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.
