Statement
Note to OEMs: The statement is included for your information and may be used in
the documentation of your final product applications.
WEEE Directive
The WEEE directive places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and importers
to take-back electronics products at the end of their useful life. A sister Directive, ROHS (Restriction of
Hazardous Substances) complements the WEEE Directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous
substances in the products at the design phase. The WEEE Directive covers all Multi-Tech products
imported into the EU as of August 13, 2005. EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers
are obliged to finance the costs of recovery from municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of
specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.
Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union
The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging, which indicates that this product must not be
disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user's responsibility to dispose of their waste equipment by
handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
The separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve
natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the
environment. For more information about where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please
contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or where you purchased the product.
