Chapter 1: Checking Out Your Gateway 200

Gateway offers accessories that can help you make the most of using your 
notebook. To order accessories, visit the Accessory Store at 
accessories.gateway.com.

If you run your notebook on battery power for extended periods, you may want 
to buy an additional battery so you can swap batteries when necessary. See 
“Changing batteries” on page 151 for more information about using an 
additional battery in your notebook.

With an automobile/airplane power adapter, you can save battery power by 
plugging your notebook into an automobile cigarette lighter or an airplane 
in-flight power receptacle.

Gateway has large-capacity carrying cases if you need additional space for 
accessories or supplies.

Although you can attach devices directly to your notebook, a docking station 
lets you make all of those connections at one time. When you travel with your 
notebook, you merely disconnect from the docking station instead of 
unplugging all the devices.

A docking station also provides additional ports and other expansion features 
not included with your notebook. See “Checking Out Your Gateway 200 
Docking Station” on page 17 for more information about using a docking 
station with your notebook.

You can attach devices (such as a keyboard, mouse, printer, or monitor) to your 
notebook or docking station.

Large programs, such as multimedia games or graphics programs, use a lot of 
memory. If your programs are running more slowly than you think they should, 
try adding more memory. See “Adding or replacing memory” on page 246 for 
more information.
