Important safety information

Your Gateway system is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information

technology equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this product, it is important that the safety

instructions marked on the product and in the documentation are followed.

Setting up your system

•

Read and follow all instructions marked on the product and in the documentation before

you operate your system. Retain all safety and operating instructions for future use.

•

Do not use this product near water or a heat source such as a radiator.

•

Set up the system on a stable work surface.

•

The product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the

rating label.

•

If your computer 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 computer 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

system for ventilation when you set up your work area. Never insert objects of any kind

into the computer ventilation openings.

•

Some products are equipped with a three-wire power cord to make sure that the product

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 system, 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 system 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.

Replacement parts and accessories

Use only replacement parts and accessories recommended by Gateway.

Warning

Always follow these instructions to help guard against personal injury and

damage to your Gateway system.
