Disposal of this Product at the End of its Life

At the end of this product's life, please do not dispose of this product in your general household
waste. Instead, please dispose of this product separately in accordance with your local recycling
laws and regulations. For more information on the separate collection systems for waste electrical
COPY
and electronic equipment that are available for consumers, free of charge, near your home, please
contact your local municipal authority.
As an alternative and if you plan to buy an equivalent new product, you may be able to bring this
product to your local retailer who, in exchange for your buying an equivalent new product, may take
back this product and arrange for its recycling. However, we would suggest that you first double-
check with your local retailer whether they will offer you this service.
Either way, this product will then be treated in an environmentally sound manner at a licensed recycling
plant and its components will be recovered, recycled or reused in the most efficient way possible, in
compliance with the requirements of the Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(2002/96/EC) of 27 January 2003.
Under applicable environmental laws, you should always use the available separate collection
systems for waste electrical and electronic equipment. In some countries, failure to use these
systems may even result in sanctions being taken against you.
Notes:
1. Waste electrical and electronic equipment may contain hazardous substances, which, if not
treated properly, can be harmful to the environment and human health. Specific treatment of
waste electrical and electronic equipment is therefore indispensable.
2. All Nintendo electrical and electronic equipment that is subject to the above Directive is
designed in a way which takes full account of, and facilitates, its possible repair, upgrading,
reuse, dismantling and recycling.
3. Nintendo and its official distributors support recycling schemes in each European country and
are committed to using the best available treatment, recovery and recycling techniques in order
to ensure both human health and high environmental protection.
4. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol (see below) is affixed to all relevant Nintendo electrical and
electronic equipment that has been put onto the market by Nintendo or its official distributors on
or after 13 August 2005. The symbol means that these products must be collected separately
from other waste at the end of their life, in order to ensure maximum recovery and environmentally
sound disposal.
