Information on the return of electrical and electronic waste in EU countries according to Directive 2002/96/EC, and its im- plementation in respective national regulations a) Reason and Purpose of Separate Collection Users of electrical and electronic equipment are required to dispose of used devices sepa- rately. Electrical and electronic equipment must not be disposed of together with unsorted municipal solid waste (domestic refuse), as it contains a range of dangerous elements that cause problems for waste management. Separate collection from regular municipal waste is a prerequisite for the special treatment and appropriate recycling of electrical and elec- tronic waste. This is essential, as many components of electrical and electronic devices are damaging to the environment if they are not disposed of professionally. Disposing of the devices along with unsorted municipal waste can cause harmful substances to enter the waste flow. The consequence would be a considerable burden on the environment. b) Significance the ‘Crossed-Out Wheelie Bin’ The crossed-out wheelie bin is the symbol for separate collection. Electrical and electronic equipment marked with this symbol must not be disposed of to-gether with municipal sorted waste (domestic refuse). Such items can be handed in free of charge at public collection points. c) Reuse, Recycling and Recovery Electrical and electronic waste contains valuable raw materials such as iron, aluminum and copper. These components must be treated selectively. À separate collection and a selec-tive treatment are the basis for environmentally-friendiy disposal and protection of human health. According to the particular terms, manufacturers are obligated to assume the costs associ- ated with disposing of these devices as well as other obligations. This is to promote the chief objectives of reuse and recycling. For this to be possible, consumers must dispose of used devices that are no longer needed at communal collection points. Actively using these return and collection systems contributes to the reuse, recycling and recovery of electrical and electronic equipment and protects the environment. d) Weight Information on the weight of the acquired product can be found on the item list as well as on the packaging 8 Note

Wireless LAN (wireless network - abbreviation = WLAN) Your notebook may contain a Wireless LAN module (optional). This module allows you to set up a wireless-based network, and to connect with an existing wireless network. It works according to the IEEE802.11a+b+g standard. WLAN technology allows users to set up wireless connections inside a local area (e.g. in a company or campus building, or in a public building such as an airport). WLANSs can be used in temporary offices, in locations where it is not possible to set up extensive cable installations, or to extend an existing LAN so that users in different parts of a building can work at different times. There are two different ways to operate a WLAN. In fixed WLANSs, wireless stations (devices with radio network cards or external modems) set up connections with wireless access points, which act as bridges between the stations and the existing network backbone. In Peer-to-Peer (ad hoc) WLANSs several users can set up a temporary network within a limited area such as a conference room, without using access points, and providing there is no need to use network resources. In 1997 the IEEE confirmed the standard 802.11 for WLANSs; this set a data transfer rate of 1 to 2 Mbit/s (Megabits per second). Under 802.11a+b+g {n}, the new governing standard, the maximum data transfer rate is 54 (300) Mbit/s over a frequency band of 2.4 or 5 GHz (Gigahertz). MAXDATA Notebook PRO 5500 IR mn
