I am having trouble with my PC. How do I perform a system restore?

Sometimes installing a program or driver can make Windows run slowly or unpredictably. System Restore can return your PC's system files and programs to a time when everything was working fine, potentially preventing hours of troubleshooting. It won't affect your documents, pictures, or other data.

  1. Before you start System Restore, save any open files and close all programs. System Restore will restart your PC.
  2. Open System Restore by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type System Restore, and then, in the list of results, click System Restore. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  3. Follow the steps in the wizard to choose a restore point and restore your computer.

Wireless Radio Use

This device is restricted to indoor use when operating in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency band.

FCC Bluetooth Wireless Compliance

The antenna used with this transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter subject to the conditions of the FCC Rules set forth above.

Exposure to Radio Frequency

Wireless radios and Bluetooth devices emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy like other radio devices. While the level of energy is less than other wireless devices (such as mobile phones), you are advised to use the wireless equipment in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Capacity Computer (Internal) HDD Capacity

The HDD capacity on VIZIO computers may appear to be smaller than the size stated in the product specifications, documentation or on the packaging. This is because manufacturers describe and advertise HDD space in terms of decimal capacity, a base of powers of 10. For example, one Gigabyte (GB) means 10^ = 1,000,000,000 bytes.

However, Microsoft® Windows and other operating systems and programs report storage capacity using powers of two. Thus, 1GB = 2^50 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and shows less storage space. Smaller capacity may also be reported by the Windows Explorer tool based on information about only one partition of the HDD at a time, with free space reduced by a hidden service or system recovery partition. Available storage capacity will also be less if the computer includes one or more pre-installed operating systems, pre-installed software applications or media content. The storage capacity of the HDD is as advertised but the actual formatted capacity may vary.

Greener Methods

ENERGY STAR®

The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ENERGY STAR® program is a joint effort between the EPA and manufacturers to promote energy-efficient products. Any VIZIO product bearing the ENERGY STAR emblem on the product or during a start-up screen has been certified to comply with the EPA ENERGY STAR requirements as shipped by VIZIO.

The Power Management feature enables the computer to enter a low-power (or "sleep") mode after a period of inactivity. To take advantage of this energy savings, the Power Management feature has been preset to power down the computer and monitor after the following specified periods of inactivity:

Operating SystemComputerMonitor
Integrated DesktopsWindows 730 minutes10 minutes

Both the computer and monitor can be woken from sleep mode through user interaction with any of the computer input devices (mouse, keyboard, and so on). You can help reduce electricity usage by shutting down your computer when it is not in use for longer periods of time, such as at night and on weekends. For more information on the ENERGY STAR program, visit: www.energystar.gov.

Screen Savers and Power Settings

Screen savers may prevent your computer from going to sleep and as a result waste power. Screen savers may also reduce the life of your monitor by increasing the number of hours the LCD backlight is on. The power settings of your computer are set to minimize energy use while maintaining optimal performance. Because of this VIZIO recommends that you do not disable the power settings.

Reduced Paper Use

For some products, VIZIO provides online-only user manuals. This enables us to reduce our carbon footprint and cut down on paper waste. It also allows us to make frequent product updates, and ensures that you always have the most recent product information. Products with an online-only user manual are packaged with a printed Quick Start Guide to help you get up and running quickly.

VIZIO Return Policy - Direct Sales

If you purchased your computer from a retail store, then returns or exchanges of your computer are controlled by the return policies of such retail store where you purchased your computer. Please contact the store for more information. If you purchased your computer online or directly from VIZIO, you may return your computer to VIZIO, within the applicable return policy period.

This return policy sets out the terms and procedures for returns for direct purchases of new computers from VIZIO. PLEASE DO NOT RETURN YOUR COMPUTER TO VIZIO WITHOUT PRIOR AUTHORIZATION.

VIZIO's return policy allows for computers purchased directly from VIZIO to be returned by the original purchaser during the initial 30 day period following the date of purchase. First, you must obtain a VIZIO return authorization number for each item and part to be returned as provided below. The refund will be the purchase price actually paid by the purchaser, less shipping and handling and any applicable restocking fee. For partial returns, your credit may be less than the invoice or individual component price based on bundled pricing or any promotional discounts or other reductions.

Unless the computer is defective or the return is a direct result of a VIZIO error, VIZIO may charge up to 10% of the purchase price paid as a restocking fee per each item returned. Shipping and handling for returning the computer to VIZIO must be paid for by you and is not refundable.

The return authorization number must first be obtained from VIZIO's Customer Service by emailing CustomerSupport@VIZIO.com or by calling (877) 698-4946, 5:00AM to 7:00PM Pacific Time. Please note that holiday hours may vary. For up to date information, please visit www.VIZIO.com.

Computers must be returned to the address specified by VIZIO Customer Service and must be shipped in the original packaging, with freight prepaid to VIZIO, and must be received in new and unused condition, along with all media, cables/ cords or other accessories, documentation and any other items included in the original purchase shipment. The returned computer must be complete and as received, thus you agree not to remove or modify any originally loaded software and/or hardware parts. All return authorization numbers must be included in the packaging. VIZIO reserves the right to assess fees for any damaged or missing parts in addition to the 10% restocking fee. Return authorization numbers are valid for only 15 days from issuance. This

means that you must ship the computer(s) and/or part(s) to VIZIO within 15 days of your receipt of the return authorization number. You are responsible for and must prepay all shipping charges and assume all risk of loss or damage to the computer while in transit to VIZIO. If the computer is returned to VIZIO: (1) without a VIZIO return authorization number; and/or (2) beyond the 15 day period; and/or (3) without proper packaging, VIZIO retains the right to refuse delivery of such return, or may return the computer to you at your expense with no refund issued.

Upon receipt of your return, as long as such return complies with this return policy and as authorized by VIZIO in its sole discretion, VIZIO will issue a credit or a refund of the purchase price paid, less shipping and handling and any applicable restocking fees.

For defective products, please see VIZIO's "Limited Warranty".

Warning: Before returning a computer to VIZIO, please remove all personal, confidential and proprietary information from the computer and remove any removable/external devices, such as compact discs, memory cards, memory sticks or flash drives. VIZIO is not responsible for any personal, confidential or proprietary information left on your computer, loss of or damage to data, or lost or damaged removable devices that are included with your returned computer.

Before returning a computer for service, make sure to back up any data on the hard drive(s) and on any other storage device in the computer.
