Replacing the main battery
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 local hazardous material regulations.
The batteries 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 batteries promptly. Keep away from children.
Caution
If your notebook is connected to AC power, or if it has a charged secondary battery installed, you can change the main battery while the notebook is turned on. If your notebook has only a main battery and it is not plugged into an AC outlet, you must turn the notebook off while changing the battery.
To replace the main battery:
1 Disconnect your notebook from the optional port replicator.
2 If your notebook is on and is connected to AC power or has a charged secondary battery installed, go to Step 3.
If your notebook is on, is not plugged into an AC outlet, and does not have a charged secondary battery installed, save your work and turn off the notebook.
3 Turn your notebook over so the bottom is facing up.
4 Slide the battery lock to the unlocked position, then slide the battery release latch.
