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:

Caution

• 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.

A Press the Fn + ( _0^4 keys again.

If the problem continues even after pressing the key combination, this is because the current resolution is too high and is not supported by the projector. In this case, change the resolution to 1024x768 pixels.

When I connect a projector, the taskbar at the bottom of the screen is not displayed on the projector.

A This occurs because a WXGA LCD supports a resolution of 1280 × 800 pixels but the resolution is not supported by the projector. In this case, change the resolution to 1024 × 768 pixels (recommended).

The shortcut icons are not displayed on the screen even if I press the shortcut key.

A The shortcut icons only appear when the Easy Display Manager program is installed.

I have connected a monitor (or projector) to the computer, but the colors on the monitor are abnormally displayed.

A Check if the monitor and computer are properly connected with the signal cable and reconnect the cable if necessary.

Modem Related

I cannot hear the modem

A1 Check if the phone line is properly connected to the modem.
A2 Check if the modem driver is properly installed.

① Click Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Device Manager > Modem and then check if the model is not marked with a yellow exclamation mark. If it is marked with an exclamation mark, it means that the modem driver is not properly installed. In this case, remove the installed driver and install the driver again.
② If the modem is not marked with a yellow exclamation mark, double-click the installed modem and select Diagnosis tab > Query modem to diagnose the modem. If there is no reaction to the command, it means the modem is out or order.

In this case, restart the system or reinstall the modem driver and then diagnose the modem again.

(Close all applications using the modem before diagnosing the modem.)

When you are unable to make a call when using a switchboard

A In general, the dial tone of a switchboard or a digital phone switching system is not continuous unlike that of a PSTN line. Therefore, the modem may not make a phone call as it misreads the dial tone as a busy tone. In this case, perform the following.

When using the modem overseas

A1 Check if the country setting of the modem is set to the current country.

Since each country has slightly different telecommunication values, if the location is not set to the corresponding country, the modem may fail to make a phone call.

① Click Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound.
② Click on Phone and Modem Options.
③ In the Dialing Rules tab, click Edit.
4 In the General tab of the Edit Location window, set the Country/Region to your current country, enter the region code and then click the OK button.

A Verify whether the Wireless LAN LED is on. If it is turned off, turn it on by pressing the Wireless LAN On/Off button (Fn + [].)

The Wireless LAN device is operating properly, but I cannot connect to the Internet or to another computer.

This is due to an incorrect configuration, or a configuration error. Check the following:

A1 If you are using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network connection, check that the name of the configured network (SSID) is correct.
A2 If you are using a network key (encryption key), you have to use the same network key for an AP (Access Point) or a computer-to-computer network (Ad Hoc). The network key of the AP is configured in the AP management program. Ask your network administrator or AP manager for more detailed information.

A3 Check that the device driver is installed properly. If the driver is not properly installed, you will find a yellow exclamation mark on the network icon by clicking Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Device Manager > Network Adapter.

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

I cannot connect to the AP.

▶ Check the Computer Settings

A1 Click Start> All programs> Accessories> Windows Mobility Center and check the status of Wireless Device.

- When the Wireless Network status is 'Not connected'

The computer is not connected to AP. Check the AP status with reference to 'Check the AP Settings' below. Retry to connect after checking the network key settings (encryption key) of re-lated AP.

- When the Wireless Network status is Connected but the internet is not en-abled.

The computer is connected to AP but the AP or the network connected with the AP may have a problem.

- When a message of 'No wireless Adapter found' appear or a icon for Wire-less Network is not found in the Mobility Center.

The wireless device is set to 'Disabled' or the device is not detected. Check if the wireless device has been properly recognized through the Device Manager Window and check if the wireless device is set to Disabled by right-clicking it. Make sure it is set to Enabled.

A2 Verify whether the same network key (encryption key) has been entered for both the AP and the computer. The network key is an encryption key for encrypting the data transmitted between the AP and the computer. It is recommended setting the network key manually.

▶ Check the AP Settings

For the AP settings, refer to the User Guide provided by the AP manufacturer.

A3 Verify whether the environment is suitable for using a wireless LAN. The use of a wireless LAN may be restricted according to the environment and distance. Obstacles such as walls or doors affect the use of a wireless LAN. Install the AP in a high and open space, 50cm from the wall and far removed from any other radio signal sources.

A4 Verify whether the AP is operating properly.

- When the AP is not operating normally, turn off the AP, wait a short while, and turn it on again.

