Important

Use a password that

you can remember,

but that is difficult for

someone else to guess.

The password feature

is very secure, with no

easy way to recover a

forgotten password. If

you forget your

password, you must

return your notebook

to Gateway for service.

■

Use a startup password to restrict access to
your notebook. The startup password is set
using the BIOS utility.

■

Review the information in “Protecting your
notebook”

in the online User Guide.

Power

■

Take your AC power adapter to recharge
the battery(ies). If you are traveling
internationally, take power plug adapters.

■

Take a portable surge protector to protect
your notebook from power surges.

■

To get the best performance from your
notebook, avoid using the battery(ies)
whenever possible, monitor the battery
charge, and use the most efficient power
management settings. For information on
conserving battery power, using alternate
power sources, and monitoring the battery
charge, see

“Managing Power” on page 49

Additional tips

■

If you plan to use several USB peripheral
devices, take a portable USB hub to
provide additional USB ports.

■

Take a network cable if you need to
connect to a network. Some hotels provide
Internet connectivity only through their
networks.

■

If your notebook has been exposed to cold
temperatures, allow it to warm to room
temperature before turning it on.
