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.

The following information is only applicable to systems labeled with the CE mark

European Telecommunication Information (for products fitted with EU-approved modems)

Marking by the symbol indicates compliance of this 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:

CTR 21 – Attachment requirements for pan-European 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.

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. 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.

This equipment has been approved to Council Decision 98/482/EEC—“CTR 21” for Pan-European single terminal connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN termination point. In the event of problems, you should contact manufacturer Technical Support.

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

Do not try to disassemble your computer. Opening the system chassis voids your warranty. Only an authorised manufacturer 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 bottom of your computer is not blocked when the computer is in use. 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. (For information on installing memory modules, see “Installing a Memory Module” on page 68.)

- 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.

Locking your Computer

As a precaution when you are travelling or using your computer in an unsecured area, you should keep your computer as safe as possible. An option to do this is the Security Lock System. Follow the Security Lock System manufacturers instructions for specific installation and use. The following figure shows generally how to use the lock.

Diagram showing a vertical pipe connecting two adjacent devices, with a red sensor and cable (no text or symbols)

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 authorized manufacturer's 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.

Using the Keyboard

Your computer has an 87/88-key keyboard. By pressing designated key combinations, you can have access to all the key functions of a full-sized keyboard.

Using the Battery

Your computer uses a smart rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack for power when the AC adapter is not attached to an electrical outlet. The smart battery gives a accurate measurement of the current battery capacity which helps extend operating time by enabling effective power management in operating systems that take advantage of the accurate information supplied by the battery.

Charging the Battery

Your computer's battery starts charging automatically when you connect the power to the computer and to an electrical outlet. If the computer is off, the battery charges faster than if the computer's power is on.

Approximate charging times for the Li-Ion battery are:

• 4 hours with the computer off.
• 10 hours with the computer on.

While the battery is charging normally, the battery charge light on the computer is amber. When the battery is fully charged, the light changes to green.

When you use a new battery pack for the first time or use a battery after a long period of storage, the initial battery life is shorter than normal. Normal battery life resumes after a few discharge-recharge cycles.

Follow these rules for charging your battery:

• A battery normally discharges power when not used for long periods of time. Be sure to recharge the battery every two months when it is not in use.
• Make it a practice to discharge your battery fully before recharging the battery. This can help extend the life of the battery.
• Do not attempt to charge the battery in temperatures of under 0^ or over 45^

All batteries eventually wear out and lose the ability to hold a charge. You may need to replace your battery pack after a year of average usage.

Follow these guidelines to safely use the battery:

• Turn off your computer and unplug it if you accidentally:

- Expose the equipment to liquid.

- Drop, jar, or damage the computer.

- Do not disassemble the battery, heat it above 100^ C, or burn it. The battery used in this computer may cause a fire or chemical burn if mistreated.

- Your computer's rechargeable battery may be considered hazardous waste. If you replace your battery with a new one:

- Keep the old battery out of the reach of children.

- Dispose of the old battery promptly.

- Make sure that you follow all local requirements when you dispose of the old battery.

Removing and Installing a Battery

1. Turn off the computer and close the LCD.
2. Turn the computer over so the bottom of the computer faces up.
3. While sliding the battery latch inward, slide the battery compartment cover up and off the computer.

Hand pressing a button on a laptop keyboard, with red arrows indicating the press or navigation (no text or symbols visible)

1. Pull the battery out using a band on the battery.
2. To install the battery again, insert the battery with product information facing down. Close the battery compartment cover.

Battery life is affected by factors such as the power management settings in System Setup, the applications you use, and the brightness settings of the LCD. Under normal usage, the battery charge lasts approximately 2 hours.

Battery life estimates are subject to variation. The actual life of your battery may be less than the estimates given in the manual.

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 Schemes Tab Power Options Properties Power Schemes: Alarms Power Meter Advanced Hibernate Select the power scheme with the most appropriate settings for this computer. Note that changing the settings below will modify the selected scheme. Save As... Delete Power schemes Portable/Laptop Settings for Portable/Laptop power scheme When computer is: Plugged in Running on batteries Turn off monitor: After 15 mins After 5 mins Turn off hard disks: After 30 mins After 5 mins Systems standby: After 20 mins After 5 mins System hibemates: After 3 hours After 2 hours OK Cancel Apply

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

2. Turn off monitor:
   • Turn off hard disks:
   • System standby:
   • System hibernates:

Turning off the monitor and HDDs will save a substantial 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 Meter Advanced Hibernate When your computer hibemales, 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.