- Verify whether the AP's firmware is the most recent version. (Contact the AP manufacturer or the place where you purchased the AP for details of the AP firmware.)

A5 Verify whether the AP has been properly connected to the network. Verify whether the network is operating normally by connecting the wired network cable, which has been connected to the AP, to your computer.

A6 Check the network key settings (encryption key) again. When automatic code conversion (a passphrase function) has been selected and data communication is not functioning even with a normal wireless connection, it is recommended entering the network key (encryption key) manually.

A7 Check the AP settings as follows. (The following is recommended for a standard environment and thus may differ according to the specific wireless network environment.)

- When several APs are present simultaneously, check the channel settings for each AP. When different APs are using nearby channels, interference may occur between the electronic waves. Set the AP channels further apart from each other. (Ex: Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13)

- When an AP's SSID (Service Set ID) option is set to "Hide", you cannot search for that AP on the computer. We recommend unselecting the "Hide" option for the AP. The SSID is a name used for distinguishing one wireless LAN from another wireless LAN.

- It is recommended using Long Preamble. Preamble is a signal for data transmission synchronization. Short Preamble may be supported by some types of APs but may cause compatibility problems.

- It is recommended using a static IP.

- Since static channel selection is more reliable than auto channel selection, it is recommended using a static channel.

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

A1 Make sure that the security settings and network name of the computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network are correct.
A2 Check the TCP/IP properties of the computers to be connected through the computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network. All computers to be connected through the computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network should be configured so that their IP addresses are within the same subnet range.

• If the TCP/IP Settings are configured to DHCP, the address is automatically configured to an address within the subnet IP range. This will take about 2\~3 minutes.
• If the IP address is configured to a static IP in the TCP/IP properties, select Use the following IP address in the TCP/IP properties of the wireless adapter, configure an IP address between 10.0.0.1\~10.0.0.254, and a Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and try again.
• A fixed IP is recommended for a small-sized network.
• If you are using a DHCP IP address, the system boot time may be extended.

You must register the IP address allocated by the McAfee SecurityCenter as a 'Trusted IP'. Select the Advanced menu > Settings > Internet and Network > Advanced, and register the IP address or IP address range of a network in the 'Trusted or Blocked IP' field.

The wireless LAN does not work properly when there is a device operating on an adjacent frequency in the vicinity of the product.

A1 Channel interference may occur when a wireless video transceiver or a microwave oven is being used. If you experience channel interference from other equipment, we recommended changing the channel for connecting to the AP. For more information about AP settings, refer to the User Manual supplied by the AP manufacturer.
A2 Since IEEE802.11g equipment operates in hybrid mode when there is active IEEE802.11b equipment, the data rate may be degraded.

Windows Vista may not provide some functions properly when performing some applications especially games, or may cause a problem due to a device driver compatibility issue. For the latest device drivers and bug fixes, please refer to the respective company's website.

A 3D game does not work, or some functions are not working.

A Change the graphics settings of the game to '2D' or 'Software Renderer', then run the program again.

The game is not displayed smoothly on the screen.

A For 3D games, the texture data for the 3D screen display is saved to the system memory. If there is insufficient system memory, the data is saved to the hard disk drive and loaded to memory when required. This operation may temporarily stop displaying the picture on the screen. In this case, lower the game resolution or the screen settings.

BluetoothG

The Korean or Chinese characters in a business card received via Bluetooth are broken

A1 If you send a business card including Korean or Chinese characters by selecting a Select a business card in the file (*.vcf, *.vcd) option, the characters on the received card will be broken.

This is because the contents of the business card file are not set to Korean or Chinese characters (CHARSET). To resolve this problem, edit the contents of the business card file manually as follows.

① Right-click over a business card file (*.vcf, *.vcd) to be sent and select Connect Program > Select Program.
② Select Notepad from the program list.
3 Edit the file as follows. Example) "N:Magic Sens" => "N;CHARSET=KS_C_5601:Magic S For Korean, add "CHARSET=KS_C For Chinese Simplified (CHS), add "CHARSET=gb2312" For Chinese Traditional (CHT), add "CHARSET=Big5"

A2 Perform Send business card immediately in the Address Book of Microsoft Outlook or select Transmission by Outlook business card selection, and you will be able to transmit a business card without broken characters and without editing the VCF file.

