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 environmental policy can be

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 Grass Valley 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 Grass Valley 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 Grass
Valley 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.
