ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

 It is the intention of Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics, Inc. to be a responsible corporate citizen, 

operating in compliance with known and applicable environmental regulations, and a good neighbor in the communities where we make or sell our 

products.

WEEE DIRECTIVE: 

EU Directive 2002/96/EC “Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE)” impacts most distributors, sellers, and 

manufacturers of consumer electronics in the European Union. The WEEE Directive requires the producer of consumer electronics to take responsibility 

for the management of waste from their products to achieve environmentally responsible disposal during the product life cycle.

WEEE compliance may not be required in your location for electrical & electronic equipment (EEE), nor may it be required for EEE designed and intended as 

fixed or temporary installation in transportation vehicles such as automobiles, aircraft, and boats. In some European Union member states, these vehicles 

are considered outside of the scope of the Directive, and EEE for those applications can be considered excluded from the WEEE Directive requirement.

This symbol (WEEE wheelie bin) on product indicates the product must not be disposed of with other household refuse.  It must be disposed of and 

collected for recycling and recovery of waste EEE. Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics, Inc. will mark all EEE products in accordance with the 

WEEE Directive. It is our goal to comply in the collection, treatment, recovery, and environmentally sound disposal of those products; however, 

these requirements do vary within European Union member states. For more information about where you should dispose of your waste equipment 

for recycling and recovery and/or your European Union member state requirements, please contact your dealer or distributor from which your product 

was purchased.

ROHS STATEMENT:

 Product designed and intended as a fixed installation or part of a system in a vessel may be considered beyond the scope of 

Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances 

in electrical and electronic equipment.
