Precautions for Operating System Support The operating system (OS) installed on this product is the latest version of Windows Vista. Other operating systems (Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows 2003 server, UNIX and LINUX, other Windows Vista versions, etc.) other than the operating system already installed on this computer are not supported. If a problem occurs because of the installation of another operating system, the company will not provide technical support, a replacement or refund, and if our service engineer visits you due to this problem, a service charge will be applied. In addition, installing a program that does not support Windows Vista, may cause the program to not work properly. In this case, ask the corresponding software manufacturer about the problem. If you request our services to resolve a problem caused by incompatible software, a service charge will be applied. 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=1,024 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 Solution may reside in a hidden area of the HDD. About Memory Capacity Representation The memory capacity reported in Windows is lesser 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) Contents Chapter 1.

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 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 on the next page: 29 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 Network (WLAN) Related Q Q I cannot find an AP. The signal strength is excellent, but I cannot connect to the network. Even if the signal strength is excellent, the network connection may not operate properly if the TCP/IP properties are not properly configured, or the network key (encryption key) is incorrect. A Verify whether the Wireless LAN LED is on. If it is turned off, turn it on by pressing the Wireless LAN On/Off button (Fn + ). A Check that the TCP/IP properties are configured properly. When connecting to an AP, right-click the Network Connections icon on the taskbar and select Network and Sharing Center. If you click the View Status next to a connected wireless network device and then click the Detail button, you can view the IP information. If the IP is not allocated properly, the IP address will be displayed as follows (e.g. 169.254.xxx.xxx). Q The Wireless LAN device is operating properly, but I cannot connect to the Internet or to another computer. This is due to an incorrect configuration, or a configuration error. Check the following: A1 When connecting to a wireless Ad-Hoc network, check if the network name (SSID) is the same. A2 If a network key (encryption key) is used, the AP (Access Point) and wireless Ad-Hoc network keys must be the same. If the network does not provide DHCP, you have to specify the correct IP address by asking your network administrator. Even if the network provides DHCP, the server may not allocate an IP address to the client properly, and the client station cannot connect to the network. The AP network key can be configured using an AP management program. For more detailed information, ask your network administrator or product provider. A3 Check that the device driver is installed properly. If the driver is not properly installed, you will find a yellow exclamation mark on the network icon by clicking Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Device Manager > Network Adapter. 193 Q I cannot connect to the AP. Check the AP Settings Check the Computer Settings For the AP settings, refer to the User Guide provided by the AP manufacturer. A3 Verify whether the environment is suitable for using a wireless LAN. The use of a wireless LAN may be restricted according to the environment and distance. Obstacles such as walls or doors affect the use of a wireless LAN. Install the AP in a high and open space, 50cm from the wall and far removed from any other radio signal sources. A1Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > Windows Mobile Center and check the wireless device status. When it is represented as Disconnected This means the computer is not connected to the AP. Check the status of the AP, referring to the descriptions of the Checking the SP Settings section below. Check the encryption key configured in the AP and retry to the connection. A4 Verify whether the AP is operating properly. When it is represented as Connected, but you cannot connect to the Internet This means the computer is connected to the AP, but the AP or external network connected with the AP may have a problem. When the ‘There is no wireless LAN adapter’ message appears or there is no wireless LAN icon This means the wireless LAN device is set to Do Not Use or the device is not recognized. Check if the wireless device is properly recognized in the Device Manager window. If the device is set to Do Not Use, right-click and select Use from the pop-up menu. A2 Verify whether the same network key (encryption key) has been entered for both the AP and the computer. The network key is an encryption key for encrypting the data transmitted between the AP and the computer. It is recommended setting the network key manually. When the AP is not operating normally, turn off the AP, wait a short while, and turn it on again. Verify whether the AP’s firmware is the most recent version. (Contact the AP manufacturer or the place where you purchased the AP for details of the AP firmware.) A5 Verify whether the AP has been properly connected to the network. Verify whether the network is operating normally by connecting the wired network cable, which has been connected to the AP, to your computer. A6 Check the network key settings (encryption key) again. When automatic code conversion (a passphrase function) has been selected and data communication is not functioning even with a normal wireless connection, it is recommended entering the network key (encryption key) manually. A7 Check the AP settings as follows. (The following is recommended for a standard environment and thus may differ according to the specific wireless network environment.) 194 Q I cannot connect to a computer connected to the Ad-Hoc network. When several APs are present simultaneously, check the channel settings for each AP. When different APs are using nearby channels, interference may occur between the electronic waves. Set the AP channels further apart from each other. (Ex: Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13) A1 Check the security settings and network name of the wireless Ad-Hoc network. A2 Check the TCP/IP settings of the computers connected to the wireless Ad-Hoc network. The IP addresses of the computers to be connected to a wireless Ad-Hoc network must be set to the same sub-network address. When an AP’s SSID (Service Set ID) option is set to “Hide”, you cannot search for that AP on the computer. We recommend unselecting the “Hide” option for the AP. The SSID is a name used for distinguishing one wireless LAN from another wireless LAN. For example, if the TCP/IP setting is configured to a fixed IP address, select Use the following IP address in the TCP/IP Properties of the wireless adapter, configure the items as follows and try again. It is recommended using Long Preamble. Preamble is a signal for data transmission synchronization. Short Preamble may be supported by some types of APs but may cause compatibility problems. IP: 10.0.0.1~10.0.0.254, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0. It is recommended using a static IP. It is recommended using a fixed IP address for wireless Ad-Hoc network connections. Since static channel selection is more reliable than auto channel selection, it is recommended using a static channel. A3 You have to register the IP address allocated for the wireless adapter as a ‘Trusted IP’ in McAfee SecurityCenter. Click McAfee SecurityCenter > Advanced menu > Configure > Internet and Network > Advanced > Trusted and Banned IPs, and register the IP address or IP address range as a Trusted IP address. 195 Q Q The wireless LAN does not work properly when there is a device operating on an adjacent frequency in the vicinity of the product. During the wireless Ad-Hoc network operation, the AP (Access Point) is intermittently not found. A This problem occurs intermittently during the wireless Ad-Hoc network operation. Even if this problem occurs, the wireless Ad-Hoc network operation is working properly and is not affected. Click Refresh to update the AP list. A1 Channel interference may occur when a wireless video transceiver or a microwave oven is being used. If you experience channel interference from other equipment, we recommended changing the channel for connecting to the AP. For more information about AP settings, refer to the User Manual supplied by the AP manufacturer. Q A2 Since IEEE802.11g equipment operates in hybrid mode when there is active IEEE802.11b equipment, the data rate may be degraded. I have set the same IP address for both the wireless and wired connections, but they do not work properly. A You cannot use wireless and wired connections using the same IP address. To sequentially use both the wired and wireless connections with the same IP address, you need to set the currently not needed connection to Do Not Use in the Network Connections of the Control Panel. 196 Game and Program Related Q The picture on the screen is displayed as a broken image for some games. Windows Vista may not provide some functions properly when performing some applications especially games, or may cause a problem due to a device driver compatibility issue. For the latest device drivers and bug fixes, please refer to the respective company’s website. A A part of the picture on the screen may be broken when playing some games that require a highspecification graphics card. Q A 3D game does not work, or some functions are not working.
