Shipping, Packaging and Disposal
34.1
Inspecting your shipment
Unpack and inspect the entire shipment immediately upon receipt to
make sure it is complete and undamaged.
If the container/package shows visible signs of damage, please refuse
the shipment. If this is not possible, accept the shipment on the condition
that the freight carrier's delivery record is noted with the extent of the
damage in order to file a claim.
Should you discover a concealed loss or damage, report it to SIEMENS
and to the freight carrier immediately. If the period for filing claims has
expired, you will no longer be able to make any claims for compensation
of damage or loss.
34.2
Packaging
The packages used by SIEMENS are made of carefully selected, envi-
ronmentally compatible materials and are thus recyclable. We suggest
you retain the packaging for possible future use; otherwise please en-
sure that they are disposed of in an ecologically sound manner.
34.3
Disposal of used apparatus
Used electrical and electronic equipment often contain valuable compo-
nents. The owner/user may either return such an instrument to the
manufacturer for disposal, or he must dispose of it himself in a profes-
sional and nonpolluting manner.
SIEMENS will not be held accountable for any inappropriate disposal
carried out by the user/owner of SIEMENS instruments.
