Recycling

Batteries
The user must remove and dispose of alkaline batteries when they no longer power the EXO1 sonde, EXO2
sonde, or EXO Handheld. Disposal requirements vary by country and region, and users are expected to
understand and follow the battery disposal requirements for their specific locale.
The circuit board in these instruments may contain a manganese dioxide lithium "coin cell" battery that
must be in place for continuity of power to memory devices on the board. This battery is not user serviceable
or replaceable. When appropriate, an authorized service center will remove this battery and properly dispose
of it, per service and repair policies.
Manufacturer
We are committed to reducing the environmental footprint of our products. While materials reduction is
the ultimate goal, we also make a concerted effort to responsibly deal with materials after a long, productive
life-cycle. Our recycling program ensures that old equipment is processed in an environmentally responsible
way, reducing the amount of materials going to landfills.
• Printed circuit boards are sent to facilities that process and reclaim as much material for recycling as
possible.
• Plastics enter a material recycling process and are not incinerated or sent to landfills.
• Batteries are removed and sent to battery recyclers for dedicated metals.
