15. Disposal
a) General Information
Please dispose of the unserviceable device according to the current statutory
requirements.
b) Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries
You, as the end user, are required by law (Battery Ordinance) to return all used batteries/
rechargeable batteries. Disposal of them in the household waste is prohibited!
Contaminated batteries/rechargeable batteries are labelled with these symbols
to indicate that disposal in domestic waste is forbidden. The symbols for
dangerous heavy metal constituents are: Cd=cadmium, Hg=mercury, Pb=lead
(the designation is written on the rechargeable battery e.g. under the rubbish
can symbols depicted at the left).
You can hand in your used batteries at no cost at official collection points in your
community, at our stores or anywhere batteries are sold.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.
