10 Environment
Preservation of the environment is an essential concern of Philips.
The desire of Philips is to operate systems observing the
environment and consequently it has decided to integrate
environmental performances in the life cycle of its products, from
manufacturing to commissioning, use and elimination.
Meaning of logos present on the product
or its packaging
European regulations require packaging to be recycled. It
must not be discarded with unsorted waste. There are local
arrangements for sorting and recycling this waste.
The looped arrow sign means that the packaging may be
recycled and must not be disposed of with household
waste.
The logo with three arrows shown on the plastic parts
means that they may be recycled and that they must not be
disposed of with household waste.
The crossed-out dustbin sign stuck on the product or its
accessories means that at the end of its life, the product is
subject to selective collection and must not be thrown away
in unsorted household waste.
Product recycling and disposal
To facilitate recycling, please respect the sorting rules set up locally
for this kind of waste.
If your product contains batteries, they must be disposed of at
appropriate collection points.
European regulations ask you to dispose of products belonging
to the family of electrical and electronic equipments selectively:
•
At the collection points made available to you locally (drop-off
centre, selective collection, etc.),
• At sales points in the event of the purchase of similar equipment.
In this way you can participate in the re-use and upgrading of
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Waste, which can have an effect
on the environment and human health.
European Directive on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
In the context of sustainable development, the reduction of wastes
to be eliminated by reusing, recycling, composting and energy
recovery is strongly advised.
In order to comply with this directive which is applicable to EEEs sold
after 13/08/2005, your recorder will be taken back free of charge and
recycled by the distributor of the EEE within the limits of the quantity
and types of equipment bought from them. These appliances which
contain substances potentially dangerous to human health and the
environment will be recycled.
Directive on the Restriction of use of
certain hazardous substances in electronic
equipment (RoHS)
Your recorder along with the batteries supplied comply with the
directive relating to the RoHS – dangerous materials such as lead,
mercury or cadmium are not used. This avoids environmental
hazards and any risks to the health of personnel at the recycling
centres. The batteries of the remote control can be removed simply.
Note: When the batteries of the remote control are worn out,
please dispose of them at a collection point and not with household
waste.
Electrical consumption of the recorder
To reduce the consumption of your recorder, you are recommended
to place it in standby mode when not in use. We recommend that
you turn off the recorder or unplug it from the mains if you will not
be using it for a prolonged period of time.
