System Protection Feature

• If the system becomes too hot, the system protection feature automatically stops recharging and switches the power mode to Hibernate or Off.
• The Chromebook system has to cool down before it can be reactivated.

Precautions for Operating System
If a problem occurs due to the installation of an operating system other than the operating system (OS) provided when purchasing the product, or of other incompatible software, free service and exchange/refund are excluded.

Precautions for Data Loss
LG Electronics Inc. does not provide warranty for data loss. In order to minimize damage from data loss, please make backup copies of important data.

Information on Hard Drive/Memory Capacity

• Information on Hard Drive (HDD, SSD, eMMC) Capacity
• The hard drive capacity shown by OS is lower than that stated by the hard drive manufacturer due to a difference in calculation.

Manufacturer| Hard drive manufacturers use a decimal definition of 1 KB = 1,000 Bytes.

100 GB Storage Device (HDD, SSD, eMMC): 100,000 MB /

1,000 Bytes = 100 GB

---|---
OS| OS use the binary definition of 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes.

100 GB Storage Device (HDD, SSD, eMMC): 100,000 MB /

1,024 Bytes = 97.6 GB

RAM Capacity

• RAM capacity shown by OS may be lower than the actual capacity because the Chromebook uses shared memory for BIOS and the integrated graphics card.
• Due to BIOS using shared memory, 1,024 MB RAM may be reported as 1,022 MB or slightly less.
• If the Chromebook has integrated graphics card, 1,024 MB RAM may be reported as 1,022 MB or less than 1,000 MB.

Symbols

| Refers to alternating current (AC).
---|---
| Refers to direct current (DC).
__| Refers to class II equipment.
| Refers to stand-by.
| Refers to “ON” (power).
__| Refers to dangerous voltage.

Adjusting Volume (earphone/headphone and speakers)
Before using the earphone/headphone and speakers, check if the volume is too high.

• Do not discard the battery arbitrarily as you are requested to follow the local procedure for discarding the battery.
• Before using this machine, read this guide carefully.

Tip

• When the Chromebook is not to be used for a long period of time, refer to the following.
• Check the battery charge level on a regular basis and keep it at 50 %. This allows you to extend the battery life.
• If the battery is left fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery capacity and battery running time may be reduced.
• If the battery is left fully discharged for an extended period of time, it may become overdischarged and cannot be charged again.
• For more efficient use of the battery, read the following carefully.
• The battery runs low naturally even if it is kept unused.
• To increase battery lifespan, use the battery for a while before charging it rather than keeping the battery completely charged.
• If you don’t use the product for a long time with the battery completely discharged, the battery lifespan may decrease.
• The battery capacity may change due to chemical reactions during charge and discharge.
• LG Notebook frequently checks the charge level of its battery based on usage conditions, and then calculates and correctly indicates the actual remaining level of the battery.
• The battery is wearable goods and thus the life span may become shorter with use. The battery running time may also become shorter accordingly.
• When the battery is fully charged, the machine stops recharging. It resumes recharging when the battery charge rate drops below 95 %. This feature secures the safe and efficient use of the battery.
• When the temperature of the battery drops below 50 °F, it is charged in a low current to protect the battery cells. In this case, charging time may stretch to up to 32 hours.

Tip

If you use the system at a low temperature, refer to the following.

• The battery capacity may be reduced depending on the chemical characteristics of the battery and the system may not be turned on after it freezes or it is turned off.
• If the system freezes or if it is not turned on, connect the AC adapter to the system and charge the battery fully before use.
• If there is any error in the indication of the battery capacity, charge and discharge the battery two or three times at room temperature to return to the normal operation.

Regulatory Notices

FCC STATEMENT

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. this device may not cause harmful interference and
2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Any changes or modifications in construction of this device which are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. FCC Radio Frequency Interference Requirements (for UNII devices) High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this device. This device cannot be co-located with any other transmitter.

FCC/IC Radio Frequency Exposure
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does notproduce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. This device have been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules(<1.6W/kg).
