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.
Power subsystem
19V DC, 65W AC adapter
Temperature:
Operating:
5 °C ~ 35 °C
Non-operating: -20 °C ~ 65 °C
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,

“Extending battery life” on page 54
