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.

If you wish to discard these items, please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal. 9 Appendix
