Getting Started

Installation Related

Do not install the product in places exposed 

to humidity such as bathrooms.

There is a danger of electric shock. Use the 

product within the operating conditions 

specified in the Manufacturers user manual.

Keep the plastic bags out of the reach of 

children.

There is a danger of suffocation.

Keep a distance of 15cm or more between 

the computer and the wall and do not place 

any objects between them.

This may increase the internal temperature of 

the computer and may cause an injury.

Safety Precautions

Do not install the computer on a slant or a 

place prone to vibrations, or avoid using the 

computer in that location for a long time.

This increases the risk that a malfunction or 

damage to the product will occur.

Be careful that people are not exposed to 

the computer’s ventilator, adapter, etc., as 

they generate heat over a long period of 

time when your PC is powered on.

Exposing a part of your body close to the heat 

from the vent or AC adapter for long periods of 

time may cause a burn.

Avoid blocking the vent at the bottom or 

side of the computer when using it on a bed 

or cushion.

If the vent is blocked, there is a danger of 

damaging the computer or overheating the 

inside of the computer.

For your security and to prevent damage, please read the 

following safety instructions carefully.

Since this is commonly applied to Samsung computers, 

some pictures may differ from actual products.

 

Warning

Failure to follow instructions marked with this symbol may 

cause personal injury and even fatality.
