12 Environment

Preservation of the environment is an essential concern of
Philips.
The desire of Philips is to operate systems observing the
environment and consequently it has decided to integrate
environmental performances in the life cycle of its products,
from manufacturing to commissioning, use and elimination.
Meaning of logos present on the
product or its packaging
European regulations require packaging to be
recycled. It must not be discarded with unsorted
waste. There are local arrangements for sorting and
recycling this waste.
The looped arrow sign means that the packaging may
be recycled and must not be disposed of with
household waste.
The logo with three arrows shown on the plastic parts
means that they may be recycled and that they must
not be disposed of with household waste.
The crossed-out dustbin sign stuck on the product or
its accessories means that at the end of its life, the
product is subject to selective collection and must not
be thrown away in unsorted household waste.

Product recycling and disposal

To facilitate recycling, please respect the sorting rules set up
locally for this kind of waste.
If your product contains batteries, they must be disposed of at
appropriate collection points.
European regulations ask you to dispose of products
belonging to the family of electrical and electronic equipments
selectively:
At the collection points made available to you locally
(drop-off centre, selective collection, etc.),
At sales points in the event of the purchase of similar
equipment.
In this way you can participate in the re-use and upgrading of
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Waste, which can have an
effect on the environment and human health.
European Directive on Waste
Electricaland Electronic Equipment
(WEEE)
In the context of sustainable development, the reduction of
wastes to be eliminated by reusing, recycling, composting and
energy recovery is strongly advised.
In order to comply with this directive which is applicable to
EEEs sold after 13/08/2005, your recorder will be taken back
free of charge and recycled by the distributor of the EEE within
the limits of the quantity and types of equipment bought from
them. These appliances which contain substances potentially
dangerous to human health and the environment will be
recycled.
Directive on the Restriction of use
of certain hazardous substances in
electronic equipment (RoHS)
Your recorder along with the batteries supplied comply with
the directive relating to the RoHS – dangerous materials such
as lead, mercury or cadmium are not used. This avoids
environmental hazards and any risks to the health of personnel
at the recycling centres. The batteries of the remote control can
be removed simply.
Note: When the batteries of the remote control are worn out,
please dispose of them at a collection point and not with
household waste.
Electrical consumption of the
recorder
To reduce the consumption of your recorder, you are
recommended to place it in standby mode when not in use.
We recommend that you turn off the recorder or unplug it from
the mains if you will not be using it for a prolonged period of
time.
