fore take the device to the appropriate collection points at the end of its service life. Sort elect-
ronic and electrical waste or send back to the retailer when purchasing new, equivalent devices
in a one-to-one process. Appropriate separate collection for subsequent commissioning of the

adverse effects on the environment and health, and promote the reuse and/or recycling of the
materials to which they belong. Misuse of this product by the user will result in the application
of the administrative penalties provided for in the applicable legislation. Batteries contained in
the device must be disposed of separately in the appropriate containers for the collection of used
