Protecting from power source problems
During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into your tablet PC
can increase to far above normal levels and cause data loss or system damage.
Protect your tablet PC and peripheral devices by connecting them to a surge
protector, which absorbs voltage surges and prevents them from reaching your
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.
Warning
High voltages can enter your tablet PC through both the
power cord and the modem connection. Protect your
tablet PC by using a surge protector. If you have a
telephone modem, use a surge protector that has a
modem jack. If you have a cable modem, use a surge
protector that has an antenna/cable TV jack. During an
electrical storm, unplug both the surge protector and the
modem.
