Using Your Gateway Flat-Panel Monitor

4

Connecting power

To connect power:

 

1

Position your monitor so you can reach the back, then connect the power cord to the power 
connector under the back of your monitor.

2

Plug the power cord into a correctly grounded power outlet. We recommend using a surge 
protector to protect your monitor from voltage spikes.

Connecting a security cable

You can secure your monitor to your computer desk (or to another heavy object) with a cable lock. 
To connect a cable lock, follow the cable lock’s instructions to connect it to the Kensington lock 
slot on the back of your monitor (cable lock not included).
