Important safety information
Your Gateway product 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 only be operated from the type of power source indicated on the
rating label.
•
If your product 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 monitor 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 monitor 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 only fit 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.
Care during use
•
Do not walk on the power cord or allow anything to rest on it.
•
Do not spill anything on the system. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and
drinking near your system.
•
Do not expose the monitor to rain or use near water. If the monitor does get exposed
to moisture, unplug it and allow it to dry for 24 hours. Call Gateway Customer Care for
advice on whether the monitor is safe to turn back on.
•
When the monitor is turned off, a small amount of electrical current still flows through
the monitor. To avoid electrical shock, always unplug all power cables and modem cables
from the wall outlets before cleaning the system.

damage to your Gateway product.
