END OF LIFE STATEMENT
Disposal
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive aims to minimise
any adverse impact of electronic equipment on the environment, both during the
product lifetime and when it becomes waste. Within the European Union this
legislation is mandated by Directive 2002/96/EC, and there is similar legislation in
most other continents. The directive applies to all electronic products such as IT,
household appliances, portable electronics etc., and imposes requirements to
collect, treat, recover and recycle each product at its end of life. Electronic end-
user products must also carry a WEEE label (as below) and recovery and recycling
information has to be provided to the recycler.
This product contains traces of lithium in the battery pack. In addition it may
contain lead and brominated flame retardants (BFRs), both in the housing
material and circuit boards. In keeping with the directive, Orolia Ltd strongly
recommends that this product and its battery pack be disposed of in a sensible
and considerate manner. For example, do not simply discard the product in the
domestic waste. Instead take it to a civil recycling facility, or contact Orolia Ltd for
advice.
This device complies with the GMDSS provisions of part 80 of the FCC rules.
