12. Disposal instructions
In line with the European WEEE directive, electrical and electronic devices should
not be disposed of along with domestic waste. Their components have to be sent
separately for recycling or disposal, as improper disposal of toxic and dangerous
components may permanently damage the environment.
According to the electrical and electronic equipment act (ElektroG), you are
obliged (as a consumer) to return (free of charge) all electrical and electronic de-
vices to the manufacturer, the point of sale, or public collection points at the end
of their service life. The relevant local laws regulate the details in this regard. The
symbol on the product, in the user manual or/and the packaging refers to these
regulations. With this manner of sorting, recycling and disposal of used devices,
you make an important contribution towards protecting our environment.
13. Warranty declaration
Regardless of statutory warranty claims, the manufacturer grants a warranty pur-
suant to the laws of your country, however, at least 1 year (2 years in Germany).
The warranty starts on the date that the device has been sold to the consumer.
The warranty covers exclusively defects based on material or manufacturing de-
fects. Repairs under this warranty may be performed exclusively by an authorized
customer service centre. Submit the original sales receipt (showing date of sale) to
assert your warranty claim.
The following are excluded from the warranty:
- Normal wear
- Improper use, e.g. overloading the device, unapproved accessories
- Damage caused by external influences, force, or foreign objects
- Damage caused by noncompliance with these operating instructions,
e.g. connecting to the wrong voltage or noncompliance with the
installation instructions
- Fully or partially disassembled devices
