TANDBERG 1700MXP USER GUIDE

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, CO2 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.net 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:

•Model number of TANDBERG product

•Your company’s name

•Contact name

•Address

•Telephone number

•E-mail.

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.
