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 power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your notebook is well below the 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 transmitter must not be collocated or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below:

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.

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.

802.11b Restrictions:

• European standards dictate maximum radiated transmit power of 100mW EIRP and frequency range 2.400-2.4835GHz;

A wireless network (Wireless LAN) environment is a network environment that enables communication between multiple computers at home or a small-size office through wireless LAN devices.

Using the wireless network connections between the systems, you can use normal network functions such as sharing of files, folders and printers. Using computer-to-computer network (ad hoc) connections, you can access the Internet through a computer connected directly to the Internet even if your computer is not directly connected to the Internet. For details, see “Using Network Services” on page 46.

The information provided in this section only applies to models equipped with an optional wireless LAN device.

To turn off the Wireless LAN

If the wireless LAN is turned on, the computer consumes more power, therefore shortening the amount of time you can run on battery. Therefore, if you are not using the WLAN or if you are in an environment that does not provide WLAN, you are recommended to turn off the WLAN by pushing the WLAN/Bluetooth button (p10) on the computer.

Wireless network connections can be classified into two categories.

1) Access Point

You can connect to an AP to use the network. This is possible only in an environment equipped with an AP. For details, see “Connecting to an Access Point (AP)” on page 36.

What is an Access Point (AP)?

An AP is a network device that bridges wired and wireless LANs, and corresponds to a wireless hub in a wired network. You can connect multiple wireless LAN installed computers to an AP.

2) Computer-to-computer (ad hoc)

This is also called a peer-to-peer or ad hoc network.

In computer-to-computer wireless networks, you can wirelessly connect 2 or more computers that have wireless LAN modules. Using computer-to-computer wireless

networks, you can access the Internet through a computer that is connected to the Internet even if your computer is not directly connected to the Internet. For details, see “Connecting to computer-to-computer networks (peer-to-peer or ad hoc)” on page 37.

Connecting to an Access Point (AP)

This section describes how to connect to an AP. You can use the network when you are connected to an AP.

Using Power Management Options

Your computer includes Power Management options that can help the battery charge last longer and extend the life of the battery. Power-management options will slow down or shut off system components when the components are not being used.

Power management may slow down system performance. Your computer runs fastest with the power cord attached, when power management is disabled.

In the next sections, basic and advanced methods of power management will be discussed.

Basic Power Management Schemes

This section discusses the basic schemes of power management when the computer is operating on battery power or using AC power.

Standby vs. Hibernation

Hibernation is a state where the contents of memory are stored in a special file on the hard disk, and Standby simply keeps a small holding current through the memory to keep the data. You are more likely to sustain loss of data in Standby mode so it is recommended to save all open files before entering Standby.

Changing Devices:

Do not change PC Cards while in standby or hibernate modes.

To enter the power management window complete the following:

1. Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance.

2. Click icon to display the Power Options Properties window.

3. Click the Power Schemes tab to display the basic power management options.

Power Options Properties Power Scheme: Alarms Power Meter Advanced Hibernate Select the power schemes with the most appropriate settings for the computer. Note that changing the settings below will modify the selected scheme. Power scheme: SAMSUNG Save As... Delete Settings for SAMSUNG power scheme When computer is Plugged in Running on batteries Turn off monitor: After 20 mins After 10 mins Turn off hard disks: After 25 mins After 15 mins System standby: After 30 mins After 20 mins System refreshes: After 45 mins After 45 mins OK Cancel Apply

By default, the power scheme is configured to SAMSUNG mode. SAMSUNG mode extends the battery life and optimizes the Intel Speedstep function. To use SAMSUNG mode after reinstalling Windows, install the PowerCFG program using the system software CD.

1. Select the time that you wish each of the following actions to occur in Battery and AC power mode.

2. Turn off monitor

3. Turn off hard disks
4. System standby
   • System hibernates

Turning off the monitor and HDDs will save a substantial amount of battery power, therefore when in battery only mode select the shortest time practical.

Hibernate Mode (Power Management or Manual Method)

When hibernation is used, your computer turns off and when you power up again, everything is restored exactly as you left it—including programs and documents you may not have saved or closed. Everything in memory gets saved to the HDD, and the monitor and hard disk get turned off.

If You Reinstall Windows:

You should re-establish hibernate in power options by opening Power Options Properties window and click on the Hibernate tab then click "Enable Hibernation".

