PRODUCT DISPOSAL The 2002/96/EC Directive, known as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive, requires that used electrical and electronic products must be disposed of separately from normal household waste in order to promote reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery and to reduce the quantity of waste to be eliminated with a view to reducing landfill and incineration. The crossed-out dustbin logo is there to remind you that these products must be sorted separately for disposal. These rules concern all Gateway products and also all accessories, such as keyboard, mouse, speakers, remote control, etc. When you have to dispose of such products, make sure that they are correctly recycled by checking with your local authority, or by returning your old equipment to your retailer if you are replacing it. For information, visit www.gateway.com/about/corp_responsibility/environment.php. Battery disposal (when applicable) Before disposing of your equipment ensure that you have removed any batteries that may be fitted in the equipment. European law states that batteries must be collected for disposal separately from household waste. Do not throw your used batteries in the dustbin. Dispose of your used batteries via a battery collection scheme where available, or ask your distributor or local authority what infrastructures you can use. Your efforts will enable the safe collection, recycling and destruction of used batteries and will help protect the environment and reduce health hazards. - Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. Mercury advisory For electronic products containing a non-LED-backlit LCD/CRT monitor or display: Lamp(s) inside this product contain mercury and must be recycled or disposed of according to local, state or federal laws.
