Taking the Product Back and Recycling
The European Union has passed a directive called Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment, or WEEE for short, to ensure that systems are setup throughout the
EU for the collection, treating and recycling of electronic waste.
This ensures that the devices are recycled in a resource-saving way representing
no danger to health or the environment.

WEEE-Symbol
The WEEE symbol (see Fig. 2-2 on page 12) on the product or its packaging
shows that the product must not be disposed of as residual garbage.
The user is obliged to collect the old devices separately and return them to the
WEEE take-back system for recycling. The WEEE directive concerns all ETAS
devices but not external cables or batteries.
