    Appendix A: Safety, Regulatory, and Legal Information
    Telecommunications per Part 68 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR 47) (applicable to products 
    fitted with USA modems)
    Your modem complies with Part 68 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR 47) rules. On the computer or 
    modem card is a label that contains the FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this 
    device. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
    A telephone line cord with a modular plug is required for use with this device. The modem is designed to be 
    connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack which is 
    Part 68-compliant. See installation instructions for details.
    The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices which may be connected to 
    the telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an 
    incoming call. In most areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of 
    devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.
    If this device causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that 
    temporary discontinuance of service may be required. The telephone company may request that you disconnect 
    the equipment until the problem is resolved.
    The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could 
    affect the operation of this equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in 
    order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
    This equipment cannot be used on telephone company-provided coin service. Connection to party line service is 
    subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission or public service commission for information.
    When programming or making test calls to emergency numbers:
    ■Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.■Perform such activities in the off-peak hours such as early morning or late evenings.
    The United States Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a 
    computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless such message 
    clearly contains, in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the 
    transmission, the date and time it is sent, an identification of the business, other entity, or other individual 
    sending the message, and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or 
    individual. Refer to your fax communication software documentation for details on how to comply with the 
    fax-branding requirement.

    Industry Canada (IC) Unintentional emitter per ICES-003
    This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set 
    out in the radio interference regulations of Industry Canada.
    Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux 
    appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans le règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par Industrie 
    Canada.
    Telecommunications per Industry Canada CS-03 (for products fitted with an IC-compliant modem)
    The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets 
    certain telecommunications network protective, operation, and safety requirements. The Department does not 
    guarantee the equipment will operate to the users’ satisfaction.
    Before installing this equipment, users should make sure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of 
    the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of 
    connection. In some cases, the inside wiring associated with a single-line individual service may be extended by 
    means of a certified connector assembly. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above 
    conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

    Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by 
    the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give 
    the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
    Users should make sure, for their own protection, that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, 
    telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may 
    be particularly important in rural areas.
    The Ringer Equivalence Number ( R E N )  a s s i g n e d  t o  e a c h  t e r m i n a l  d e v i c e  p r o v i d e s  a n  i n d i c a t i o n  o f  t h e  
    maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an 
    interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer 
    Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
    Laser safety statement
    All Gateway systems equipped with CD and DVD drives comply with the appropriate safety standards, including 
    IEC 825. The laser devices in these components are classified as “Class 1 Laser Products” under a US Department 
    of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard. Should the unit ever need servicing, 
    contact an authorized service location.
    Wa rn i n g To avoid electrical shock or equipment malfunction do not attempt to 
    make electrical ground connections by yourself. Contact the 
    appropriate inspection authority or an electrician, as appropriate.
    Wa rn i n g Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other 
    than those specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation 
    exposure. To prevent exposure to laser beams, do not try to open the 
    enclosure of a CD or DVD drive.

    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 
    Wa s t e  B i n ”  l a b e l  a f f i x e d  t o  t h i s  p r o d u c t  i s  y o u r  r e m i n d e r  t o  d i s p o s e  o f  y o u r  “ e n d  o f  l i f e ”  p r o d u c t  
    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 u s e f u l  t o  y o u ,  “ t a k e  i t  b a c k ”  t o  y o u r  l o c a l  o r  r e g i o n a l  
    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.
