Replacing the main battery

Danger of explosion if battery is
incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with a battery specifically
manufactured for your Gateway
notebook. Discard used batteries
according to local hazardous material
The battery used in this device may
present a fire or chemical burn hazard if
mishandled. Do not disassemble, heat
above 212°F (100°C), or incinerate.
Dispose of used battery promptly. Keep
away from children.
If your notebook is connected to AC
power, or if you have a charged

notebook is turned on. If your notebook is
not plugged into an AC outlet, and you do
not have a charged secondary battery
installed, you must turn the notebook off
while changing the battery or you will
lose any unsaved data.

port) for connecting devices such as a video camera.

unplugging all the devices.
A port replicator also provides additional ports and other expansion features
not included with your notebook. For more information about using a port
replicator, see the port replicator user guide.
