About Memory Capacity Representation  
About the Product Capacity Representation  
Standard  
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)  
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)  
For more information, refer to the Samsung Recovery Solution  
section.  
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.

appearance, but a small number of pixels doesn’t affect the  
computer performance.  
Therefore Samsung observes and manages the following

- Bright dot : 2 or less  
- Black dot : 4 or less  
- Combination of Bright and Dark : 4 or less

Samsung Recovery Solution  
Recovery Solution Representation (Optional)  
The capacity representation of the hard disk drive(HDD)  
in Windows is different from the product specifications.  
What is a Recovery Area?  
Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover  
computers or save backup files.  
The capacity of the storage device (HDD) 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.  
(Only for models with the Samsung Recovery Solution.)  
This partition is called a Recovery Area and it includes a recovery  
image that comprises of the OS and application programs.  
This is due to the difference in capacity calculation and does  
not mean the installed HDD is different from the product  
specifications.  
You can either double-click the Samsung Recovery Solution  
icon on the desktop or press  
while booting the computer  
to enter the Recovery Area. Then you can back up the present  
computer state or recover the computer from backed up images.  
The capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the  
actual capacity because some programs occupy a certain area of  
the HDD outside of Windows.  
For deleting the Recovery Area, you need to use an additional  
Recovery Area Removal Tool. After deleting the recovery area,  
you can use the newly created partition for other uses, such as  
for saving personal data. Be careful that once the recovery area is  
deleted, the Samsung Recovery Solutions will not work anymore.  
For models with Samsung Recovery Solution, the HDD capacity  
representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual  
capacity because Samsung Recovery Solution uses a hidden area  
of about 5~20GB 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 Samsung Recovery Solution varies by models because  
of the different size of applied programs.

Regulatory Compliance Statements  
Wireless Guidance  
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.  
(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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices.  
Examples of common restrictions are listed on the next page:

Regulatory Compliance Statements  
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).  
European Telecommunication Information  
(for products fitted with EU-approved modems)  
Marking by the symbol  
indicates compliance of this equipment  
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.  
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.  
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.

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 2.0 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.  
Virtual XP Mode  
This is a virtual operating system that enables running Windows XP  
programs on the Windows 7 operating system. Using this mode,
