This statement may be used in documentation for your final product applications.
WEEE Directive
The WEEE Directive places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and importers to take-
back electronics products at the end of their useful life. A sister directive, ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous
Substances) complements the WEEE Directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the
products at the design phase. The WEEE Directive covers all Multi-Tech products imported into the EU as of
August 13, 2005. EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers are obliged to finance the costs of
recovery from municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE
requirements.
Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union
The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging, which indicates that this product must not be
disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of their waste equipment by
handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. The
separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural
resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For more
information about where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local city
office, your household waste disposal service or where you purchased the product.
