End-of-life product recycling
Grass Valley’s innovation and excellence in product design also extends to the programs we’ve established to
manage the recycling of our products. Grass Valley has developed a comprehensive end-of-life product take back
program for recycle or disposal of end-of-life products. Our program meets the requirements of the European
Union’s WEEE Directive and in the United States from the Environmental Protection Agency, individual state or
local agencies.
Grass Valley’s end-of-life product take back program assures proper disposal by use of Best Available Technology.
This program accepts any Grass Valley branded equipment. Upon request, a Certificate of Recycling or a
Certificate of Destruction, depending on the ultimate disposition of the product, can be sent to the requester.
Grass Valley will be responsible for all costs associated with recycling and disposal, including freight, however
you are responsible for the removal of the equipment from your facility and packing the equipment ready for
pickup.
For further information on the Grass Valley product take back system please contact Grass Valley at + 800 80 80
20 20 or +33 1 48 25 20 20 from most other countries. In the US and Canada please call 800-547-8949 or 530-
478-4148. Ask to be connected to the EH&S Department. In addition, information concerning Grass Valley’s

Packing/unpacking
Inspect the shipping container for evidence of damage immediately after receipt. If the
shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, it should be kept until the contents of
the shipment have been checked for completeness and the units have been checked
mechanically and electrically. The shipping container should be placed upright and opened from
the top. Remove the cushioning material and lift out the contents. The contents of the
shipment should be checked against the packing list. If the contents are incomplete, if there is
mechanical damage or defect, or if the units do not perform correctly when unpacked, notify
your sales or service centre within eight days. If the shipping container shows signs of damage
or stress, notify the carrier as well.
If a unit is being returned to for servicing, try to use the containers and materials of the original
packaging. Attach a tag indicating the type of service required, return address, model number,
full serial number and the return number which will be supplied by your service centre. If the
original packing can no longer be used, the following general instructions should be used for
repacking with commercially available materials:
1. Wrap unit in heavy paper or plastic.
2. Use strong shipping container.
3. Use a layer of shock-absorbing material around all sides of the unit to provide firm
cushioning and prevent movement inside container.
4. Seal shipping container securely.
5. Mark shipping container FRAGILE to ensure careful handling.
