Appendix A: Safety, Regulatory, and Legal Information

Environmental information

The product you have purchased contains extracted natural resources that have been used in the manufacturing

process. This product may contain substances known to be hazardous to the environment or to human health.

To prevent releases of harmful substances into the environment and to maximize the use of our natural

resources, Gateway provides the following information on how you can responsibly recycle or reuse most of the

materials in your “end of life” product.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (commonly known as WEEE) should never be

disposed of in the municipal waste stream (residential garbage collection). The “Crossed-Out

Waste Bin” label affixed to this product is your reminder to dispose of your “end of life” product

properly.

Substances such as glass, plastics, and certain chemical compounds are highly recoverable,

recyclable, and reusable. You can do your part for the environment by following these simple

steps:

■

When your electrical or electronic equipment is no longer useful to you, “take it back” to your local or regional

waste collection administration for recycling.

■

In some cases, your “end of life” product may be “traded in” for credit towards the purchase of new Gateway

equipment. Call Gateway to see if this program is available in your area.

■

If you need further assistance in recycling, reusing, or trading in your “end of life” product, you may contact us

at the Customer Care number listed in your product’s user guide and we will be glad to help you with your

effort.

Finally, we suggest that you practice other environmentally friendly actions by understanding and using the

energy-saving features of this product (where applicable), recycling the inner and outer packaging (including

shipping containers) this product was delivered in, and by disposing of or recycling used batteries properly.

With your help, we can reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce electrical and electronic

equipment, minimize the use of landfills for the disposal of “end of life” products, and generally improve our

quality of life by ensuring that potentially hazardous substances are not released into the environment and are

disposed of properly.
