International concern about environmental pollution resulting from
improper disposal of products and materials at the end of their useful life
has resulted in an increase in legislation to control the methods and pro-
cedures used to handle waste electrical and electronic equipment. While
the regulatory status in some regions of the world has progressed to the
point where formal legislation is already in effect, many other regions
are in the process of creating similar legislation or adopting that already
in existence in other areas. The result in the years ahead will be more
stringent control over disposal of products and recycling of their compo-
nents once they are withdrawn from use.
Since regulations governing the disposal of your instrument and acces-
sories may vary depending upon your geographic location, the following
guidelines are provided to assist you in identifying the options available
to you once the decision has been made to replace or dispose of this
product:
• Contact the supplier who sold you the product. Whether this was
Advanced Instruments itself, or one of its authorized dealers, this
supplier should be knowledgeable about the national and local
regulations governing disposal and recycling of products in your
area. In some cases, this supplier may be legally obligated to
accept the product from you and arrange for proper disposal or
recycling with no further involvement on your part. Alternately,
the supplier can provide you with specific instructions for actions
that you can take to dispose of the product properly.
