5 Getting started Data precautions Samsung Electronics shall not be liable for any data loss. Please take care to avoid losing any important data and back up your data to prevent any such data loss. Operating system and software support If you change the products factory OS (Operating System) to another OS or if you install software which is not supported by the products 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. Recommended screen resolutions It is recommended to set the resolution of your display based on standard Windows settings. If you set a high resolution, such as QHD+ (3200x1800), it may not correctly display some applications. Product capacity representation Storage capacity representation The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1 KB = 1,000 Bytes. However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes. Therefore, the available capacity of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity due to the difference in capacity calculation. For example, for an 80 GB HDD, Windows calculates the capacity as 74.5 GB, (80x1,000x1,000x1,000) Bytes/(1,024x1,024x1,024) Bytes
= 74.505 GB. In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even smaller because some programs, such as Samsung Recovery, may reside in a hidden area of the HDD. Memory capacity representation The available memory capacity in Windows is less than the actual capacity of memory. This is because some memory is required for regular system operations. For example, for 1 GB (= 1,024 MB) memory installed, Windows may report the capacity as 1,022 MB or less. 6 Getting started Layout

This refers to the operating system, drivers, and software that are converted to a data image. It is required to recover the computer and is embedded in the computers HDD. However, this is not provided for storage devices where the capacity is less than 64 GB, due to their small capacities. How can I restore a computer that does not have the Samsung Recovery application?
Restore the computer with the recovery function provided by Windows. Refer to the Recover Functionality item in the help for more details. Troubleshooting Why is the capacity representation of the hard disk drive (HDD) in Windows different from the product specifications?
The capacity of the storage device (HDD or SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1 KB = 1,000 Bytes. However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity. The capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity because some applications occupy a certain area of the HDD outside of Windows. For models with the Samsung Recovery application, the HDD capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity because the Samsung Recovery application uses a hidden area of 520 GB of the HDD to save the recovery image, and that hidden area is not counted towards the total size available to Windows. The size of the Samsung Recovery application varies by model. 59 Appendix Product specifications The system specifications may differ depending on the derived model.

Health and safety information Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Certification Information 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 certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC. Evaluation per each model is performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the bottom on the body) as required by the FCC. 84 Appendix For body worn operation, this model meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with Samsung accessory designated for this product. Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF exposure guidelines. RF exposure or SAR information can be viewed on-line at 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 number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular product, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide RF exposure information or values for typical or maximum SAR for particular product. For corresponding model only The Specific Absorption Rate (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 wireless devices to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). SAR level of this 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. 85 Appendix Canada Unintentional emitter per ICES-003 This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations of Industry Canada.
