Environmental Protection Hints

Disposal of Old Equipment and Batteries (Applicable only for European Union and Countries with a

Recycling System)

The disposal of our products and possible recycling of their components after decommissioning has to

be carried out by an accredited recycling company, or the products/components must be taken to

applicable collection points. Such disposal activities must comply with all local laws, guidelines and

environmental specifications of the country in which the disposal is done. For the European Union the

sustainable disposal of electronic scrap is defined in the respective regulation for "waste electrical and

electronic equipment" (WEEE).

The crossed-out wheelie bin on the products, packaging and/or accompanying documents

means that used electrical and electronic products and batteries must not be mixed with

normal household waste.

According to national legislation, penalties may be charged for incorrect disposal

of such waste.

By disposing of these products correctly you will help to save valuable resources and prevent any

potential negative effects on human health and the environment.

NOTE: Our products and batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. For disposing

batteries it is necessary to observe the local national/international directives.

Disposal of Mobile Storage Devices (e.g. USB Sticks and Memory Cards)

When disposing of/transferring mobile storage devices, using the format or delete functions only

changes the file management information and does not completely delete the data from your mobile

storage device. When disposing of or transferring a mobile storage device, Siemens strongly

recommends physically destroying it or completely deleting data from the mobile storage device by

using a commercially available computer data erasing software.
