2.15 Replacement and disposal of used devices
Replacement
When replacing obsolete devices, disconnect the devices concerned then complete the connections of the
new devices in compliance with the instructions printed on the respective leaflets.
In order to avoid short-circuits, take all the necessary precautions when removing used batteries.
Disposal
Do not burn used electronic devices, or allow them to pollute the environment (countryside, rivers, etc.).
Electronic devices must be disposed of in a safe environment-friendly way. When disposing used devices or
batteries, contact your local municipal offices for information regarding their disposal.
Informative notice regarding the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment
(Applicable in countries with differentiated waste collection systems)
The crossed-out bin symbol on the equipment or on its packaging indicates that the product
must be disposed of correctly at the end of its working life and should never be disposed of
together with general household waste.
The user, therefore, must take the equipment that has reached the end of its working life to the
appropriate civic amenities site designated to the differentiated collection of electrical and
electronic waste.
As an alternative to the autonomous-management of electrical and electronic waste, you can hand over the
equipment you wish to dispose of to a dealer when purchasing new equipment of the same type.
You are also entitled to convey for disposal small electronic-waste products with dimensions of less than
25cm to the premises of electronic retail outlets with sales areas of at least 400m
2
, free of charge and
without any obligation to buy.
Appropriate differentiated waste collection for the subsequent recycling of the discarded equipment, its
treatment and its environmentally compatible disposal helps to avoid possible negative effects on the
environment and on health and favours the re-use and/or recycling of the materials it is made of.
