Proper Disposal of Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (EEE)

The European Union (EU) has enacted Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive
2002/96/EC (WEEE), which aims to prevent EEE waste from arising; to
encourage reuse, recycling, and recovery of EEE waste; and to promote
environmental responsibility.

In accordance with these regulations, all EEE products labeled with
the “crossed out wheeled bin” either on the product itself or in the
product literature must not be disposed of in regular rubbish bins,
mixed with regular household or other commercial waste, or by other
regular municipal waste collection means. Instead, and in order to
prevent possible harm to the environment or human health, all EEE
products(including any cables that came with the product) should be
responsibly discarded or recycled.

To identify a responsible disposal method where you live, please
contact your local waste collection or recycling service, your original
place of purchase or product supplier, or the responsible government
authority in your area. Business users should contact their supplier or
refer to their purchase contract.

manual to optimize the monocular’s operation.

DETECTION

I see something.

RECOGNITION

It’s a four-legged animal.

IDENTIFICATION

I can tell it is an Elk.

The SCOUT III Series monocular makes images from heat, not light, a
feat impossible for the naked eye or image intensied (I2) night vision
devices. This allows you to see clearly without any visible light. People,
animals, and objects all generate or reect heat and are clearly seen by
the Scout III Series camera in even the most adverse conditions.

Scout III series monocular enables the outdoor
enthusiast to:

• See animals and difcult terrain in reduced visibility
or total darkness

• See through smoke, dust, and light fog

• See camouage and foliage in any lighting conditions

• See more – and see farther – than with low-light
night vision goggles
