Environmental Issues

Thank you for buying a product which contributes to a reduction in
pollution, and thereby helps save the environment. Our products
reduce the need for travel and transport and thereby reduce pol-
lution. Our products have either none or few consumable parts
(chemicals, toner, gas, paper). Our products are low energy con-
suming products.

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 equip-
ment 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 Direc-
tive bans the use of certain heavy metals and brominated flame
retardants to reduce the environmental impact of WEEE which is
landfilled 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).

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 ad-
ministration or http://www.tandberg.net
information on the collection and recycling system in your area.
Information for Recyclers
As part of compliance with the European WEEE Directive, TAND-
BERG provides recycling information on request for all types of new
equipment put on the market in Europe after August 13th 2005.

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 informa-
tion you need. In addition, the TANDBERG video systems now have
an intuitive on-screen help function, which provides a range of use-
ful features and tips. The contents of the CD can still be printed
locally, whenever needed.
