For Products with Radio Re­ceivers That Can Use an Ex­ternal Antenna (USA ONLY):

CATV (Cable TV) or Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to
this product, be certain that it is grounded so as to pro­vide some protection against voltage surges and static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code
(NEC), ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis­charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of an­tenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes
and requirements of the grounding electrode.

Note to CATV System Installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV (cable TV)
system installer’s attention to article 820-40 of the NEC,
which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be con­nected to the grounding system of the building, as close
to the point of cable entry as possible.

WEEE Notice

The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE), which entered into force as European
law on 13th February 2003, resulted in a major change in
the treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life.

The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the
prevention of WEEE, and in addition, to promote the reuse,
recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so
as to reduce disposal.

The WEEE logo on the product or on its box indicating
collection for electrical and electronic equipment consists
of the crossed-out wheeled bin, as shown below.

This product must not be disposed of or dumped with your
other household waste. You are liable to dispose of all your
electronic or electrical waste equipment by relocating
over to the specified collection point for recycling of such
hazardous waste. Isolated collection and proper recovery
of your electronic and electrical waste equipment at the
time of disposal will allow us to help conserving natural
resources. Moreover, proper recycling of the electronic
and electrical waste equipment will ensure safety of
human health and environment. For more information
about electronic and electrical waste equipment disposal,
recovery, and collection points, please contact your local
city center, household waste disposal service, shop from
where you purchased the equipment, or manufacturer of
the equipment.

RoHS Compliance

This product is in compliance with Directive 2011/65/EU
of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June
2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous
substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

For Products That Include Batteries

EU Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC

A new battery directive 2006/66/EC on Battery and
Accumulator replacing directive entered into force on the
26th September 2008. The directive applies to all types
of batteries and accumulators (AA, AAA, button cells, lead
acid, rechargeable packs) including those incorporated
into appliances except for military, medical and power
tool applications.

The directive sets out rules for collection, treatment,
recycling and disposal of batteries, and aims to
prohibit certain hazardous substances and to improve
environmental performance of batteries and all operators
in the supply chain.

Instructions for Users on Re­moval, Recycling and Disposal
of Used Batteries

To remove the batteries from your equipment or remote
control, reverse the procedure described in the owner’s
manual for inserting batteries.

For products with a built-in battery that lasts for the
lifetime of the product, removal may not be possible
for the user. In this case, recycling or recovery centers
handle the dismantling of the product and the removal
of the battery. If, for any reason, it becomes necessary to
replace such a battery, this procedure must be performed
by authorized service centers.

In the European Union and other locations, it is illegal to
dispose of any battery with household trash. All batteries
must be disposed of in an environmentally sound
manner. Contact your local waste-management officials
for information regarding the environmentally sound
collection, recycling and disposal of used batteries.

WARNING: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly
replaced. To reduce risk of fire or burns, don’t
disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts,
expose to temperature above 60°C (140°F), or dispose
of in fire or water. Replace only with specified batteries.

The symbol indicating ‘separate collection’ for all batteries
and accumulators shall be the crossed-out wheeled bin
shown below:

In case of batteries, accumulators and button cells
containing more than 0.0005 % mercury, more than 0.002
% cadmium or more than 0.004 % lead, shall be marked
with the chemical symbol for the metal concerned: Hg,
Cd or Pb respectively. Please Refer to the below symbol:
