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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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)
Safety Precautions
For your security and to prevent damage, please read the
following safety instructions carefully.
Since this is commonly applied to Samsung computers,
some pictures may differ from actual products.

Cautions on Preventing Data Loss
(Hard Disk Management)
Take care not to damage the data on a hard disk drive.
•• A hard disk drive is so sensitive to external impact that an
external impact may cause loss of data on the surface of the
disk.
•• Take extra care, because moving the computer or an impact
on the computer when it is turned on may damage the data of
the hard disk drive.
•• The company is not liable for any loss of data on the hard disk
drive.
Chapter 1
Getting Started
16
Causes that may damage the data of a hard disk drive and
the hard disk drive itself.
•• The data may be lost when an external impact is applied to the
disk while disassembling or assembling the computer.
•• The data may be lost when the computer is turned off or reset
by a power failure while the hard disk drive is operating.
•• The data may be lost and irrecoverable due to a computer virus
infection.
•• The data may be lost if the power is turned off while running a
program.
•• Sudden impact or movement to the computer while the hard
disk drive is operating may cause files to be corrupted or bad
sectors on the hard disk.
To prevent data loss due to damage to the hard disk drive,
please backup your data frequently.

About the connection cable
Users should additionally purchase the necessary connection
cables.
The computer provides an analog monitor port (D-SUB) and a
digital video/audio port (HDMI).
The visual quality is sharper when a display device is connected
through the HDMI port rather than the analog monitor port
(D-SUB) port. Therefore, when multiple ports are supported,
connect a display device to a port that provides the better visual
quality.
Before you start, check the port and cable of the external

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.

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 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.
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
using. 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:
Chapter 6
Appendix
110
• 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.

Certification Information (SAR)
Chapter 6
Appendix
114
SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the
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.
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.
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.
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

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.

Network
Protocol
A group of computers and devices, such as printers and scanners,
connected by a communications link. A network can be either
small or large and can be connected permanently through cables
or temporarily through telephone lines or wireless links. The
biggest network is the Internet, a worldwide network.
A protocol is a set of rules used by computers to communicate with
each other across a network. A protocol is a convention or standard
that controls or enables the connection, communication, and
data transfer between computing endpoints. It defines the data
transmission procedures and the transmission medium for more
efficient network functions.
Network Administrator
A user who plans, configures and manages network operations.
Sometimes, a network administrator is called a system
administrator.
Notification Area
This refers to the right area of the Taskbar including program icons
such as the volume control, the power options and the time.
Partition
This refers to the act or practice of dividing the storage space of
a hard disk drive into separate data areas known as partitions. If a
100GB hard disk drive is partitioned into 2 x 50GB partitions, the
hard disk drive can be used as if there are 2 hard disk drives.
Quick Launch
This refers to a toolbar that can be configured so that you can
launch a program such as Internet Explorer or display the Windows
Desktop with one click. You can add any icon to the quick launch
area of the Taskbar and launch frequently used program by clicking

conventional interface standards such as Serial and PS/2.
Sleep Mode
A power mode that enables computers to save power consumption
when they are not being used. When a computer is in Sleep Mode,
the data on the computer memory is not saved to the hard disk. If
the power is turned off, the data in memory will be lost.
System File
System Files refer to files that are read and used by the Windows
operating system. In general, system files must not be deleted or
moved.
TCP/IPv4
This is a 4 byte (32 bit) address system separated into each byte
(8 bits) by a dot and each byte is represented as a decimal number.
129
The data transmission specifications are one of the interface
standards used to connect a computer to peripheral devices.
These specifications include USB 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0.
It is appropriate to support peripheral devices that require high
data rates such as an AV device, secondary HDD or CD-RW.
The higher the version (e.g. USB 3.0), the higher the data rate
provided.
