2 Connect the AC adapter to your convertible tablet PC’s power connector.
3 Plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
The battery charge indicator turns on (see “LED status indicators” on
page 25 for the location of the battery charge indicator). If the battery
charge indicator does not turn on, unplug the adapter from your
convertible tablet PC, then plug it back in.
4 When you finish using your convertible tablet PC for the first time, turn
it off and leave it connected to AC power for at least 24 hours.
Protecting from power source problems
During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into your
convertible tablet PC can increase to far above normal levels and cause data
loss or system damage. Protect your convertible tablet PC and peripheral devices
by connecting them to a surge protector, which absorbs voltage surges and
prevents them from reaching your convertible tablet PC.
Warning Do not attempt to disassemble the AC adapter. The
AC adapter has no user-replaceable or user-serviceable
parts inside. The AC adapter has dangerous voltages that
can cause serious injury or death. Contact Gateway about
returning defective AC adapters.
