems in  
appearance, but a small number of pixels doesn’t affect the  
computer performance.  
Therefore Samsung observes and manages the following  
dot principles:  
- Bright dot : 2 or less  
- Black dot : 4 or less  
- Combination of Bright and Dark : 4 or less  
Instructions for Cleaning the LCD  
Clean the LCD panel with a soft cloth lightly moistened with  
computer cleansing detergent moving in one direction.

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?  
The capacity representation of the hard disk drive(HDD)  
in Windows is different from the product specifications.  
Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover  
computers or save backup files.  
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.  
(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.  
This is due to the difference in capacity calculation and does  
not mean the installed HDD is different from the product  
specifications.  
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.  
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 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.  
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 different size of applied programs.

Regulatory Compliance Statements  
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  
for use. 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:

may find the following booklet helpful: “Something About  
Interference.”  
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the  
5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC requires this product to be  
used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce  
the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile  
Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as primary users  
of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar  
stations can cause interference with and /or damage this device.

SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the  
Health and safety information  
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.  
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 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 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 a 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

Regulatory Compliance Statements  
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).  
European Telecommunication Information  
(for products fitted with EU-approved modems)  
Marking by the symbol  
indicates compliance of this equipment  
However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs  
provided in different 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  
contact manufacturer Technical Support.  
to the Radio and Telecom Terminal Equipment Directive 1999/5/  
EC. Such marking is indicative that this equipment meets or  
exceeds the following technical standards:  
CTR 21 - Attachment requirements for pan-European approval for  
connection to the analogue Public Switched Telephone Networks  
(PSTNs) of TE (excluding TE supporting voice telephony services) in  
which network addressing, if provided, is by means of Dual Tone  
Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signaling.  
Although this equipment can use either loop disconnect  
(pulse) or DTMF (tone) signaling, only the performance of  
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.
