Disposal and Recycling Information

Your Grass Valley equipment comes with at least one lithium button battery (Li-MnO

2

)

located on the main printed circuit board. The batteries are used for backup and should not
need to be replaced during the lifetime of the equipment.

Before disposing of your Grass Valley equipment, please remove the battery as follows:

1 Make sure the AC adapter is unplugged from the power outlet.

2 Remove the protective cover from your equipment.

3 Gently remove the battery from its casing using a blunt instrument for leverage such as

a screwdriver if necessary.

4 Dispose of the battery and equipment according to your local environmental laws and

guidelines.

WARNING

Be careful not to short-circuit the batteries by adhering to the appropriate
safe handling practices. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may
explode. Batteries may explode if damaged or overheated. Do not dispose of
batteries as household waste. Do not dismantle, open or shred batteries.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

The electrolyte of the batteries contains 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) (CAS
110-71-4, EINECS 203-794-9) above 0.1% by weight. DME is listed as a
Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) by the regulation (EC) No 1907/2006
of the European Parliament and of the Council. It is classified as a reprotoxic
of category 2 in the European Union. Accordingly, exposure to DME may
impair fertility and may cause harm to the unborn child. DME is also classified
as harmful by inhalation.
