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 pollution. Our products have either none or few consumable parts (chemicals,
toner, gas, paper). Our products are low energy consuming products.

TANDBERG’s Environmental Policy

ƒ TANDBERG’s Research and Development is continuously improving TANDBERG’s

products towards less use of environmentally hazardous components and substances
as well as to make the products easier to recycle.

ƒ TANDBERG's products are Communication Solutions. The idea of these solutions is

to reduce the need for expensive, time demanding and polluting transport of people.
Through people’s use of TANDBERG’s products, the environment will benefit from
less use of polluting transport.

ƒ TANDBERG’s wide use of the concepts of outsourcing makes the company itself a

company with a low rate of emissions and effects on the environment.

ƒ TANDBERG’s policy is to make sure our partners produce our products with minimal

influence on the environment and to demand and audit their compatibility according to
applicable agreements and laws (national and international).

Environmental Considerations


Like other electronic equipment, the TANDBERG 3G Gateway contains components that may
have a detrimental effect on the environment. TANDBERG works continuously towards
eliminating these substances in our products.

ƒ Printed-wiring boards made of plastic, with flame-retardants like Chloride or Bromide.
ƒ Component soldering that contains lead.
ƒ Smaller components containing substances with possible negative environmental

effect.


After the product’s end of life cycle, it should be returned to authorize waste handling and
should be treated according to National and International Regulations for waste of electronic
equipment.
