The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) mark applies only 
to countries within the European Union (EU) and Norway. Appliances are 
labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning 
waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The Directive 
determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances 
as applicable throughout the European Union. This label is applied to 
various products to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but 
rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive.
Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE 
marking per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive must not dispose of end of 
life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework 
available to them for the return, recycle, recovery of WEEE and minimize 
any potential effects of EEE on the environment and human health due to 
the presence of hazardous substances. For additional WEEE information

Notice on deleting data from your hard disk  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
As computers spread into every corner of life, they process more and more 
information. The data on your computer, some of it sensitive, is stored on 
a storage device called the hard disk. Before you dispose of, sell, or hand 
over your computer, you need to delete that data.
Handing your computer over to someone else without deleting the loaded 
software, such as operating systems and application software, may even 
violate License Agreements. You are advised to check the terms and 
conditions of those Agreements.
Deleting the data from the hard disk is not easy.
There are methods that seem to delete the data:
 Move the data to the recycle bin, and then choose the Empty recycle bin 
command.
 Use the Delete command. 
						

							106
Appendix E. Notices
 Format your hard disk, using the software for initializing it.
 Using the preinstalled recovery program, bring the hard disk back to 
factory-ship state.
These operations, however, only change the file allocation of the data; they 
do not delete the data itself. In other words, the data retrieval processing is 
disabled under an operating system such as Windows. The data is still 
there, even though it seems to be lost. Thus, it is sometimes possible to 
read the data by use of special software for data recovery. There is a risk 
that people of bad faith may read and misuse the critical data on hard 
disks for unexpected purposes.
To prevent the leakage of data, it becomes very important that you take 
responsibility for deleting all the data from the hard disk when you 
dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can destroy the data 
physically by smashing the hard disk with a hammer, or magnetically by 
means of strong magnetic power, thus making the data unreadable. But 
we recommend that you make use of the software (payware) or service 
(pay service) specifically developed for the purpose.
