European Environmental Directives

As a manufacturer of electrical and electronic equipment TANDBERG is responsible for compliance with
the requirements in the European Directives 2002/96/EC (WEEE) and 2002/95/EC (RoHS).
The primary aim of the WEEE Directive and RoHS Directive is to reduce the impact of disposal of
electrical and electronic equipment at end-of-life. The WEEE Directive aims to reduce the amount of
WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by requiring producers to arrange for collection and
recycling. The RoHS Directive bans the use of certain heavy metals and brominates flame retardants to
reduce the environmental impact of WEEE which is land filled or incinerated.
TANDBERG has implemented necessary process changes to comply with the European RoHS Directive
(2002/95/EC) and the European WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC).
1.3.3.

Waste Handling

In order to avoid the dissemination of hazardous substances in our environment and to diminish the
pressure on natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems in your area.
Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of your end of life equipment in a
sound way.
TANDBERG products put on the market after August 2005 are marked with a crossed-out
wheelie bin symbol that invites you to use those take-back systems.
Please contact your local supplier, the regional waste administration or
http://www.tandberg.net/recycling if you need more information on the collection and recycling system
in your area.

Digital User Guides

TANDBERG is pleased to announce that we have replaced the printed versions of our User Guides with a
digital CD version. Instead of a range of different user manuals, there is now one CD -- which can be
used with all TANDBERG products -- in a variety of languages. The environmental benefits of this are
significant. The CDs are recyclable and the savings on paper are huge. A simple web-based search
feature helps you directly access the information you need. In addition, the TANDBERG video systems
now have an intuitive on-screen help function, which provides a range of useful features and tips. The
contents of the CD can still be printed locally, whenever needed.
