27I am having trouble with my PC. How do I perform a system restore?If you’re having problems with your PC, you can try to restore, refresh, or reset it. Restoring your PC is a way to undo recent system changes you’ve made. Refreshing your PC reinstalls Windows and keeps your personal files, settings, and the apps that came with your PC and apps that you installed from Windows Store. Resetting your PC reinstalls Windows but deletes your files, settings, and apps—except for the apps that came with your PC.For detailed instructions on how to restore, refresh, or reset your PC, go to:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pcThere is no sound from my PC’s speakers.• Increase the volume using the function keys (F8 and F9).• Ensure the volume is not muted. Press F7 to toggle the mute function.• Increase the volume control in Windows.• Confirm that the correct default playback device is selected.• If you are using external speakers or headphones, ensure they are securely connected to the PC. If they have a manual volume control, increase the volume using that control.

Regulatory information Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement 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. This device 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 receiver. Connect the equipment into 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. FCC Caution: Any Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Note: The country code selection is for non-US model only and is not available to all US model. Per FCC regulation, all WiFi product marketed in US must fixed to US operation channels only. Operations in the 5.15-5.25GHz band are restricted to indoor usage only. RF Exposure Information (SAR) This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard for wireless device employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: QDS-BRCM1068. 30
31Due to pre-installed software, media content, etc., the HDD capacity on VIZIO computers may appear to be smaller than the size stated in the product specifications, documentation or on the packaging. The storage capacity of the HDD is as advertised but the actual formatted capacity may vary.Exposure to Radio FrequencyWireless radios and Bluetooth devices emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy like other radio devices. While the level of energy is less than other wireless devices (such as mobile phones), you are advised to use the wireless equipment in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Capacity Computer (Internal) HDD CapacityENERGY STAR® The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR® program is a joint effort between the EPA and manufacturers to promote energy-efficient products. Any VIZIO product bearing the ENERGY STAR emblem on the product or during a start-up screen has been certified to comply with the EPA ENERGY STAR requirements as shipped by VIZIO.The Power Management feature enables the computer to enter a low-power (or “sleep”) mode after a period of inactivity. To take advantage of this energy savings, the Power Management feature has been preset to power down the computer and monitor after the following specified periods of inactivity:Greener MethodsOperating System Computer MonitorOn Battery Windows 8 15 minutes 5 minutesPlugged In Windows 8 30 minutes 10 minutesBoth the computer and monitor can be woken from sleep mode through user interaction with any of the computer input devices (mouse, keyboard, and so on). You can help reduce electricity usage by shutting down your computer when it is not in use for longer periods of time, such as at night and on weekends. For more information on the ENERGY STAR program, visit: www.energystar.gov.Screen Savers and Power SettingsScreen savers may prevent your computer from going to sleep and as a result waste power. Screen savers may also reduce the life of your monitor by increasing the number of hours the LCD backlight is on. The power settings of your computer are set to minimize energy use while maintaining optimal performance. Because of this VIZIO recommends that you do not disable the power settings.Reduced Paper UseFor some products, VIZIO provides online-only user manuals.
