6.4.3
Disposal at the end of its useful life
At the end of their service life, the device and its accessories must be recycled in
compliance with local regulations. Apart from the internal and plug-in batteries, the
device does not contain hazardous material and can be recycled like any other piece
of electronic equipment. In accordance with national law, the battery must be dis-
posed of at an appropriate waste disposal station or returned to SCHILLER.
According to European legislation, this device is considered as electronic waste
equipment. It can be returned to the distributor or manufacturer where the device will
be disposed of in compliance with legal requirements. The customer must bear the
shipping costs. This unit must be disposed of in a municipally approved collection
point or recycling centre when no longer used.
If no such collection point or recycling centre is available, you can return the unit to
your distributor or the manufacturer for proper disposal. In this way, you contribute to
the recycling and other forms of utilisation of old electrical and electronic equipment.
Improper disposal harms the environment and human health due to the presence of
dangerous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
