be taken to collecon points at the end of their life:
- Municipal waste disposal centres with specic bins for
these items of equipment.
- Collecon bins at points of sale.
They will then be recycled, prevenng substances being disposed
of in the environment and allowing their components to be reused
In European Union countries:
These collecon points are accessible free of charge.
All products with this sign must be brought to these collecon points.
In non European Union jurisdicons:
Items of equipment with this symbol are not to be thrown into
ordinary bins if your jurisdicon or your region has suitable recycling
and collecon facilies; instead they are to be taken to collecon
points for them to be recycled.

Radio Waves
THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your device is a radio transmier and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radio-frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permied levels of RF energy for the
general populaon. The guidelines are based on standards that were
developed by independent scienc organizaons through periodic
and thorough evaluaon of scienc studies. These guidelines
include a substanal safety margin designed to ensure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
16
The World Health Organizaon (WHO) considers that present
scienc informaon does not indicate the need for any special
precauons for use of wireless devices. If individuals are concerned,
they might choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure
by liming the length of use to keep device away from the head
and body. Addional WHO informaon about electromagnec elds
and public health are available on the following website: hp://www.
who.int/peh-emf.
