Qualstar equipment is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In some cases, 
Qualstar equipment may not be new and may have been previously installed. Regardless, 
Qualstar’s warranty terms apply unless the equipment is specifically identified by Qualstar as 
“used” or “refurbished.”

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, 
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection 
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This 
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in 
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. 
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which 
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Shielded cables are 
required for this device to comply with FCC Rules. Use shielded cables when connecting this device

European Union Directive 89/336/EEC and Standard EN55022

(Electromagnetic Compatibility)

Canadian, and European standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

European Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

Qualstar encourages its customers to use current recycling practices in order to reduce 
the burden that waste electronic products place on the environment.

If you are retiring a fully functional tape library, you are encouraged to transfer the 
functional unit to a new user, thereby extending the useful life of the tape library. The 

manufacture of all products requires the consumption of energy. By extending the life of the tape 
library, energy is conserved.

In accordance with environmental directives that are being implemented in many countries (refer to 
the European Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment - WEEE), Qualstar provides 
customers with 

“End of Life Instructions”

 that identify the process for recycling the materials 

and components that make up a Qualstar tape library.
