Product End-of-Life Instructions Dell Inc.
PRODUCT FAMILY
Dell Television Family
PURPOSE
The intent of this document is to provide guidance to recyclers on the presence of materials and components
at the product / family level, as required by the EU WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC. This document should also
help direct recyclers to proper methods for removing parts and general product disassembly instructions.
PRODUCT DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Most parts can be removed easily by hand. In some cases common household tools such as Philips and/or
flat-head screw drivers may be necessary. To remove discrete components such as the electrolytic capacitors,
needle-nose pliers may be helpful. Instructions for removing parts in each product can be found in the User
Documentation originally provided with the product. This documentation can be found online:

compounds (including
Beryllium Oxide)
Gasses - which fall under
Regulation (EC)
2037/2000 and all
hydrocarbons (HC)
Components with
pressurized gas which
need special attention
(Pressure > 1,5bar)
This product may contain plastic parts greater than 25 grams. Many of these
parts are bromine free. Regardless, these parts are labeled (usually molded
directly into the plastic) per ISO 11469:2000(E).
A typical label would look like:
> Polymer Abbreviation - FR(#) <
i.e. > PC + ABS FR(40) <
Flame retardant codes (FR(#)) are given in ISO 1043-4. Codes for some
Brominated flame retardants:
14 aliphatic/alicyclic Brominated compounds
15 aliphatic/alicyclic Brominated compounds in combination with antimony
compounds
16 aromatic Brominated compounds (excluding Brominated diphenyl ether
and biphenyls)
17 aromatic Brominated compounds (excluding Brominated diphenyl ether
and biphenyls) in combination with antimony compounds
22 aliphatic/alicyclic chlorinated and Brominated compounds
42 Brominated organic phosphorus compounds
Dell does not use capacitors with PCB.
Electrolytic capacitors (height and/or diameter greater than 25mm) may be
present in the power supply of this product.
Parts used in Dell products cannot contain asbestos or its compounds.
Parts used in Dell products cannot contain refractory ceramic fibers.
Parts used in Dell products cannot contain Radio-active substances.
Beryllium may be present in electronic components as a copper beryllium
alloy, which contains less than 2% beryllium. CuBe alloys may be used in
various components such as connectors, switches, relays, current carrying
springs, integrated circuit sockets, and RF shielding.
Parts used in Dell products do not contain gasses which fall under Regulation
(EC 2037/2000) and all hydrocarbons (HC).
Product does not contain parts with pressurized gas.
