If you change the product's factory OS (Operating System) to another OS or if you install software which is not supported by the product's original factory OS, you will not receive any technical support, product exchange or refund, and a fee will be charged when requesting a service.

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.

Layout

• Features or options may differ depending on the model.
• The items marked as optional may not be provided or may be provided in different locations.
• Since some space on the HDD/SSD is reserved for system recovery and operations, the available space on the HDD/SSD may be less than the actual capacity.
• Images and screenshots may differ from the actual appearance of the product.

Samsung Recovery

What is a Recovery area?

The computer has an additional partition for restoring data or saving backup files (only for models with the Samsung Recovery application). This partition is called a Recovery area and it includes a recovery image comprised of the operating system and applications.

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 5–20 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.

What is a recovery image?

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 computer's 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.

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.

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 view 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.
