Treatment of spent batteries (applicable in all countries of the European Union and in
other European systems with separate collection systems)
This symbol on the product or packaging indicates that the battery
pack should not be treated as normal household waste. On some
types of batteries, this symbol may be used in combination with a
chemical symbol.
The chemical symbols for mercury (Hg) or lead (Pb) are added if the
battery contains more than 0.0005% mercury or 0.004% lead.
By ensuring that the batteries are disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential
negative consequences for the environment and human health, which may otherwise
be caused by inappropriate disposal. Recycling materials will help to conserve natural
resources. Where for safety, performance or data protection reasons, products require
a fixed connection to an internal battery, this must only be replaced by qualified service
personnel.
Deliver the product at the end of its service life to collection centres suitable for the disposal
of electrical and electronic equipment: this ensures that the battery inside it is also treated
correctly.
For more detailed information about disposal of the dead battery, contact the local waste
disposal service or the shop where it was purchased.
In any case, disposal must be carried out in accordance with the legislation in force in the
country of purchase.
