The Advanced® Model BR2 Service Manual
International concern about environmental
pollution resulting from improper disposal of
products and materials at the end of their use-
ful life has resulted in an increase in legisla-
tion to control the methods and procedures
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 prod-
ucts and recycling of their components once
they are withdrawn from use.
Since regulations governing the disposal of
your instrument and accessories 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 author-
ized 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 dis-
posal or recycling with no further
involvement on your part. Alternately,
the supplier can provide you with spe-
cific instructions for actions that you
can take to dispose of the product prop-
erly.
• Contact your local government agency
responsible for waste collection and
disposal. They can identify procedures
and restrictions in effect to ensure
proper disposal, and available locations
where products can be sent.
• Contact Advanced Instruments Hot-
Line Service:
• 800 225-4034 (toll-free within the
USA and Canada; after normal busi-
ness hours, dial extension 2191)
• +US 781-320-9000 (elsewhere)
• 781-320-0811 (fax)
Service personnel will provide you
with contact information for local dis-
posal, or instructions for returning the
product directly to Advanced
Instruments.
