The AC adapter should be used right away to fully charge the battery for the Gateway® M320 notebook. When you finish using your notebook for the first time, turn off your notebook and leave your notebook connected to AC power until the battery charge indicator turns off. When the battery status light goes off, the battery is fully charged. This may take 3 hours. If the battery life seems short even after being charged, the battery may need to be recalibrated.

Note: 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.
