Chapter 3: Getting Started 3 Plug the power cord into a wall outlet. The battery charge indicator turns on (see "Status indicators" on page 33 for the location of the battery charge indicator). If the battery charge indicator does not turn on, unplug the adapter from your convertible tablet PC, then plug it back in. 4 When you finish using your convertible tablet PC for the first time, turn off your convertible tablet PC and leave your convertible tablet PC connected to AC power until the battery charge indicator turns blue. Warning Do not attempt to disassemble the AC adapter. The AC adapter has no user-replaceable or user-serviceable parts inside. The AC adapter has dangerous voltages that can cause serious injury or death. Contact Gateway about returning defective AC adapters. Important If the battery charge indicator does not turn blue after three hours, contact Gateway Customer Care at support.gateway.com. Protecting from power source problems During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into your convertible tablet PC can increase to levels far above normal levels and cause data loss or system damage. Protect your convertible tablet PC and peripheral devices by connecting them to a surge protector, which absorbs voltage surges and prevents them from reaching your convertible tablet PC. Warning High voltages can enter your convertible tablet PC through both the power cord and the modem connection. To protect your convertible tablet PC and avoid electrical shock, use a surge protector. If you have a telephone modem, use a surge protector that has a modem jack. If you have a cable modem, use a surge protector that has an antenna/cable TV jack. During an electrical storm, unplug both the surge protector and the modem. 26 www.gateway.com
