Extending battery life
Installing a secondary battery
Your notebook’s modular bay accepts a secondary battery. The
secondary battery charges when the notebook is connected to
AC power.
To install a secondary battery:
■
Swap the secondary battery for a bay module by following the
instructions in
Extending battery life
Conserving battery power
To conserve power while using the battery to power your notebook:
■
Dim the display as low as is comfortable.
■
Remove PC Cards when you do not need them. Many PC Cards use
a small amount of power while inserted, even if they are not being
used.
Warning
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with a battery specifically manufactured for
your Gateway notebook. Discard used batteries according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
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.
