Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old Equip-
ment and Used Batteries
1. In the European Union
This symbol on the products, packaging and/or accompanying docu-
ments means that used electrical and electronic equipment and batteries
should not be mixed with general household waste.
Used electrical/electronic equipment and batteries must be treated sep-
arately and in accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment,
recovery and recycling of these products.
By disposing of these products 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
This symbol is only valid in the European Union. If you wish to discard used products,
please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of dis-
posal.
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.
