Introduction1.7 LD900 noticesThe following notices apply to the LD900:1.7.1 Waste electrical and electronic equipmentThe Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (hereinafter referred to as the “WEEE directive”)places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers to take-back electronicsproducts at the end of their useful life. A sister directive, RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)complements the WEEE directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the products atthe design phase. The WEEE directive covers all VERIPOS products imported into the EU as of August 13,2005. EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers are obliged to finance the costs of recoveryfrom municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the requirements containedin the WEEE Directive.Instructions for disposal of WEEE by users in the European UnionProducts which have the undernoted symbol located on either the product itself or its packaging indicates thatthe product must not be disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of theproduct by handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of WEEE. The symbol shown belowis on the product or on its packaging, which indicates that this product must not be disposed of with other waste.Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of their waste equipment by handing it over to a designatedcollection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment.The separate collection and recycling of your WEEE at the time of disposal will help to conserve naturalresources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For moreinformation about recycling centres, please contact the local city office, the household waste disposal service orthe product supplier.LD900 Installation and Operations Manual9
