■ Do not drop your convertible tablet PC or subject it to other physical
shocks.
■ To completely turn off all convertible tablet PC power, turn your
convertible tablet PC off, remove the battery, and disconnect the AC
adapter from the electrical outlet.
■ The bottom of your convertible tablet PC can become warm with use.
■ Do not apply heavy pressure to your convertible tablet PC or subject it to
strong impact. Excessive pressure or impact can cause damage to
convertible tablet PC components or otherwise cause malfunctions.
■ Some PC Cards can become hot with prolonged use. Overheating of a
PC Card can result in errors or instability in the card’s operation. Be careful
when you remove a PC Card that has been used for extended periods.
Using the battery
■ Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where
metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery terminals.
The resulting excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures
and may result in heat damage.
■ Protect your convertible tablet PC, battery, and hard drive from
environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature
extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.
■ Replace only with a Gateway convertible tablet PC battery to avoid risk of
fire or explosion. For more information, see “Changing batteries” on
page 171.
■ Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do
not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. For more information,
see “Changing batteries” on page 171.
Using the AC adapter
■ Place the adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desktop or on the floor,
when you use it to run your convertible tablet PC or to charge the battery.
Do not cover the adapter with papers or other items that will reduce
cooling, and do not use the adapter while it is inside a carrying case.
■ Make sure that nothing rests on your adapter's power cable and that the
cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
