Introduction 9
1.4 Taking the Product Back and Recycling
The European Union has passed a directive called Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment, or WEEE for short, to ensure that systems are setup
throughout the EU for the collection, treating and recycling of electronic
waste.
This ensures that the devices are recycled in a resource-saving way representing
no danger to health or the environment.

WEEE Symbol
The WEEE symbol on the product or its packaging shows that the product
must not be disposed of as residual garbage.
The user is obliged to collect the old devices separately and return them to the
WEEE take-back system for recycling.
The WEEE directive concerns all ETAS devices but not external cables or
batteries.

sales and service locations (see "ETAS Contact Addresses" on page 25).
