Regulatory Compliance Statements
Wireless Guidance
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4
GHz 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 use 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.
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and the body, for use of a wireless
device near the body (this does not include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches)
from the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.
(This Statement is not applicable to UMPC(Ultra Mobile PC) such as PDA, Portable PC.)
This transmitter must not be collocated or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except the installed
Bluetooth transmitter.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below:

■
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.
802.11B (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.

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.
Dans le cas d’une utilisation privée, à l’extérieur d’un
bâtiment, au-dessus d’un espace public, aucun enregis-
trement n’est nécessaire pour une distance de moins de

est requise. Pour les enregistrements et licences, veuillez
contacter l’IBPT.
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.

A
In general, the dial tone of a PBX or a digital
phone switching system is not a continuous one,
unlike that of a trunk line.
A1 Check that the modem is correctly configured
according to the current country.
Because the values for communication may differ
according to the country, you may not be able to
connect via the modem due to an incorrect modem
configuration.
Therefore, the modem may not make a call because
the modem mistakes the dial tone from a PBX or a
digital phone switching system as a busy tone. In this
case, complete the following procedures.

A1 If there is a device nearby using the same
frequency band such as another wireless LAN
device, wireless video transceiver, microwave

may occur. If you experience interference from
another device, it is recommended changing the
AP channel.

A5 Check the Network Key (Encryption Key)
settings again. If the automatic password
converting function (passphrase function) is
enabled and the wireless connection is normal
but you cannot send data over the connection,
please enter the Network Key (Encryption Key)
manually.
A1 Check if the surroundings are appropriate for a
wireless LAN. A wireless LAN connection may
be limited by the surrounding environment and
distance. Obstacles such as walls and door mats
affect the quality of the wireless LAN signal. You
have to install an AP in a high, open position far
away from any other radio signal sources. If the
AP is excessively far away, or is installed at the
end of a building and you are attempting to use
the wireless LAN from the other end, you may
not be able to use the wireless communication
normally because the signal is blocked by
obstacles between you and the AP (such as a
wall).
A6 Check the AP settings as follows.
If there are multiple APs running at the same time,
check the channel setting of each AP. If the interval
between the channels of the APs is narrow, you may
experience electromagnetic interference. Set the
channel numbers of the APs so that the internals
between the channels are maximized. (for example,
Ch1, Chꢂ, Ch9, Ch1ꢀ) computer.
A2 Check if the AP operates properly. If the AP is not
operating properly, turn it off and on again and try
again.
It is recommended unselecting the Hide option of
the AP. SSID (Service Set ID) is a name used to
distinguish a wireless LAN from other wireless LANs.
A3 Check if the AP firmware is the latest version.
(For more information on the AP firmware, ask
the AP manufacturer or your product provider.)
It is recommended using Long Preamble. Preamble
is a signal for data transmission synchronization.
Although some APs support Short Preamble, there
might be a compatibility problem.
A4 Check if the AP is properly connected to the
network. Connect the LAN cable from the AP to a
computer and check if the network is connected
properly.
Because “Fixed” channel selection is more stable
then ‘Auto’ channel selection, “Fixed” channel
selection is recommended. It is recommended
not using the “Block Any” and “Any Connection
Block” functions. Although these functions block
connections at the client side when the network
name is Any or Blank, it may cause a compatibility
problem.
For more information on the AP settings, see the
owner’s manual supplied with the AP.

Registered Trademarks
Samsung is a registered trademark of Samsung Co., Ltd.
SENS is a registered trademark of Samsung Electronics
Co., Ltd.
Intel, Pentium/Celeron are registered trademarks of the
Intel Corporation.
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)

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.
