Environmental Considerations
Protection of the environment is an important concern to ARCHOS
™
. In order to put this concern into tangible
™
actions, ARCHOS
has consciously included a set of methods that favor a respect for the environment into the
entire cycle of its products; from fabrication to consumer usage, to fi nal disposal.
Batteries : If your product contains a detachable battery pack, you should only dispose of it in a designated
collection point for used batteries.
The Product : The crossed-out garbage can symbol on your product signifi es that it falls into the category of
electric/electronic equipment. Products of this type contain substances that are potentially dangerous to the
environment and to human health. Therefore, you should not dispose of the ARCHOS electronic device in a
regular trash. As such, the current European directives ask that this device be collected:
- At places of distribution in the case of a purchase of a similar electronic product.
- At locally created disposal areas (waste disposal centers, sorted trash system, etc.)
By doing this, you are actively participating in the reuse and recycling of disposed electronic and
electric equipment that could have potential effects on the environment and human health.
