Connecting the AC adapter
You can run your notebook using an AC adapter or your
notebook’s battery. The battery was shipped to you partially
charged. You should use the AC adapter right away to fully
charge the battery. Allow three hours for the battery to fully
charge.
To connect the AC adapter:
1
Connect the power cord to the AC adapter.
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.
Caution
Make sure that you use the AC adapter that came with your notebook or
one of the same type purchased from Gateway. Replace the power cord if it
becomes damaged. The replacement cord must be of the same type and voltage
rating as the original cord or your notebook may be damaged.
Important
If the battery is not fully charged before you use your notebook on battery
power for the first time, the battery life may be much shorter than you expect.
If the battery life seems short even after being charged for three hours, t
he
battery ma
y need to be recalibrated. For information on recalibrating th
e battery,

“Recalibrating the battery” on page 60
