DISPOSAL OF ELECTRIC AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND THEIR COMPONENTS
1. FOR COUNTRIES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU)
The disposal of electric and electronic devices as solid urban waste is strictly prohibited: it must be collected separately. The dumping of
these devices at unequipped and unauthorized places may have hazardous effects on health and the environment. Offenders will be
subjected to the penalties and measures laid down by the law.
TO DISPOSE OF OUR DEVICES CORRECTLY:
a) Contact the Local Authorities, who will give you the practical information you need and the instructions for handling the waste
correctly, for example: location and times of the waste collection centres, etc.
b) When you purchase a new device of ours, give a used device similar to the one purchased to our dealer for disposal.
The crossed dustbin symbol on the device means that:
- When it to be disposed of, the device is to be taken to the equipped waste collection centres and is to be handled separately
from urban waste;
- Olivetti guarantees the activation of the treatment, collection, recycling and disposal procedures in accordance with Directive
2012/19/EU (and subsequent amendments).
2. FOR OTHER COUNTRIES (NOT IN THE EU)
The treatment, collection, recycling and disposal of electric and electronic devices will be carried out in accordance with the laws in force
in the country in question.
DIRECTIVE 2006/66/EC ON BATTERIES AND ACCUMULATORS AND ON WASTE BATTERIES
Applicable in European Union countries and in other countries with recycling collection systems
The symbol shown on batteries, on their packaging or on their documentation means that the batteries supplied with the
product must not be disposed of as solid urban waste but must be collected separately. Take used batteries to the authorised

When any of the chemical symbols Hg (mercury), Cd (cadmium) or Pb (lead) are present, they indicate that the battery
contains a higher quantity of the related substance than stipulated in the directive.
