Disposal (EU Countries)
Under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2006/96/EC and
implementing regulations, all devices and service items within the scope of the Directive
purchased new after August 13, 2005 must be sent for recycling when ultimately
becoming waste. Devices and items must not be disposed of with general waste.
If purchased before that date, they may also be sent for recycling if being replaced
on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis (this varies depending on the country). Recycling

Disposal (other countries)
When disposing of this device, its batteries or any of its accessories, ensure that any
negative impact on the environment is minimized. Contact your local waste disposal
service and use local recycling or disposal schemes. Separate any other parts of the
equipment where arrangements can be made for their recovery; either by recycling or
energy recovery. The main batteries are potentially harmful and will require separate
disposal according to manufacturer’s instructions or local regulations.
Note: If applicable, EU, national or local regulations concerning waste disposal must
take precedence over the above advice.
