nickel-plating or bright zinc-plating. Themembranekeyboardismadeof
polyester with silver wiring. On some models the keyboard contains LEDs.
Display frames and CF covers are made of halogen-free plastic, PC/ABS.

CircuitBoard
Note:
AlloperatorpanelsareRoHScompliant.
The electronics are complex and almost all elements of the periodic table are
represented.
Display
There is a separate circuit board for the display. The l iquid crystals in the display
are cyclohexane compounds. The fl uorescent tube contains mercury and lead
solder.
Batteries
The operator
panel contains a button cell lithium battery. The battery is not
classified a
s environmentally hazardous by the Swedish Battery Ordinance
