	
Disconnect	main	power	plug	and	remove	the	battery	before	continuing.
  T
o utilize the dual channel feature, using memory modules with the same specifications (of the same capacity and from the 
same	manufacturer)	is	recommended.
  O
nly use the same type of memory as specified in the Product Specification.
	
The	images	used	for	the	illustration	are	of	a	representative	model,	therefore	the	images	may	differ	from	the	the	actual	product.

Battery Usage Time Information
A	battery	is	an	expendable	supply,	so	when	using	it	over	
a	long	time,	the	capacity/battery	life	is	shortened.	If	the	
battery	life	is	reduced	to	under	half	of	its	initial	time,	we	
recommend	purchasing	a	new	battery.
When	not	using	the	battery	for	a	long	time,	store	the	
battery	after	charging	it	to	30- 40%	of	its	capacity.	This	
extends	the	battery	life	time.

Extending the Battery Usage Time
Decreasing the LCD Brightness
Press	the	 Fn	 +		keys	on	the	keyboard	to	decrease	
the	LCD	brightness	to	extend	the	battery	usage	time.
Using the Battery Calibration Function
When	charging/discharging	the	battery	repeatedly	for	a	
short	 time	only,	 the	battery	usage	time	 may	be	reduced	 by	
the	difference	between	the	actual	battery	charge	and	the	
remaining	charge	display.
In	this	case,	the	actual	battery	charge	and	the	remaining	
charge	display	will	be	the	same	by	discharging	the	battery	
completely	using	the	Battery	Calibration	function,	and	
then	recharging	it	again.
1
	 Disconnect	the	AC	power	adapter	after	turning	off	 the	computer.
2
	 Restart	your	computer	and	press	the	F2	 button	when	
the	Samsung	logo	appears,	to	start	the	BIOS	Setup.
3
	 Move	to	the	Boot > Smart Battery Calibration 	item	
using	the	direction	keys	and	press	< Enter>.
4
	 Highlight	 Yes	 in	the	 Battery Calibration 
Confirmation 	
 window	and	press	< Enter>.
T
he	Battery	Calibration	function	is	activated	and	
the	battery	is	forcefully	discharged.	To	stop	the	
operation,	press	the	< Esc>
 	button.
This	operation	requires	3~5	hours	depending	on	the	
battery	capacity	and	the	remaining	battery	charge.
