UK

Information on the return of electrical and electronic waste in EU countries according to Directive 2002/96/EC, and its implementation in respective national regulations

a) Reason and Purpose of Separate Collection

Users of electrical and electronic equipment are required to dispose of used devices separately. 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 electronic 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. A separate collection and a selective treatment are the basis for environmentally-friendly disposal and protection of human health.

According to the particular terms, manufacturers are obligated to assume the costs associated 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.

Important Safety Information

- The notebook has been dropped or damaged.

- Cleaning

Never apply cleaning agents directly to the notebook. Use only a soft, lint-free cloth. Never use volatile (petroleum distillates) or scouring cleaning agents.

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). WLANs 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 WLANs, 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) WLANs 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 WLANs; this set a data transfer rate of 1 to 2 Mbit/s (Megabits per second). Under 802.11a+b+g, the new governing standard, the maximum data transfer rate is 54 Mbit/s over a frequency band of 2.4 or 5 GHz (Giga-hertz).

Additional safety notes for units with wireless LAN

A wireless LAN component is integrated into your Notebook. For this reason you must make sure that you comply with the following notes on safety:

• Switch off the Notebook when you are in an aircraft or while driving a car.
• If you are in a hospital, an operating room or close to an electronic medical system, switch off the wireless components in the Notebook! The radio waves which are transmitted could disrupt the working of the medical equipment.
• Keep the Notebook at least 20 cm away from a heart pace-maker, otherwise there is a risk that the radio waves could disrupt the normal working of the pacemaker.
• The radio waves which are transmitted could give rise to interference noise in hearing aids.
• When its radio components are switched on, do not place the Notebook close to inflammable gases or in an environment which could be at risk of explosion (e.g. paint shop), since the radio waves which are transmitted could set of a fire or an explosion.
• The range of the wireless connection depends on the environmental and other ambient conditions.
• When transferring data over a wireless connection, unauthorized Third Parties can also receive the data.

MAXDATA Computer GmbH is not responsible for disruptions to radio or television reception which are caused by unauthorized alterations to this unit. MAXDATA also accepts no responsibility for the replacement or the exchange of connecting cables and units which were not specified by MAXDATA Computer GmbH. The user alone is responsible for the elimination of disruptions caused by this type of unauthorized alteration; he is also responsible for the replacement or the exchange of the units.
