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:  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
ꢃꢃ  
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.

Using Digital Output (S/PDIF)  
You can enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound by using the Headphone/S/PDIF jack.  
Before You Start!  
To listen to 5.1 channel surround sound, follow the procedures below.  
Connect ꢂ.1 channel speaker system to your computer.  
Configure digital sound output on the computer.  
Enable S/PDIF output on the DVD program.  
What is Digital Output (S/PDIF)?  
S/PDIF is a method to output digital sound and is also called Digital Output.  
If you connect a 5.1 channel speaker system to the S/PDIF jack, you can enjoy audio without distortion since the signal is  
transferred digitally.  
5.1 channel surround sound consists of 6 speakers in total: center, front left/right, rear left/right, and woofer.  
Since a woofer speaker is a special speaker for bass output only, we call the system a 5.1 channel system and a 6  
channel system.

Guide to the battery lifecycle  
Using Battery Longer  
Battery is an expendable item so its life gets shorter when  
used for a long time. It is time to replace when the battery  
run time is less than half of the figure when purchasing.  
Using Samsung Battery Manager  
Battery Manager is a management program that  
allows you to use the battery efficiently. You can select  
the optimized power mode depending on the system  
environment.  
If you won’t use the battery for a long time, discharge  
it first for keeping. This will guarantee longer life of the  
battery.

This mode is appropriate for the environment that requires  
maximum battery lifetime. The system performance may  
be degraded in this mode.  
When Using Games or Multimedia  
General Mode  
The system may not operate properly in maximum  
battery mode. It is recommended to connect the AC  
adapter to the system or to use the system in general  
mode.  
This mode is appropriate for the regular environment and  
it optimizes the performance of the system and battery.

QI cannot make a call using an extension line.  
Qoverseas?  
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.  
Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet  
Using an AT command  
Connections.  
Under See Also, click Phone and Modem Options.

manually before making a call.  
In the Dialing Rules tab, click Edit.  
In the General tab in the Edit Location window,  
select the current country from the Country/region  
radio box, specify the Area code, and click OK.  
It can correct this problem by skipping the dial tone  
check step.

A2 When operating in EEE802.11g mode, if there is  
a IEEE802.11b device operating nearby, you may  
experience low data rates or even disconnection  
as it operates in Hybrid mode.  
Check the authentication type.

802.1x authentication is not being used.  
I cannot connect to an AP. (The wireless  
Qconnection is disconnected frequently.)

this network” option.  
Check the Network Key.  
A
Right-click the Wireless Network Connections  
icon from the Taskbar and click View available

a problem. Please check the Network Key  
(Encryption Key) and the AP settings.  
For detailed information on the authentication server,  
ask your network administrator.  
Check if there is a device nearby using the same  
frequency band.  
A1 If there is a device nearby using the same  
frequency band such as another wireless LAN  
device, wireless video transceiver, microwave  
oven, plasma bulb, etc., channel interference  
may occur. If you experience interference from  
another device, it is recommended changing the  
AP channel.

Check the AP settings.  
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.

Qcannot connect to the Internet.  
I have configured both wired and wireless  
Qconnections with the same IP address, but the

A
You cannot use the same IP address for wired  
and wireless connections. To use only one IP  
address for both wired and wireless connections,  
you must disable one of them according to your  
requirements in Network Connections in the  
Control Panel.  
A
If you cannot connect to the Internet but you are  
connected to an AP, check if the TCP/IP settings  
are configured properly.

When you are connected to an AP, an X mark  
appears over the “Wireless Network Connections”  
icon ( ) in the Taskbar. Double-click the icon and  
check if the IP address is properly allocated on  
the Support tab. If the IP address is not properly  
allocated, the IP address will be displayed as follows;  
(for example, 169.254.xxx.xxx).  
A
The protocol is a security authentication protocol  
that is automatically installed when the Wireless  
LAN Settings program is installed and does not  
affect the program operation.  
If your network does not support DHCP, you have  
to manually configure an IP address by asking your  
network administrator.  
(For Intel PROSet) Although I have turned the  
Qwireless LAN off using the Turn Off Wireless LAN  
button in PROSet, the Wireless LAN LED is still  
on.  
In addition, even if your network supports DHCP,  
the Internet connection may not be available if the  
DHCP server fails to allocate an IP address to your  
computer.

This is normal. The Turn Off Wireless LAN  
button in PROSet just turns off the wireless LAN  
software. The wireless LAN hardware is not  
affected by this operation.

Representation Standard  
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)  
Microsoft, MS-DOS, and Windows are registered

All other product or company names mentioned herein are  
registered trademarks of their respective companies.  
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.

necessary. A backup is a way to restore computer data  
when the data or computer is damaged.  
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.  
Client

resource provided by a server.  
DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic  
Random Access Memory)  
Driver  
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.  
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.  
DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)  
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.

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.  
through an authentication procedure.  
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

Notification Area  
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 XP uses TCP/IP as  
the default protocol.  
This refers to the right area of the Taskbar including  
program icons such as the volume control, the power  
options and the time.

USB (Universal Serial Bus)  
This refers to a serial interface standard developed  
to replace the conventional interface standards such  
as Serial and PS/2. While USB 1.1 supports 12Mbps  
(12 million bits per second), USB 2.0 supports a data  
rate that is 40 times (480Mpbs) faster than that of USB  
1.1. The data rate of USB ꢃ.0 is equivalent to that of  
IEEE1394. Therefore USB 2.0 is used for A/V devices  
supported by IEEE 1394 and a 2nd HDD and CDRW  
that require a high data rate.  
Windows  
The name of an operating system developed by the  
Microsoft Corporation. Windows XP is installed on this
