INSTRUCTIONS
Help to protect the environment
Information (for private households)
about the environmentally sound
disposal of electrical and electronic
equipment in accordance with the
WEEE directive (Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment).
This symbol on electrical and electronic
products and the documentation that
accompanies them indicates that
these products may not be discarded
together with ordinary household waste.
Instead the products must be taken
to a designated collection point where
they will be received free of charge for
disposal, treatment, reuse and recycling
as appropriate. In certain countries
products may also be returned to
the point of sale when purchasing an
equivalent new product. By disposing
of this product in the proper manner
you are helping to save valuable
natural resources and to eliminate the
negative effects that the irresponsible
disposal and management of waste can
have on health and the environment.
Please contact the relevant authorities
where you live for information about
your nearest WEEE collection point.
Disposing of this type of waste in an
unapproved manner may render you
liable to fine or other penalty according
to the law.
Disposing of damaged or exhausted
batteries
Do not dispose of discarded batteries
together with ordinary household waste.
In accordance with the law, damaged or
exhausted batteries must be taken to
the nearest collection point for batteries
or a battery management company.
Failure to comply with these regulations
may render you liable to fine or other
penalty.
