Regulatory Compliance Statements
Wireless Guidance
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz
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 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 Statement is not applicable to UMPC(Ultra Mobile PC)
such as PDA, Portable PC.)
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 below:

ꢃꢃ
■
■
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.
802.11B (also known as wireless Ethernet or Wifi) and Bluetooth communication devices are examples of devices that
provide wireless communication.
Caution
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 devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the
authorization to use it. Please contact manufacturer for service.
Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or
contact manufacturer Technical Support for additional information.

Belgium
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:
The product may be used outdoors, but for outdoor trans-
missions over a distance of 300m or more, a license from
the BIPT is required.
This restriction should be indicated in the manual as fol-
lows:

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.
Dans le cas d’une utilisation privée, à l’extérieur d’un
bâtiment, au-dessus d’un espace public, aucun enregis-
trement n’est nécessaire pour une distance de moins de

trement auprès de l’IBPT est requise. Pour une utilisation
publique à l’extérieur de bâtiments, une licence de l’IBPT
est requise. Pour les enregistrements et licences, veuillez
contacter l’IBPT.
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.
Caution
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.

A DVD title has a region code according to the international specifications so that it can be played only in that specific
region.
DVD titles with a region code will only play on DVD drives and program for playing with the same region code.
A DVD drive is sold with an empty region code and the region code is set when the user inserts a DVD title into the drive for
the first time. Whenever a DVD title is inserted with a region code different from that of the DVD drive, the region code of the
DVD drive is automatically changed to the region code of the DVD title.
However, changing the region code of a DVD drive is limited to 5 changes. After that, the region code is permanently fixed
to the last region code. If you need to change the region code after changing the code 5 times, contact a service center.
Although a service center can help you in this case, you will be charged a service fee.

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.
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.
► Check the AP Settings
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.)
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.
●
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)
A4 Verify whether the AP is operating properly.
●
●
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.
●
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.)
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.
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.
●
●
It is recommended using a static IP.
Since static channel selection is more reliable
than auto channel selection, it is recommended
using a static channel.

About the Product Capacity
Representation Standard
Registered Trademarks
Samsung is a registered trademark of Samsung Co., Ltd.
SENS is a registered trademark of Samsung Electronics
Co., Ltd.
Intel, Pentium/Celeron are registered trademarks of the
Intel Corporation.
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)
Microsoft, MS-DOS, and Windows are registered
trademarks of the Microsoft Corporation.
“Memory Stick” and

All other product or company names mentioned herein are
registered trademarks of their respective companies.
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.
