Environmental information
The product you have purchased contains extracted natural resources that have been used in the
manufacturing process. This product may contain substances known to be hazardous to the
environment or to human health.
To prevent releases of harmful substances into the environment and to maximize the use of our
natural resources, MPC provides the following information on how you can responsibly recycle
or reuse most of the materials in your “end of life” product.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (commonly
known as WEEE) should never be disposed of in the
municipal waste stream (residential garbage
collection). The “Crossed-Out Waste Bin” label affixed
to this product is your reminder to dispose of your “end of life” product properly.
Substances such as glass, plastics, and certain chemical compounds are highly recoverable,
recyclable, and reusable. You can do your part for the environment by following these simple steps:
•
When your electrical or electronic equipment is no longer useful to you, “take it back”
to your local or regional waste collection administration for recycling.
•
In some cases, your “end of life” product may be “traded in” for credit towards the
purchase of new MPC equipment. Call MPC to see if this program is available in your
area.
•
If you need further assistance in recycling, reusing, or trading in your “end of life”
product, you may contact us at the Customer Care number and we will be glad to help
you with your effort.
Finally, we suggest that you practice other environmentally friendly actions by understanding and
using the energy-saving features of this product (where applicable), recycling the inner and outer
packaging (including shipping containers) this product was delivered in, and by disposing of or
recycling used batteries properly.
With your help, we can reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce electrical and
electronic equipment, minimize the use of landfills for the disposal of “end of life” products, and
generally improve our quality of life by ensuring that potentially hazardous substances are not
released into the environment and are disposed of properly.
Warning
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure. To
prevent exposure to laser beams, do not try to open the enclosure of a CD or
DVD drive.
