First things first
We would like to thank you for making a Gateway notebook your choice for
meeting your mobile computing needs.
Your guides
To help you use your Gateway notebook, we have designed a set of guides:
First off, the Just for Starters...poster helps you get started with setting up your
computer.
The printed Gateway LT Series User Guide contains useful information applying
to all models in the Gateway LT product series. It covers basic topics such as
Gateway Recovery Management, using the keyboard, Audio, etc. Please
understand that due to its nature, the Generic User Guide as well as the
Gateway System User Guide mentioned below will occasionally refer to
functions or features which are only contained in certain models of the series,
but not necessarily in the model you purchased. Such instances are marked in
the text with language such as "only for certain models".
The printed Quick Guide introduces you to the basic features and functions of
your new computer. For more on how your computer can help you to be more
productive, please refer to the Gateway System User Guide. This guide contains
detailed information on such subjects as system utilities, data recovery,
expansion options and troubleshooting. In addition it contains warranty
information and the general regulations and safety notices for your notebook.
It is available in Portable Document Format (PDF) and comes preloaded on your
notebook. Follow these steps to access it:
1 Click on Start, All Programs, Gateway Documentation.
2 Click on Gateway System User Guide.
Note: Viewing the file requires Adobe Reader. If Adobe Reader is
not installed on your computer, clicking on Gateway System User
Guide will run the Adobe Reader setup program first. Follow the
instructions on the screen to complete the installation. For
instructions on how to use Adobe Reader, access the Help and
Support menu.
