Disposal & scrapping of old devices
Disposal of electronic devices
The SaHoMa®-II control unit and the SaHoMa®-II power cord unit fall within the scope of the law on the marke-
ting, return and environmentally sound disposal of electrical and electronic equipment (Electrical and Electro-
nic Equipment Act - ElektroG) and are classified in category 5 (small appliances).
The „crossed-out wheeled garbage can“ on the SaHoMa®-II control unit and the SaHoMa®-II power cord indica-
tes that old devices must not be disposed of with household waste, such as the residual waste garbage can or
the yellow garbage can, but must be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste.
Proper disposal serves to protect the environment and prevents possible harmful effects on humans and the
environment that could result from improper handling of the devices at the end of their service life. For proper
disposal, the old devices must therefore be handed in for treatment, raw material recovery and recycling at the
established municipal collection points or recycling centers or to us as the manufacturer. As a consumer, you
are obliged to do this.
In return, we are obligated as a manufacturer to take back waste electronic equipment. We take over the free,
professional treatment, recycling and disposal for you according to the legal regulations.
Removal of batteries and lamps
If the products contain batteries, accumulators or lamps that can be removed from the old device without
destroying it, these must be removed before disposal and disposed of separately as batteries or lamps. The
SaHoMa®-II control unit contains a lithium polymer battery which is permanently installed and therefore
cannot be removed from the old device.

Options for returning old devices for consumers
You can return or collect old devices free of charge within the framework of the possibilities for returning or
collecting old devices set up and available by public waste disposal authorities, so that proper disposal of
old devices is ensured. In addition, the return is also possible with distributors under certain conditions. If
you purchase a new device of the same type, we will gladly dispose of the old device professionally for you
(1:1 take-back). Independently of this, there is the possibility of returning the old device to us free of charge.
The prerequisite for this is that the external dimensions do not exceed 25 centimeters and the return is limited
to three old devices per type of device (0:1 take-back).
Data protection
We would like to point out that you are responsible for deleting personal data on the old devices to be disposed of.
WEEE registration number
Under the registration number DE 309 971 81 we are registered with stiftung elektro-altgeräte register, Nordostpark
72, 90411 Nürnberg, Germany, as a producer of electronic equipment.
Collection and recovery rates
According to the WEEE Directive, EU member states are obliged to collect data on waste electrical and electronic
equipment and to transmit this data to the European Commission. You can find more information on this on
the BMUV website.
Note
• The old device that has been handed in cannot be returned to you after it has been handed in.
• There will be no refund of the purchase price or the residual value.
• The old device is recycled according to the requirements of ElektroG
• All other components can be disposed of with household waste in accordance with the
Waste Catalogue Ordinance (AVV).
Caution
This chapter is based on the requirements of the ElektroG in Germany. In other countries, the applicable disposal
regulations of the respective country must be observed.
