Accessories
Gateway offers accessories that can help you make the most of using your
notebook. To order accessories, visit the Accessory Store at

.
Batteries and automobile/airplane power adapters
If you run your notebook on battery power for extended periods, you may want
to buy an additional battery so you can swap batteries when necessary. See
“Changing batteries” on page 151 for more information about using an
additional battery in your notebook.
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.
Carrying cases
Gateway has large-capacity carrying cases if you need additional space for
accessories or supplies.
Docking station
Although you can attach devices directly to your notebook, a docking station
lets you make all of those connections at one time. When you travel with your
notebook, you merely disconnect from the docking station instead of
unplugging all the devices.
A docking station also provides additional ports and other expansion features
not included with your notebook. See “Checking Out Your Gateway 200
Docking Station” on page 17 for more information about using a docking
station with your notebook.
Peripheral devices
You can attach devices (such as a keyboard, mouse, printer, or monitor) to your
notebook or docking station.
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” on page 246 for
more information.
