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.

Precautions for Operating System Support

If a problem occurs because of the reinstallation of other operating systems(OS) or a previous version of a OS pre-installed on this computer, or a software that does not support the OS, 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.

Before You Start

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)

LCD bad pixels principle of computer

Samsung observes the specifi cations 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 aff ect 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

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.

European Telecommunication Information

(for products fitted with EU-approved modems)

Marking by the symbol indicates compliance of this equipment 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.

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).

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.

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.
