Pen
■Always store the pen in the Gateway Tablet PC’s pen holder when not in
use.
■Store extra pens horizontally in a box or drawer.
■Pens should not be stored vertically on the tip because constant tip pressure
can affect pen-screen interaction.
■The pen has electronics in it, so it should not be exposed to or immersed
in liquids.

Replacing the pen point

Normal use wears down the pen’s point, so the pen ships with extra points
and a replacement tool. To use the tool, grasp the old point with the ring and
pull. Insert a new point and apply slight pressure to set it in place.
Caring for your tablet PC
To extend the life of your system:
■Be careful not to bump or drop your tabletPC, and do not put any objects
on top of it. The case, although strong, is not made to support extra weight.
■When transporting your tablet PC, we recommend that you put it in a
carrying case.
■Keep diskettes and your tablet PC away from magnetic fields. Magnetic
fields can erase data on both diskettes and hard drives.
■Never turn off your tablet PC when the hard drive light is on because data
on the hard drive could be lost or corrupted.
■Avoid subjecting your tablet PC to extreme temperature changes. The case
and LCD panel can become brittle and easy to break in cold temperatures
and can melt or warp in high temperatures. Damage due to either extreme
is not covered by your warranty. As a general rule, your tablet PC is safest
at temperatures that are comfortable for you.
