Appendix D – Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
The WEEE directive places an obligation on manufacturers, distributors and retailers 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 being sold into the EU as of August 13, 2005.
Manufacturers, distributors and retailers 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 the user’s 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 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 the seller
from whom you purchased the product.
