Ordering accessories
To order accessories, visit the Accessory Store at
www.gateway.com
. Accessories may not be available in all
localities.
Automobile/airplane power adapters
With an automobile/airplane power adapter, you can save
battery power by plugging your notebook into an automobile
cigarette lighter or an airplane in-flight power receptacle.
Batteries
If you run your convertible notebook on battery power for
extended periods, you may want to buy an additional main
battery or a multibay battery so you can swap batteries when
necessary. See “Changing batteries” on page 61 for more
information about using an additional battery.
Bay modules
Your convertible notebook’s modular bay supports different
bay modules, such as a CD, DVD, combination DVD/CD-RW, or
multi-format DVD±RW drive, or a multibay battery. See
“Changing modules” on page 44 for more information.
Carrying cases
Gateway has large-capacity carrying cases if you need
additional space for accessories or supplies.
Hard drives
If you want to increase your internal storage space, try
replacing your existing hard drive with a larger drive. See
“Replacing the hard drive kit” on page 90 for more
information.
Memory
Large programs, such as multimedia games or graphics
programs, use a lot of memory. If your programs are running
more slowly than you think they should, try adding more
memory. See “Adding or replacing memory modules” on
page 87 for more information.
Pens
Order replacement tablet pens from Gateway. The convertible
notebook does not respond to other tablet pens, plastic pens,
or PDA stylus.
