Cables

For cables which are not delivered with the Product in the computer's packaging:
The EMC performance of the system is guaranteed only if the cable and interface use 
efficient shielding.
The use of shielded interface cable is required for USB, IEEE1394, serial, printer, game, 
analog or digital audio/ video, PS2, TV or FM antennas, and generally all high-speed 
cable interfaces.
Use only UL Listed No. 26AWG or larger telecommunication cords.
Only Ethernet LAN or RTC modem cable can have length exceeding 3 metres. 
Gateway recommends that you add a ferrite core round clip to each cable connecting your 
computer to a hardware device that was not included 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.
