Help to protect our environment
The instruments contain
•
one lithium battery,
•
two NiMHs or two dry batteries.
The batteries contain heavy metals which may represent an
environmental hazard when they are disposed of at the end
of their useful life or when the instrument is scrapped.
Dispose of the batteries by returning them to the appropriate
collection point for used batteries, or to a company
specializing in the recycling of such items, or to the place
where new batteries are purchased.
Batteries purchased from Acterna can be returned to your
nearest Acterna service center.
