Page 6 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) The actual capacity of storage device can be checked in the Main menu of the BIOS Setup, accessible by pressing F2 key during boot. For further instructions on how to enter the BIOS Setup, refer to "Settings and Upgrade" in the User Guide.

Page 26: Regulatory Compliance Statements
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:...

Other Questions 4GB memory is not recognized by Windows correctly. A This is due to a limitation in 32bit operating systems that exists in notebook computers of other manufacturers. Although the address space of the 32bit operating system is 2³²= 4294967296 = 4,096MB = 4GB, all of it cannot be allocated to memory, as some of it needs to be used for other purposes by the operating system. Because approximately 1GB of address space needs to be allocated to other system resources such as the BIOS, PCI Device, and VGA for a PC to operate normally. Therefore, even if 4GB of physical memory is installed, the address space allocated to memory is limited to approximately 3GB. Although users can upgrade their memory to 3 or 4GB, only 3GB is recognized even when 4GB of memory is installed, and a memory upgrade to 4GB is not recommended.
