Connecting the AC adapter

You can run your convertible tablet PC using an AC adapter or your
convertible tablet PC's battery. The battery was shipped to you partially
charged. You should use the AC adapter right away to fully charge the
battery. Allow three hours for the battery to fully charge.
Important
To connect the AC adapter:
1
Connect the power cord to the AC adapter.
Caution
24
If the battery is not fully charged before you use your
convertible tablet PC on battery power for the first time,
the battery life may be much shorter than you expect. If
the battery life seems short even after being charged for
three hours, the battery may need to be recalibrated. For
information on recalibrating the battery, see
the battery" on page
Make sure that you use the AC adapter that came with
your convertible tablet PC or one of the same type
purchased from Gateway.
Replace the power cord if it becomes damaged. The
replacement cord must be of the same type and voltage
rating as the original cord or your convertible tablet PC may
be damaged.
