7.3

For China

For product sold into China after 1st March 2007, we comply with the
"Administrative Measure on the Control of Pollution by Electronic Information
Products". In the first stage of this legislation, content of six hazardous materials
has to be declared together with a statement of the "Environmentally Friendly Use
Period (EFUP)": the time the product can be used in normal service life without
leaking the hazardous materials. TANDBERG Television expects the normal use
environment to be in an equipment room at controlled temperatures (around 22°C)
with moderate humidity (around 60%) and clean air, near sea level, not subject to
vibration or shock.
Where TANDBERG Television product contains potentially hazardous materials,
this is indicated on the product by the appropriate symbol containing the EFUP.
For TANDBERG Television products, the hazardous material content is limited to
lead (Pb) in some solders. This is extremely stable in normal use and the EFUP is
taken as 50 years, by comparison with the EFUP given for Digital
Exchange/Switching Platform in equipment in Appendix A of "General Rule of
Environment-Friendly Use Period of Electronic Information Products". This is
indicated by the product marking:
50
It is assumed that while the product is in normal use, any batteries associated with
real-time clocks or battery-backed RAM will be replaced at the regular intervals.
The EFUP relates only to the environmental impact of the product in normal use, it
does not imply that the product will continue to be supported for 50 years.
