Display screen
• Use only your convertible notebook’s digital pen, a PDA
stylus, or your finger on the display. Do not write on
the surface with an ink pen or pencil.
• Nothing heavier than your writing hand should be
placed on top of the display.
• Protect the display surface from unnecessary contact
by turning the screen so it is in the notebook orientation
and closing it when transporting the Gateway
convertible notebook. For more information, see
“Converting from notebook to tablet mode” on page 42.
• Never spray or pour liquids directly on the display
surface.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
• Use the special cleaning cloth included with your
convertible notebook to wipe away dust and
fingerprints. Dampen the cloth with water or a mild
window glass cleaner solution but never spray anything
directly on the surface. If liquid collects around the
edges, wipe it up immediately.
Digital pen
• Always store the digital pen in the Gateway convertible
notebook’s pen holder when not in use. For more
information, see “Left” on page 7.
• Store extra digital pens horizontally in a box or drawer.
• Digital pens should not be stored vertically on the tip
because constant tip pressure can affect pen-screen
interaction.
• The digital pen has electronics in it, so it should not be
exposed to or immersed in liquids.
Replacing the pen point
Normal use can wear down the pen’s point, and also cause it
to pick up abrasive particles that may scratch the display.
Therefore, the pen ships with extra points and a replacement
tool.
