Information on disposal for users 1. In the European Union If your product is marked with this symbol, it means that used electrical/electronic products should not be mixed with general household waste. There exists a separate collection system for these products. Used electric/electronic equipment must be treated separately and in accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling of these products. Following the implementation by member states, private households within the EU states may return their used electrical/electronic equipments to designated collection facilities free of charge*. In some countries your local retailer may also take back your old product free of charge if you purchase a similar new one. *Please contact your local authority for further details. By disposing of this product correctly you will help ensure that the waste undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the environment and human health which could otherwise arise due to inappropriate waste handling. 2. In other countries outside the EU If you wish to discard this product, please contact your local authorities and ask for the correct method of disposal. For Switzerland: Used electrical/electronic equipment can be returned free of charge to the dealer, even when you don't purchase a new product. Further collection facilities are listed on the home page of www.swico.ch or www.sens.ch.
