Packaging End-of-Life

The Agilent 6475 triple quadrupole LC/MS system is packaged using cardboard

and a polyethylene bag. In the US, the cardboard is readily recyclable; while the

plastic bag is recyclable, the infrastructure is not available in the majority of the

market. In the US, Agilent is enrolled in the How2Recycle program to facilitate the

communication of material recycling instructions. In select countries, Agilent

participates in the EU/UK Green DOT Package Recycling Program to support the

take-back and responsible management of the packaging materials at their

end-of-life. In the remaining EU countries, the cardboard is readily recyclable

while the plastic bag is recycled, landfilled or incinerated depending on the

country and its available infrastructure.

Product End-of-Life

Agilent offers a take-back program for its 6475 triple quadrupole LC/MS system

customers in US, EU and UK markets.

Agilent 6475 Triple Quad LC/MS System User Guide 10

Electromagnetic Compatibility

This product conforms to the following regulations on Electromagnetic

Compatibility (EMC) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI):

•CISPR 11/EN 55011: Group 1, Class A

•EC/EN 61326-1

•AUS/NZ

•Canada ICES-001 (This ISM device complies with Canadian ICES-001. Cet

appareil ISM est conforme à la norme NMB-001 du Canada).

Group 1 ISM equipment Group 1 contains all Industrial, Scientific and Medical

(ISM) equipment in which there is intentionally generated and/or used

conductively coupled radio- frequency energy which is necessary for the internal

functioning of the equipment itself.

Class A equipment This equipment is suitable for use in all establishments

other than domestic and those directly connected to a low voltage power supply

network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.

This device complies with the requirements of CISPR11, Group 1, Class A as

radiation professional equipment. Therefore, there may be potential difficulties in

ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments, due to conducted

as well as radiated disturbances.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,

which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try one or more of the following measures:

1Relocate the radio or antenna.

2Move the device away from the radio or television.

3Plug the device into a different electrical outlet, so that the device and the

radio or television are on separate electrical circuits.

4Make sure that all peripheral devices are also certified.

5Make sure that appropriate cables are used to connect the device to

peripheral equipment.

6Consult your equipment dealer, Agilent Technologies, or an experienced

technician for assistance.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Agilent Technologies could

void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
