Gateway recommends that you add a ferrite core round clip to each cable connecting your Gateway computer
to a hardware device that has not been delivered with your computer.
Ferrite reference: 28A-2029 from Steward (two loops)

TATEMENT
The optical devices are tested and certified to be compliant with International Electrotechnical Commission
IEC60825-1 and European EN60825-1 standards for Class 1 laser products.
Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous. The optical devices are designed such that there is never
human access to laser radiation above a Class 1 level during normal operation or prescribed maintenance
conditions.
The optical devices installed in your computer are designed for use solely as components of such electronic
product and therefore do not comply with the appropriate requirements of Code of Federal Regulation Sec.
1040.10 and Sec. 1040.11 for COMPLETE laser products.
Because exposure to laser radiation is extremely hazardous, under no circumstances should the user attempt to
disassemble the laser device.
