9. Recycling and Disposal 

 

When  you  dispose  of  the  S124  fusion  splicer  or  standard  components, 

follow  your  local  disposal  regulations,  or  contact  Furukawa  Electric  Co., 

LTD or your local representative. To recycle, disassemble it first and sort 

each part by material and follow your local recycling regulations. 
 

 

Especially for European Union, in accordance with the European 
Parliament Directive 2002/96/EC, electrical parts and materials 
that  can  be  re-used  and/or  recycled  have  been  identified  in 
order that the use of new resources and the amount of waste 
can be minimized. 

 
S124 has a backup battery (lithium button cell battery) for backup calendar. 

How to remove the battery is indicated below. This should only be done at 

the end of the machines life.