Power Options Properties Power Schemes Alarms Power Metals Advanced Hibernate When your computer hibernates, it stores whatever it has in memory on your hard disk and then shuts down. When your computer comes out of hibernation, it returns to its previous state. Hibernate Enable hibernation Disk space for hibernation Free disk space: 16,441 MB Disk space required to hibernate: 119 MB OK Cancel Apply Hibernate Tab

Frequent Interruptions:

If you experience frequent interruptions, you might also consider putting your computer into automatic hibernation after a specified number of minutes using the power management options.

Standby Mode (Power Management or Manual Method)

Standby is used mainly for conserving battery power in your notebook computer. It also gives you the benefit of getting right back to your work without waiting for the computer to restart. Standby turns off your monitor and hard disks, placing your entire system in a low-power state. When you return to your computer, restores your desktop exactly as you left it. It is recommended that you do not enter standby mode with less than 20% battery power.

5. Click OK to set your power management options and close the window.

The following information helps you avoid potential problems as you use your computer:

Do not try to disassemble your computer. Opening the system chassis or removing the hard disk drive voids your warranty. Only an authorised Samsung service center can replace or add any parts inside the chassis.

- Follow all the instructions and cautions in your computer user documentation.

- The LCD has a polarized surface and can be damaged easily. To prevent damage, avoid touching the screen.

- Use only approved AC adapters, auto adapters, memory modules and other options.

- Because a notebook computer is small and has restricted air flow around components, it is more likely to overheat than a desktop computer. A fan inside your computer runs when needed to help eliminate heat. Make sure the fan vent on the left side of your computer is not blocked when you use the computer. Occasionally check the vents and remove any accumulated dust on the outside.

- Avoid using or storing the computer in extremely hot or cold areas, such as a car on a hot day. Keep the computer away from heaters and out of direct sunlight. Exposure to excessive heat may damage computer components. If you have left your computer in a hot place, let it cool down slowly to room temperature (with the LCD panel open) before using it.

- Do not remove the memory-module compartment door, or try to install a memory module when the computer is on.

- Set up your computer work area to avoid physical strain. Sit with your back straight and supported by your chair. Adjust your chair or work table so that your arms and wrists can remain in a relaxed position, parallel with the floor. Avoid bending or twisting your wrists as you work. Your hands should “float” slightly above the keyboard. Refer to a book on office ergonomics for more information on setting up your work area.

- Take frequent breaks from working at the computer to rest your eyes and stretch your muscles.

- Remember to save your data files frequently and to make backup copies of your files.

Air Travel

If you are travelling by air, follow these tips:

• Take the computer with you as carry-on luggage. Do not check the computer with your baggage.
• Allow the computer and disks to go through the X-ray security devices. Do not hand-carry disks through the walk-through metal detectors, which can cause loss of data.
• Make sure that the battery is charged or the power cord is easily accessible. You may be required to turn on the computer for airport security personnel.
• Be prepared to turn off the computer during take off and landing.

Handling Spills

Do not spill anything on your computer. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and drinking around your computer. If you do spill something on your computer, turn off your computer, unplug it immediately, and do the following:

• If you spill liquid on the keyboard, drain as much of the liquid from the keyboard as possible. Be careful not to let the liquid drip onto the LCD panel. Allow the system to dry for several days before trying to use it.
• If you spill liquid on an external keyboard or keypad, unplug it and drain as much of the liquid as possible. Allow the keyboard to sit at room temperature for a full day before trying to use it.

Sweet liquids leave a sticky residue that may jam the keyboard despite your efforts to dry it.

- If you spill liquid on the LCD panel, clean it immediately with a soft cloth and denatured alcohol or a proprietary LCD screen cleaner. Do not use water, window cleaner, acetone, aromatic solvent, or dry, rough towels to clean it.

Some liquids damage the polarized LCD screen. If your screen is damaged, contact your local authorized Samsung service center for a replacement.

Storing the Computer for Long Periods

If possible, leave the power cord connected to the computer and an electrical outlet when the computer is not in use. This extends the life of the battery and keeps the battery fully charged.

If you will not be using the computer for a long period of time (a month or more), you should charge the battery until it is completely full. After you have done so, remove the battery from the unit.

Select the Standard tab in the right pane, double-click Wireless Zero Configuration and check that Startup Type is configured to Automatic, and the Service status is Started.

Q6 The Wireless network connection operates properly, but the Wireless Network Connection icon on the Taskbar displays the "Disconnected" message.

A This is one of the known problems when you are using a wireless LAN connection after installing Windows XP service pack 1.

Check that the wireless LAN card is operating properly by initializing the device driver referring to A2 of Q5. For more information, refer to the following link for known problems with Microsoft.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q328647

Q7 When connecting to a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network, I cannot connect to another computer connected to the same computer-to-computer network.

