Notice:
This mark applies only to countries within the European Union (EU) and Norway.
This appliance is labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning waste electrical
and electronic equipment (WEEE). The Directive determines the framework for the return and recycling of
used appliances as applicable throughout the European Union. This label is applied to various products to
indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive.
In accordance with the European WEEE Directive, electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is to be
collected separately and to be reused, recycled, or recovered at end of life. Users of EEE with the WEEE
marking per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive, as shown above, must not dispose of end of life EEE as
unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to customers for the return,
recycling, and recovery of WEEE. Customer participation is important to minimize any potential effects of
EEE on the environment and human health due to the potential presence of hazardous substances in
EEE. For proper collection and treatment, contact your local IBM representative.
