Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old Equipment and Used Batteries
1. In the European Union
These symbols on the products, packaging and/or accompanying documents mean that used
electrical and electronic equipments and batteries should not be mixed with general household
waste.
Used electrical/electronic equipments and batteries must be treated separately and in accordance
with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling of these products. Following
the implementation by member states, private households within the EU states may return their
used electrical/electronic equipments and batteries to designated collection facilities free of
charge*.
In some countries your local retailer may also take back your old product free of charge if you
purchase a similar new one. *Please contact your local authority for further details.
By disposing of this product correctly you will help ensure that the waste undergoes the necessary
treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the environment
and human health which could otherwise arise due to inappropriate waste handling.
2. In other countries outside the EU
These symbols are only valid in the European Union. If you wish to discard these items, please
contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal.
For Switzerland: Used electrical/electronic equipment can be returned free of charge to the dealer,
even when you don’t purchase a new product. Further collection facilities are listed on the home
page of www.swico.ch or www.sens.ch.
Note for the batteries symbol (bottom two symbol examples): This symbol might be used in combination with
a designation for the chemical element or compound in use. In this case you have to comply with the
requirement set by the Directive for the chemicals involved.