A1 Make sure that the security settings and network name of the computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network is correct.

A2 Check the TCP/IP properties of the computers to be connected through the computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network. All of the computers to be connected

through a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network should be configured so that their IP addresses are within the same subnet range.

- If the IP address is configured to DHCP (Obtain an IP address automatically) in TCP/IP properties, IP address is configured within the same subnet range automatically.

- If the IP address is configured to static IP in TCP/IP properties, select Use the following IP address in the TCP/IP properties of the wireless adapter, configure IP address:10.0.0.1\~10.0.0.254, and Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0, and then try again.

Q8 When using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network, sometimes I cannot search the access point.

Q9 Running Help file while running Profile Wizard in the wireless LAN program (PROSet) makes the PROSet window white.

A It will be displayed properly when you finish the profile wizard. It does not affect the program operation.

Q10 The network does not operate properly when both the wireless and the wired network connections are simultaneously configured with the same IP address.

A You cannot use the wireless and the wired network connections using the same IP address simultaneously. To use either the wireless or the wired network in turn with the same IP address, you have to Disable whichever network device will not be using in the network connection of the Control Panel.

Q11 The wireless LAN does not operate properly when there are other products operating in the 2.4GHz band.

A Devices compliant with IEEE 802.11b, operate in the public frequency, ISM band. Therefore some channel interference may happen when there are other devices using the same frequency band such as a wireless video transceiver, a microwave oven, etc. If other products cause channel interference, changing the AP channel is recommended.

Q12 An established wireless LAN connection is disconnected after 2\~3 minutes, and the connection is not recovered.

A1 This may be caused by channel interference. Change the channel of the AP, and reconnect.
A2 This may be caused by selecting the 'Use IEEE 802.1x network authentication' option when IEEE 802.1x authentication is not available.

Check the properties of the AP in the wireless network settings. If the 'Use IEEE 802.1x authentication in this network' option is selected, deselect the option on the Authentication tab.

For more detailed information about authentication server, ask your network administrator.

A3 If the AP is configured to 'Use network authentication (Shared Key)'

If the AP is configured to authentication shared mode, all computers to be connected should be configured as follows:

- If you are using Windows XP, select network authentication(shared mode) in the wireless network settings.

Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Network Connections. Right-click the Wireless Network Connection icon, and click View Available Wireless Networks > Advanced. In the Wireless Networks tab, select an AP in the Available Networks field and click Configure and select 'Network Authentication (Shared Mode).

AC adapter

The AC (or alternating current) adapter regulates current coming into your computer from the wall outlet. The current at the wall outlet is alternating current and needs to be changed by the adapter to DC (direct current) before your computer can use it for power.

ACPI

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)- a method for describing hardware interfaces in terms abstract enough to allow flexible and innovative hardware implementations and concrete enough to allow shrink-wrap OS code to use such hardware interfaces.

BIOS

BIOS stands for basic input/output system. The BIOS is software (often called firmware) that is independent of any operating system. It enables the computer to communicate with the screen, keyboard, and other peripheral devices without using programs on the hard disk.

The BIOS on your computer is flash BIOS, which means that it has been recorded on a flash memory chip that can be updated if needed.

Boot

To start your computer. A cold boot resets the entire computer and runs through all computer self-tests. A warm boot clears out computer memory only.

Boot disk

A disk containing operating system programs required to start your computer. A boot disk can be a floppy disk, hard drive, or compact disc.

Byte

The basic unit of measure for computer memory. A character—such as a letter of the alphabet—uses one byte of memory. Computer memory is often measured in kilobytes (1,024 bytes) or megabytes (1,048,576 bytes).

Each byte is made up of eight bits. For more information on bytes and bits, see an introductory book on computers.

Cache memory

Cache is very fast, zero-wait-state memory located between the microprocessor and main memory. Cache reduces the average time required by the microprocessor to get the data it needs from the main memory by storing recently accessed data in the cache.

CardBus

CardBus technology enables the computer to use 32-bit PC Cards. Hardware in the computer and the Windows operating system provide support for the 32-bit cards. The voltage of 32-bit cards (3.3 volts) is lower than that of 16-bit cards (5 volts). The 32-bit cards can transmit more data at a time than the 16-bit cards, thus increasing their speed.

CMOS memory

CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) memory is powered by the CMOS battery. The System Setup settings and other parameters are maintained in CMOS memory. Even when you turn your computer off, the information in CMOS memory is saved.

