2.3 Disposal of the equipment
Electrical devices are recoverable waste and should not be disposed of in domes-
tic waste at the end of their service life. Please follow the local rules for the dis-
posal of used products, or send the cleaned and disinfected equipment with a cor-
responding note to STIHLER ELECTRONIC GmbH or your closest sales point.
This will ensure the most cost-efficient and proper disposal of your old equipment.
Follow the national regulations on the disposal of medical devices.
2.4 Information on battery disposal
Batteries must not be disposed of in domestic waste. The user is obliged to en-
sure proper disposal. Returns can be made to public communal collection points
or wherever the batteries are sold.
The battery can be removed by loosening the 4 screws on the underside and
opening the housing.
2.5 Return of a used product
A report must be sent together with the equipment, detailing the precise reasons,
circumstances, and, if known, the cause of the return. To prevent transportation
damage, the equipment should be shipped either in the original packaging or in
other, well-protected packaging.
Transport regulations for returning devices with a built-in battery:
When returning the ASTOPAD DUO310 control units, it is essential to ensure that
the control unit is in a state in which it can be stored/transported (see section
7.6.3 Switch to storage/transport mode
).
WARNING
Risk of infection!
Clean and disinfect the equipment after every use and before you return the equip-
ment for repairs.
