Disposal of batteries
This product contains batteries that cannot be disposed
of as unsorted municipal waste in the European Union.
Please read carefully the data sheets for the battery
type used. Each battery is marked with this symbol
which indicates that the product may contain cadmium
(Cd), lead (Pb), or mercury (Hg). For proper recycling,
return the batteries to the manufacturer or to a designat-
ed collection point.
What do the markings mean?
Batteries and accumulators must be marked (either on
the battery, on the accumulator, or on their packaging,
depending on the size) with the separate collection sym-
bol. In addition, the marking must include the chemical
symbols of specific levels or toxic metals as follows:
● Cadmium (Cd) over 0.002 %
● Lead (Pb) over 0.004 %
● Mercury (Hg) over 0.0005 %
