Environmental Compliance - GE XL VU Operating Manual

Appendix
E. Environmental Compliance
The equipment purchased has required the extraction and use
of natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous
substances that could impact health and the environment.
In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in the
environment and to diminish the pressure on the natural resources,
we encourage the use of appropriate take-back systems. Those
systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of end-life
equipment in a sound way.
The cross-out wheeled bin symbol encourages the use of those
systems.
If more information is needed on the collection, reuse, and recycling
systems, please contact the appropriate local or regional waste
administration.
EU Battery Directive
This product contains a battery that cannot be disposed of as unsorted municipal
waste in the European Union. See the product documentation for specific battery
information. The battery is marked with this symbol, which may include lettering to
indicate cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), or mercury (Hg). For proper recycling return the
battery to your supplier or to a designated collection point.
What do the markings mean?
Batteries and accumulators must be marked (either on the battery or accumulator or
on its packaging, depending on size) with the separate collection symbol. In addition,
the marking must include the chemical symbols of specific levels of toxic metals as
follows:
Cadmium (Cd) over 0.002%
Lead (Pb) over 0.004%
Mercury (Hg) over 0.0005%
The risks and your role in reducing them
Your participation is an important part of the effort to minimize the impact of batteries
and accumulators on the environment and on human health. For proper recycling