COM port

COM stands for communication. COM ports are the serial ports in your computer.

Compact Disc

A compact disc (CD).

Conventional memory

The first 640 KB of system memory. Operating systems and application programs can directly access this memory without using memory-management software.

Disk

The device used by the computer to store and retrieve information. Disk can refer to a floppy disk, hard disk, or RAM disk.

Disk cache

A software device that accumulates copies of recently used disk sectors in RAM. The application program can then read these copies without accessing the disk. This, in turn, speeds up the performance of the application.

A cache is a buffer for transferring disk sectors in and out of RAM. Data stored in a disk cache is a copy of data already stored on the physical disk.

DMA (direct memory access)

A method of transferring data from a device to memory without having the data pass through the microprocessor. Using DMA can speed up system performance.

DPMS

Display Power Management Signalling. Displays or monitors that comply with this can be managed by the Power Management features found in the system setup.

Floppy disk

A removable disk, also called floppy or diskette.

Hard drive

Also called fixed disk. A hard drive is connected to the computer and can be installed or removed. Data written to a hard drive remains until it is overwritten or corrupted.

The 2.5-inch hard drive in your computer was designed for use in a notebook computer. Because hard drives in notebook computers are smaller than those in desktop computers, their maximum storage capacity may be less than that of desktop hard drives. However, because of their smaller size, the drives handle shock and vibration better than larger drives, which is important for a notebook computer.

I/O

Input/output. Refers to peripheral devices, such as printers, that are addressed through an I/O address.

I/O address

I/O stands for input/output. Peripheral devices, such as printers, are addressed through the I/O port address.

IRQ (interrupt request line)

The IRQ is a hardware line that a device uses to signal the microprocessor when the device needs the microprocessor's services. The number of IRQs is limited by industry standards.

LCD (liquid-crystal display)

The LCD screen on your computer differs from the display screen of a desktop monitor. Most desktop monitors use CRT (cathode-ray tube) displays, which work by moving an electron beam across phosphor dots on the back of the screen. The phosphor dots light up to show the image. LCDs use a liquid-crystal solution between two sheets of polarizing material. Electric current passing through the liquid aligns the crystals so that light can or cannot pass through them, creating an image.

MB (megabyte)

1,024 kilobytes.

Megabit

1,048,576 bits or about 128 kilobytes.

Operating system

A program that supervises the computer's operation, including handling I/O. Application programs and users can request operating-system services. A user might request operation-system services to copy files or format a disk. An application program might use the operating system to obtain keyboard input, write data to a file, or write data to a screen.

PC Card

PC Card stands for personal computer card. The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) defines the standards used to develop all PC Cards. PC Card types include: modems, Ethernet adapters, SCSI adapters, ATA cards, and memory cards.

PC slot

The PC slot is the hardware slot in the computer where the PC Card is placed.

Pixel

A pixel is an individual dot in a graphic displayed on your computer. The pixels are so close together that they look as though they are connected. An LCD screen displays thousands or millions of pixels.

Plug and Play

A plug and play operating system automatically configures computer components to work with your system. With this type of operating system, you normally do not need to set jumpers on devices or set memory addresses or IRQs.

RAM (random access memory)

The computer's system memory, including conventional and extended memory. You can write to and read from RAM. Information stored in RAM is temporary, and is erased when the system is turned off.

Refresh rate

The refresh rate is the rate at which the image on the LCD screen is rewritten to the screen. A fast refresh rate helps keep the image from flickering.

Resolution

The resolution is the sharpness or clarity of the image on your LCD screen. Resolution is measured by the number of pixels the computer's screen can display. For example, a resolution of 800 x 600 means that the screen can display 800 pixels in row and can display 600 rows. The more pixels displayed, the higher the resolution and the better the image.

ROM (read-only memory)

Permanent computer memory dedicated to a particular function. For example, the instructions for starting the computer when you first turn on power are contained in ROM. You cannot write to ROM. (ROM is not the same as RAM).

Sector

Also known as disk sector. The portion of a track that is numbered and can hold a specified number of characters (usually 512 KB).

Shadow RAM

A write-protected area of RAM that contains a copy of the BIOS. As the computer boots, the BIOS is copied from its permanent location in ROM to RAM. The BIOS can be executed much faster in RAM than in ROM. The BIOS remains in shadow RAM until you turn off the computer.

TFT (thin film transistor) LCD

A TFT LCD uses a separate transistor circuit to control each pixel. This technology provides the best resolution for an LCD screen. A TFT LCD is also sometimes called an active matrix LCD.
