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.  
Battery handling  
Batteries for the Remote Control are Long Life and Alkaline batteries saving the environment;  
please follow guidelines on the packing material for handling and disposal of the batteries.  
Waste handling  
No need to send material back to TANDBERG as there are no consumables to take care of.  
Please contact your local dealer for information on recycling the product by sending the main  
parts of the product for disassembly at local electronic waste stations, marking recyclable parts so  
the waste station can disassemble and re-use these parts.  
Production of products  
Our factories employ the most efficient environmental methods for reducing waste and pollution  
and ensuring the products are recyclable.  
Digital User Manuals  
TANDBERG is pleased to announce that it has replaced the printed versions of its User Manuals  
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 users directly access the information they 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 content of the CD can still be printed locally if the need  
arises.

1.1 At a Glance  
Codec  
The Codec is the heart of the system. The main task for the Codec is the compression of  
outgoing video, audio and data, the transmission of this information to the far end and the  
decompression of the incoming information - the name Codec comes from a combination of the  
two words compression and decompression.  
Remote control  
The remote control is used to control all functions of the  
system. If the screen saver is activated (black monitor),  
touching the remote control will automatically wake up the  
system. The remote control uses 4 AAA batteries. The  
system will tell you when batteries are running low.  
Change the batteries at the back of the remote control.  
The reach of the remote control signal is 20 meters. For  
users sitting in an open plan office, this can cause  
problems. Use the little, white switch placed under the  
batteries to change the reach of the signal from 20 meters  
to 2 meters. This will prevent you from unintentionally  
controlling your neighbor's video system, when you  
control your own system.  
Camera  
The built-in camera unit includes a high quality color camera with a fast pan/tilt/zoom action. The  
camera is controlled by the system's infrared remote control and operates pan/tilt and zoom.

Introduction  
Microphone  
The high quality table microphone is designed to use on a table during a videoconference. The  
ideal location for the microphone is on a flat surface at least 2m (6.5 ft) from the front of the  
system. The microphone should always be placed pointing away from the system with the cable  
towards the system. The system will automatically equalize sound levels. Loud and soft voices  
are picked up and transmitted to the far end at approximately the same level.
