DISPOSAL
Dispose of the packaging materials properly, according to their type, such
as paper or cardboard. Contact your local waste-disposal service or environmental
authority for information on the proper disposal.
Do not dispose of electronic devices in the household garbage!
As per Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament on waste electrical and
electronic equipment and its adaptation into German law, used electronic devices
must be collected separately and recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
In accordance with the regulations concerning batteries and rechargeable
batteries, disposing of them in the normal household waste is explicitly forbidden.
Please make sure to dispose of your used batteries as required by law — at a local
collection point or in the retail market. Disposal in domestic waste violates the
Battery Directive.
Batteries that contain toxins are marked with a sign and a chemical symbol. "Cd"
