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 (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the 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.
Television antenna connectors protection (for systems fitted with TV/cable
TV tuner cards)
External television antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is to be connected to your Gateway PC, make sure that the antenna or cable system is
electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Warning
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.
Warning
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.
