About the Product Capacity Representation Standard

About HDD Capacity Representation

The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that1KB=1,000 Bytes.

However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assumingthat 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows issmaller than the actual capacity due to the dif ference in capacity calculation.

(E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 74.5GB, 80x1,000x1,000x1,000byte/(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte = 74.505GB)

In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even smaller because someprograms such as Recovery Solution may reside in a hidden area of the HDD.

About Memory Capacity RepresentationThe memory capacity reported in Windows is less than the actual capacity of memory.

This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses a portion of memory or claims it for further use.

(E.g. For 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may report the capacity as 1,022MB orless)

Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercialaircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be turned off whiletraveling in an airplane.

802.11ABGN (also known as wireless Ethernet or Wi-Fi) and Bluetooth communicationdevices are examples of devices that provide wireless communication.

In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is harmfulor perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be restricted oreliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or ammable gas laden atmospheres arelimited examples where use of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. Whenin environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, askthe 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 yoursystem is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling between countries with yoursystem, 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 systemis fully assembled.

Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modicationto a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Please contact manufacturerfor service.

This equipment is designed to be connectedto the telephone network or promises wiringusing a compatible modular jack which is Part68 compliant. See Installation Instructions fordetails.

The REN is used to determine the quantityof devices which may be connected totelephone line. Excessive RENs on thetelephone line may result in the devices notringing in response to an incoming call. Inmost, but not all areas, the sum of RENs

should not exceed ve (5.0). To be certain ofthe number of devices that may be connectedto a line, as determined by total RENs,contact the local telephone company todetermine the maximum REN for the callingarea.

If the terminal equipment causes harm to thetelephone network, the Telephone Companywill notify you in advance that temporarydiscontinuance of service may be required.But if advance notice is not practical, the

Wireless devices that may be in your systemare only qualied for use in Canada if anIndustry Canada ID number is on the systemlabel.

When using IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN, thisproduct is restricted to indoor use due to itsoperation in the 5.15- to 5.25-GHz frequency

range. Industry Canada requires this productto be used indoors for the frequency range of5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potentialfor harmful interference to co-channelmobile satellite systems. High power radaris allocated as the primary user of the 5.25-to 5.35-GHz and 5.65 to 5.85-GHz bands.These radar stations can cause interferencewith and/or damage to this device.

The maximum allowed antenna gain for usewith this device is 6dBi in order to complywith the E.I.R.P limit for the 5.25- to 5.35 and5.725 to 5.85 GHz frequency range in point-to-point operation.

As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm(8 inches) between the wireless device andthe body, for use of a wireless device nearthe body (this does not include extremities)is typical. This device should be used morethan 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when

wireless devices are on.The power output of the wireless device (ordevices), which may be embedded in yournotebook, is well below the RF exposurelimits as set by Industry Canada.

This transmitter must not be collocated oroperate in conjunction with any other antennaor transmitter except the installed Bluetoothtransmitter.

Operation of this device is subject to thefollowing two conditions: (1) This devicemay not cause harmful interference, and(2) this device must accept any interferencereceived, including interference that maycause undesired operation of the device.

To prevent radio interference tolicensed service, this device isintended to be operated indoorsand away from windows to providemaximum shielding. Equipment (orits transmit antenna) that is installedoutdoors is subject to licensing.

The European variant is intended for use

throughout the European Economic Area.However, authorization for use is furtherrestricted in particular countries or regionswithin countries, as follows:

General

European standards dictate maximumradiated transmit power of 100 mW effectiveisotropic radiated power (EIRP) and the

frequency range 2400 – 2483.5 MHz.The low band 5.15 - 5.35 GHz is for indooruse only.

BelgiumThe product may be used outdoors, but foroutdoor transmissions over a distance of300m or more, a license from the BIPT isrequired.

This restriction should be indicated in themanual as follows:

Dans le cas d’une utilisation privée, à l’extérieur d’un bâtiment, au-dessus d’unespace public, aucun enregistrement n’est nécessaire pour une distance de moinsde 300m. Pour une distance supérieure à300m un enregistrement auprès de l’IBPTest requise. Pour une utilisation publique à l’extérieur de bâtiments, une licence de l’IBPTest requise.

European TelecommunicationInformation (for products tted withEU-approved modems)

Marking by the symbol indicatescompliance of this equipment to the Radioand Telecom Terminal Equipment Directive1999/5/EC. Such marking is indicativethat this equipment meets or exceeds thefollowing technical standards:

CTR 21 - Attachment requirements forpan-European approval for connection tothe analogue Public Switched TelephoneNetworks (PSTNs) of TE (excluding TE

supporting voice telephony services) inwhich network addressing, if provided, is bymeans of Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF)signaling.

Although this equipment can useeither loop disconnect (pulse) orDTMF (tone) signaling, only theperformance of the DTMF signalingis subject to regulatory requirements

for correct operation.It is therefore stronglyrecommended that the equipmentis set to use DTMF signalingfor access to public or privateemergency services. DTMFsignaling also provides faster callsetup.

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

However, due to differences between theindividual PSTNs provided in differentcountries, the approval does not, of itself, givean unconditional assurance of successfuloperation on every PSTN termination point.In the event of problems, you should contactmanufacturer Technical Support.
