Both the TDS Recon X-Series and Ranger X-Series handheld computers are WEEE and RoHS compliant. These environmental requirements were initiated by the European Union (EU) and are gaining worldwide acceptance.
TDS Recons and Rangers manufactured before the advent of these new directives may not meet these requirements. Here is how to identify whether your Recon or Ranger are RoHS compliant: Ranger: TDS has designated a product code change for the Ranger X-Series. Ranger X-Series units which don't meet RoHS requirements are designated with "ST1" in the product code. Product designations are plainly printed on the main label in the battery compartment. RoHS compliant Rangers are designated with "ST2". For example, the model designation ST2-TY5GADB is RoHS compliant, while ST1-MY5CMDB is not compliant. All packaging materials and most accessories are compliant for RoHS. All battery packs are exempt from RoHS under EU Battery Directive 91/157/EEC. Recon: TDS has designated a product code change for Recon. Recons which don't meet RoHS requirements are designated with "H-175" or "H-176". RoHS compliant Recons are designated as "RE3" on the main label in the battery compartment. Product designations are plainly printed on the main label in the battery compartment. For example, the model designation RE3-MY4BMDB is RoHS compliant, while H-175-002231-10 is not compliant. All packaging materials and most accessories are already compliant for RoHS. All battery packs are exempt from RoHS under EU Battery Directive 91/157/EEC. TDS Non-compliant Products and Accessories: A few TDS accessories do not have a RoHS compliant alternative. In the interest of our customers, TDS will continue to sell these accessories to locations that are not yet restricted by RoHS. If you have questions on any of these parts, please work with your TDS Sales contact.
