Chapter 3: Getting Started 2 Connect the AC adapter to your convertible notebook's power connector. 3 Plug the power cord into a wall outlet. The battery charge indicator turns on (see "Status indicators" on page 30 for the location of the battery charge indicator). If the battery charge indicator does not turn on, unplug the adapter from your convertible notebook, then plug it back in. 4 When you finish using your convertible notebook for the first time, turn off your convertible notebook and leave your convertible notebook 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. 22 www.gateway.com
