Connecting the AC adapter
Connecting the AC adapter
You can run your convertible notebook using an AC adapter or your
convertible notebook’s battery. The battery was shipped to you partially
charged. You should use the AC adapter right away to fully charge the
battery. Allow three hours for the battery to fully charge.
To connect the AC adapter:
1
Connect the power cord to the AC adapter.
Important If the battery is not fully charged before you use your
convertible notebook on battery power for the first time, the
battery life may be much shorter than you expect. If the
battery life seems short even after being charged for
three hours, the battery may need to be recalibrated. For
information on recalibrating the battery, see
“Recalibrating
the batteries” on page 75 .
Caution Make sure that you use the AC adapter that came with your
convertible notebook or one of the same type purchased
from Gateway.
Replace the power cord if it becomes damaged. The
replacement cord must be of the same type and voltage
rating as the original cord or your convertible notebook may
be damaged.