When no headset is found or cannot be connected

A1 If the headset is already connected to another device, you will not be able to find the headset and cannot connect to the headset even if the headset is found. Disconnect the connection to the other device and then start the search again.
A2 If the headset is connected to a power adapter, you cannot make a Bluetooth connection. Disconnect the power adapter and then retry.
A3 In general, a Bluetooth headset has 2 operating modes, On/Off mode and Pairing mode. To connect the headset to another Bluetooth device such as a PC or cell phone, the headset must be in Pairing mode. Switch the headset to Pairing mode and then retry the search operation.

About the Product Capacity Representation Standard

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)

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.

Glossary

The Glossary lists the terminologies used in this User Guide. For terminologies other than these, look in Windows Help.

Backup

A way to save the current data to restore it later if necessary. A backup is a way to restore computer data when the data or computer is damaged.

DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory)

DRAM is a memory type whose cells consist of a capacitor and transistor manufactured at a low price. SDRAM is a memory type whose performance has been improved by synchronizing the clock with the external CPU clock. DDR SDRAM is a memory type whose performance has been improved by doubling the operating speed of the SDRAM and is widely used nowadays. This computer uses DDR SDRAM.

Device Manager

An administrative tool used to manage computer devices. You can add or remove hardware or update a device driver using the Device Manager.

Direct X

An application interface developed to enable Windows application programs to access hardware devices at a very high speed. Since the operating speed of graphics, memory and sound cards must be very fast to provide high quality video and sound for games, Direct X enables faster control and interaction between applications and hardware devices. By using Direct X, the multimedia performance of Windows has been hugely improved.

Driver

Software that interacts between the hardware and the operating system. An operating system knows the hardware information and controls the hardware. In general, a driver is supplied with the corresponding hardware device.

DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)

DVD was developed to replace CD (compact disk). Although the shape and size of the disc are the same as that of a CD, the capacity of a DVD is at least 4.7GB while the capacity of a CD is 600MB. DVD video is digital unlike VHS (analog) video and supports MPEG2 compression and digital audio. To play a DVD, a DVD drive is required.

Firewall

A security system used to protect an internal network or intranet from external networks through an authentication procedure.

Hibernation Mode

A power mode that saves all data in memory to the hard disk and turns the CPU and hard disk off. When canceling Hibernation Mode, all application programs that were running are restored to their last state.

Icon

This refers to a small image that represents a file that users can use.

LAN (Local Area Network)

A communications network connecting computers, printers and other devices within a local area such as within a building. A LAN enables all connected devices to interact with other devices on the network. The current LAN uses the Ethernet media access control method developed in the early 1980s. To connect to an Ethernet, a network card called a LAN card, Ethernet card or network interface card is required. To exchange data between computers, a protocol is required besides the hardware equipment. Windows XP uses TCP/IP as the default protocol.

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

There are Passive Matrix and Active Matrix LCD types. This computer uses the Active Matrix type LCD called a TFT LCD. Since an LCD is implemented by transistors instead of a cathode-ray tube unlike a CRT, its size can be slim. And because it does not blink, it reduces eye strain.

Network

A group of computers and devices, such as printers and scanners, connected by a communications link. A network can be either small or large and can be connected permanently through cables or temporarily through telephone lines or wireless links. The biggest network is the Internet, a worldwide network.

Notification Area

This refers to the right area of the Taskbar including program icons such as the volume control, the power options and the time.

A power mode that enables computers to save power consumption when they are not being used. When a computer is in Sleep Mode, the data on the computer memory is not saved to the hard disk. If the power is tuned off, the data in memory will be lost.

System File

System Files refer to files that are read and used by the Windows operating system. In general, system files must not be deleted or moved.

USB (Universal Serial Bus)

This refers to a serial interface standard developed to replace the conventional interface standards such as Serial and PS/2. While USB 1.1 supports 12Mbps (12 million bits per second), USB 2.0 supports a data rate that is 40 times (480Mpbs) faster than that of USB 1.1. The data rate of USB 2.0 is equivalent to that of IEEE1394. Therefore USB 2.0 is used for A/V devices supported by IEEE 1394 and a 2nd HDD and CDRW that require a high data rate.

Windows

The name of an operating system developed by the Microsoft Corporation. Windows Vista is installed on this computer.

Windows Media Player

A multimedia program included with Windows. Using this program, you can play a media file, create an audio CD, listen to a radio broadcast, search and manage media files, and copy files to a portable device, etc.
