Product Recycling and Disposal
This equipment must be recycled or discarded according to
applicable local and national regulations.

Customer participation is important to minimize any potential
effects of EEE on the environment and human health due to
the potential presence of hazardous substances in EEE. For
proper collection and treatment, refer to Obtaining Service.
