If your system is fitted with a TV Tuner, cable, or satellite receiver card, make sure that the
antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage
surges and buildup of static charges.

Care during use

Do not walk on the power cord or allow anything to rest on it.

Do not spill anything on the system. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and
drinking near your system.

Some products have a replaceable CMOS battery on the system board. There is a danger of
explosion if the CMOS battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

When the computer is turned off, a small amount of electrical current still flows through the
computer. To avoid electrical shock, always unplug all power cables and modem cables from
the wall outlets before cleaning the system.

Unplug the system from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel if:

The power cord or plug is damaged.

Liquid has been spilled into the system.

The system does not operate properly when the operating instructions are followed.

The system was dropped or the cabinet is damaged.

The system performance changes.

Replacement parts and accessories

Use only replacement parts and accessories recommended by Gateway.

Important

Do not use Gateway products in areas classified as
hazardous locations. Such areas include patient care
areas of medical and dental facilities, oxygen-laden
environments, or industrial facilities.

Caution

To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger
telecommunications line cord.
