REFERENCE GUIDE FOR SYSTEM INTEGRATORS

Thank you for buying a product which contributes to a reduc-
tion 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 consum-
able parts (chemicals, toner, gas, paper). Our products are low
energy consuming products.

TANDBERG’s Environmental Policy

Environmental stewardship is important to TANDBERG’s
culture. As a global company with strong corporate values,
TANDBERG is committed to following international environmen-
tal legislation and designing technologies that help companies,
individuals and communities creatively address environmental
challenges.
TANDBERG’s environmental objectives are to:

Develop products that reduce energy consumption, CO

2

emissions, and traffic congestion

Provide products and services that improve quality of life for

our customers

Produce products that can be recycled or disposed of safely

at the end of product life

Comply with all relevant environmental legislation.

European Environmental Directives

As a manufacturer of electrical and electronic equipment TAND-
BERG 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
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 sym-
bol that invites you to use those take-back systems.
Please contact your local supplier, the regional waste

administration or

http://www.tandberg.com/recycling

if you need more 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.
Please contact TANDBERG and provide the following details
for the product for which you would like to receive recycling
information:

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 con-
tents of the CD can still be printed locally, whenever needed.
