8. END OF LIFE STATEMENT
At the end of the SART’s useful life, it is vital that the battery be disconnected from the main unit
to prevent false alarms. False alarms cause expensive disruption to Search and Rescue services
and may endanger lives as a consequence. It is also necessary that the SART and its battery
pack be disposed of in a manner that does not present a threat of environmental damage.
8.1.
Battery Removal
To disconnect the battery, turn the SART over and remove the three battery retaining screws
using a cross headed screwdriver. Gently prise the battery from the main unit; Note that this will
also release the ‘O’ ring seal. Cover the terminals of the battery pack with sticky tape to prevent
inadvertent short-circuiting.
8.2.
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 SART 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, McMurdo strongly recommends that this SART 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
McMurdo for advice.
