WEEE directive (Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment)
GE is an active participant in Europe's Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) take-back initiative,
directive 2002/96/EC.
The instrument that you have bought has required the
extraction and use of natural resources for its produc
-
tion. It may contain hazardous substances that could
impact health and the environment.
In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances
in the environment and to diminish the pressure on our
natural resources, we advise you to use the appropriate
take-back systems. Those systems will reuse or recycle
in an environmentally safe way most of the materials of
your instrument which is no longer capable of functioning.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use
those systems.
If you need more information on the collection, reuse,
and recycling of recyclable material, please contact your
local waste management company.
Visit our website at www.ge-mcs.com for take-back in-
structions regarding our systems and for more informa-
tion about this initiative.
