Environmental information  

This device must be disposed of in accordance with the laws 

and regulations of the country in which disposal occurs.

The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol 

 indicates that the product bearing this symbol 

may not be disposed of together with general household waste, but instead requires 
separate disposal. This requirement for separate disposal is based on the European 
Directive 2012/19/EU for electrical and electronic equipment, and the European Directive 
2006/66/EC for batteries. You can hand in the product at a municipal collection point, for 
example. This reduces the impact on natural resources and prevents contamination of the 
environment through the release of hazardous substances. 

Batteries containing more than 0.0005 percent of mercury by mass, more than 0.002 
percent of cadmium by mass or more than 0.004 percent of lead by mass are marked 
below the crossed-bin symbol with the chemical symbols (Hg, Cd, Pb) of the metals for 
which the limit is exceeded.

For further information regarding product disposal, please contact your local ResMed office 
or your specialist distributor, or visit our website at www.resmed.com.

Dispose of used air filters and air tubings according to the directives in your country.
