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.
