Care of the BEETLE /mini
Clean your BEETLE /MINI at regular intervals with a suitable plastic-surface
cleaner. Make sure that the power plug is disconnected, connector cables are
unplugged and that no liquid finds its way into the device. The glass surface of
your Touch Screen should be cleaned with a mild, commercially available
glass cleaning product. All pH neutral materials (pH 6 to 8) are to be used for
cleaning purposes.
Recycling the BEETLE /mini
The BEETLE /MINI POS System is manufactured without the use of CFCs and
CCHS and is produced mainly from reusable components and materials.
The processed plastics can, for the most part, be recycled. Even the precious
metals can be recovered, thus saving energy and costly raw materials.
Please do not stick labels onto plastic case parts. This would help us to re-use
components and material.
You can protect our environment by switching on your equipment only when it
is actually needed. If possible, even avoid the stand-by-mode as this wastes
energy, too. Also switch your equipment off when you take a longer break or
finish your work.
There are still some parts that are not reusable. Wincor Nixdorf guarantees
the environmentally safe disposal of these parts in a Recycling Center, which
is certified pursuant to ISO 9001.
Environmental protection does not begin when time comes to
dispose of the BEETLE /mini; it begins with the manufacturer.
This product was designed according to our internal norm
“Environmental conscious product design and development”
