CHAPTER 3: Setting Up and Getting Started
18
4 When you finish using your notebook for the first
time, turn off your notebook and leave your
notebook connected to AC power until the
battery charge indicator turns orange and stop
blinking.
Protecting from power source problems
During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity
coming into your notebook can increase to levels far
above normal levels and cause data loss or system
damage. Protect your notebook and peripheral
devices by connecting them to a
surge protector
,
which absorbs voltage surges and prevents them from
reaching your notebook.
Connecting to a
broadband modem or
network
Your notebook has a network jack that you can use
to connect to a cable or DSL modem or to a wired
Ethernet network.
Important
If the battery charge indicator does not turn blue after
three hours, contact Gateway Customer Care at the location
shown on the Customer Care label. For more information, see
“Gateway contact information” on page 2 .
Warning
High voltages can enter your notebook through both the
power cord and the modem connection. To protect your notebook
and avoid electrical shock, use a surge protector. If you have a
telephone modem, use a surge protector that has a modem jack. If
you have a cable modem, use a surge protector that has an
antenna/cable TV jack. During an electrical storm, unplug both the
surge protector and the modem.
