Your Gateway notebook is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for 
safety of information technology equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this 
notebook, it is important that the safety instructions marked on the notebook 
and in the documentation are followed.
Setting up your system
Read and follow all instructions marked on the notebook and in the 
documentation before you operate your notebook. Retain all safety and 
operating instructions for future use.
Do not use this notebook near water or a heat source such as a radiator.
Set up the notebook on a stable work surface.
The notebook should be operated only from the type of power source 
indicated on the rating label.
If your notebook has a voltage selector switch, make sure that the switch 
is in the proper position for your area. The voltage selector switch is set 
at the factory to the correct voltage.
Openings in the notebook case are provided for ventilation. Do not block 
or cover these openings. Make sure you provide adequate space, at least 
6 inches (15 cm), around the notebook for ventilation when you set up 
your work area. Never insert objects of any kind into the notebook 
ventilation openings.
Some notebook are equipped with a three-wire power cord to make sure 
that the notebook is properly grounded when in use. The plug on this cord 
will fit only into a grounding-type outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are 
unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact an electrician to install 
the appropriate outlet.
If you use an extension cord with this notebook, make sure that the total 
ampere rating on the products plugged into the extension cord does not 
exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
If your notebook is fitted with a TV Tuner, cable, or satellite receiver card, 
make sure that the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to 
provide some protection against voltage surges and buildup of static 
charges.
Care during use
Do not walk on the power cord or allow anything to rest on it.
Do not spill anything on the notebook. The best way to avoid spills is to 
avoid eating and drinking near your notebook.
Some notebooks have a replaceable CMOS battery on the system board. 
There is a danger of explosion if the CMOS battery is replaced incorrectly. 
Replace the battery with the same or equivalent type recommended by 
the manufacturer. Dispose of batteries according to the manufacturer’s 
instructions.
When the notebook is turned off, a small amount of electrical current still 
flows through the notebook. To avoid electrical shock, always unplug all 
power cables and modem cables from the wall outlets before cleaning the 
notebook.
