Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte
Informationen für private Haushalte
Das Elektro- und Elektronikgerätegesetz (ElektroG) enthält eine Vielzahl von
Anforderungen an den Umgang mit Elektro- und Elektronikgeräten. Die wichtigsten
sind hier zusammengestellt.
1. Getrennte Erfassung von Altgeräten
Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte, die zu Abfall geworden sind, werden als Altgeräte
bezeichnet. Besitzer von Altgeräten haben diese einer vom unsortierten
Siedlungsabfall getrennten Erfassung zuzuführen. Altgeräte gehören insbesondere
nicht in den Hausmüll, sondern in spezielle Sammel- und Rückgabesysteme.
2. Batterien und Akkus sowie Lampen
Besitzer von Altgeräten haben Altbatterien und Altakkumulatoren, die nicht vom
Altgerät umschlossen sind, sowie Lampen, die zerstörungsfrei aus dem Altgerät
entnommen werden können, im Regelfall vor der Abgabe an einer Erfassungsstelle
vom Altgerät zu trennen. Dies gilt nicht, soweit Altgeräte einer Vorbereitung zur
Wiederverwendung unter Beteiligung eines öffentlich-rechtlichen Entsorgungsträgers
zugeführt werden.
3. Möglichkeiten der Rückgabe von Altgeräten
Besitzer von Altgeräten aus privaten Haushalten können diese bei den Sammelstellen
der öffentlich-rechtlichen Entsorgungsträger oder bei den von Herstellern oder
Vertreibern im Sinne des ElektroG eingerichteten Rücknahmestellen unentgeltlich
abgeben.Rücknahmepflichtig sind Geschäfte mit einer Verkaufsfläche von mindestens
400 m²für Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte sowie diejenigen Lebensmittelgeschäfte mit
einer Gesamtverkaufsfläche von mindestens 800 m², die mehrmals pro Jahr oder
dauerhaft Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte anbieten und auf dem Markt bereitstellen. Dies
gilt auch bei Vertrieb unter Verwendung von Fernkommunikationsmitteln, wenn die
Lager- und Versandflächen für Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte mindestens 400 m²
betragen oder die gesamten Lager- und Versandflächen mindestens 800 m²betragen.
Vertreiber haben die Rücknahme grundsätzlich durch geeignete
Rückgabemöglichkeiten in zumutbarer Entfernung zum jeweiligen Endnutzer zu

HDMI 2.0 Fiber Optical Extender
gewährleisten. Die Möglichkeit der unentgeltlichen Rückgabe eines Altgerätes besteht
bei rücknahmepflichtigen Vertreibern unter anderem dann, wenn ein neues
gleichartiges Gerät, das im Wesentlichen die gleichen Funktionen erfüllt, an einen
Endnutzer abgegeben wird. Wenn ein neues Gerät an einen privaten Haushalt
ausgeliefert wird, kann das gleichartige Altgerät auch dort zur unentgeltlichen Abholung
übergeben werden; dies gilt bei einem Vertrieb unter Verwendung von
Fernkommunikationsmitteln für Geräte der Kategorien 1, 2 oder 4 gemäߧ2 Abs. 1
ElektroG, nämlich „Wärmeüberträger“, „Bildschirmgeräte“ oder „Großgeräte“ (letztere
mit mindestens einer äußeren Abmessung über 50 Zentimeter). Zu einer
entsprechenden Rückgabe-Absicht werden Endnutzer beim Abschluss eines
Kaufvertrages befragt. Außerdem besteht die Möglichkeit der unentgeltlichen
Rückgabe bei Sammelstellen der Vertreiber unabhängig vom Kauf eines neuen
Gerätes für solche Altgeräte, die in keiner äußeren Abmessung größer als 25
Zentimeter sind, und zwar beschränkt auf drei Altgeräte pro Geräteart.
4. Datenschutz-Hinweis
Altgeräte enthalten häufig sensible personenbezogene Daten. Dies gilt insbesondere
für Geräte der Informations- und Telekommunikationstechnik wie Computer und
Smartphones. Bitte beachten Sie in Ihrem eigenen Interesse, dass für die Löschung
der Daten auf den zu entsorgenden Altgeräten jeder Endnutzer selbst verantwortlich
ist.
5. Bedeutung des Symbols „durchgestrichene Mülltonne“
Das auf Elektro- und Elektronikgeräten regelmäßig abgebildete Symbol einer
durchgestrichenen Mülltonne weist darauf hin, dass das jeweilige Gerät am Ende
seiner Lebensdauer getrennt vom unsortierten Siedlungsabfall zu erfassen ist.

Mode ①: Transmitter: ARC; Receiver: ARC
The audio signal is transmitted from the display back to HDMI IN and AUDIO OUT
ports.
Connection procedure:
Step1.Connect the OPTICAL OUT port of the transmitter to the OPTICAL IN port of
the receiver with two OM3/OM4 multi-mode fiber cables.
Step2.Connect an amplifier to the HDMI IN port of Transmitter, and then connect HDMI
source device (e.g. Blue-ray DVD) and Speaker to the amplifier.
Step3.Connect a broadcast device (e.g. Speaker) to the AUDIO OUT port of
transmitter with toslink audio cable.
Step4.Connect a display device (e.g. TV) to the HDMI OUT port of receiver with HDMI
cable.
Step5.Bi-directional IR control: Both transmitter and receiver have IR IN and IR OUT
port. When one model use for IR signal receiver, the IR signal must be sent out
by the other model.
For example: When IR IN port of transmitter connects with an IR receiver, the IR
Emitter must be connected to the IR OUT port of receiver.
Step6.Bi-directional RS232 control: Both transmitter and receiver have RS232 port.
When one model use for control device, the other must be used for the third-
party device needed to be controlled.
For example: When RS232 port of transmitter connects with a control PC, the
third-party device must be connected to the RS232 port of receiver.