Standby Key:

The manual key combination will not activate Standby or Hibernate modes whilst you are playing a multimedia program or have an active USB device connected.

This section discusses the advanced power management schemes. There are two buttons that you can use to manually conserve power.

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 Advanced tab to display the advanced power management options.

4. Close the LCD and turn over the computer, then replace the screw you removed in step 2.

Resolution and Colour Depth

The resolution of the LCD is the sharpness of the image it can display. Resolution is measured by the number of pixels (individual dots) displayed on the entire screen. In general, the more pixels the LCD can display, the better the image.

The number of colours the LCD can display is measured by how many bits the LCD uses to represent each pixel:

• 16-bit colour can support 64 K (65,536) colours.
• 32-bit colour can support 16 M (16.8 million) colours.

All these video modes can be displayed on an external monitor. However, if you disconnect an external monitor that was attached to your computer and then start the computer, the LCD may revert to a different resolution than the one you chose for the external monitor.

Adjusting the LCD Brightness

There are 6 levels of LCD brightness (1: Dimmest \~ 6: Brightest). The default LCD brightness setting is level 4. Whenever you change the power source, the brightness level is changed to the following setting:

• When operating on AC power : Level 6 (Brightest)
• When operating on battery power : Level 1 (Dimmest)

Once the LCD brightness has been changed, the changed setting will be maintained after restarting the computer. When the power source is changed (AC to battery or battery to AC) while in operation, both the default brightness settings described above will be restored.

You can adjust the LCD brightness by pressing or on the keyboard.

The following sections describe how to configure the display settings on your computer.

For more information on the network authentication configuration procedures, ask your access point administrator.

Q2 The signal strength is excellent, but I cannot connect to the network.

Even if the signal strength is excellent, the network connection may not operate properly if the TCP/IP properties are not properly configured, or the network key (encryption key) is incorrect.

A1 Check that the TCP/IP properties are configured properly. When you connect to an AP, click the Wireless Network Connection icon on the taskbar and select the Support tab. If the IP is not allocated properly, the IP address will be displayed as follows. (e.g. 169.254.xxx.xxx)

If the network does not provide DHCP, you have to specify the correct IP address by asking your network administrator.

Even if the network provides DHCP, the server may not allocate an IP address to the client properly, and the client station cannot connect to the network.

A2 If you are using a network key (encryption key), an AP (Access Point) and a computer-to-computer network (peer-to-peer), you have to use the same network key. The network key of the AP is configured in the AP management program. Ask your network administrator for more detailed information.

Q3 I cannot share an Internet connection.

A1 It may require some time to synchronize the computers to share an Internet connection after the Internet connection sharing configuration is completed. If you cannot share Internet connection even after a longer period, restart the computer.
A2 Check if there is a configured bridge connection between the network adapters. If there is a configured bridge connection between the network adapters through the network configuration wizard, remove the network bridge, and reconfigure the Internet connection sharing.

Q4 I cannot connect to the AP wireless network.

A1 Check the wireless LAN radio environment. Using a wireless LAN may be restricted by the surrounding radio environment, and the distance between wireless stations. Also obstacles such as walls or doors may affect wireless LAN connections.

A2 Check that the AP is operating properly. Turn the AP off, and turn it on after a short wait.

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.

Zoomed video

Zoomed video technology enables zoom video PC Card to transfer data directly from the card to video and audio systems without going through the microprocessor. This process improves video performance. Video conferencing and real-time multimedia devices, such as video cameras, are supported by zoom video.

Samsung notebook provides Windows XP, 2000, or 98SE as operating system depending on the product model.

Because the use of Windows XP is similar to Windows 2000, the same User Guide (Online Manual) is used regardless of operating system installed on your notebook. However, since there are some differences in menus, screens, and operations, you need to refer to this Guide if your notebook's operating system is Windows 2000.

Registering Windows 2000

The procedure for registering your Windows presented in the Installation Guide is explained based on Windows XP. However, because registration procedure for Windows 2000 is similar, you can proceed the registration by following the direction displayed on the screens.

Locations of Programs folder and Control Panel

Windows 2000 Professional Windows Update Programs Documents Settings Search Help Run... Shut Down... Control Panel Network and Dial-up Connections Printers Taskbar & Start Menu... Location of Programs folder Location of Control Panel Start Click the Start menu.
