mium, Hg=Mercury) are contained in the battery. To minimize potential effects on the environ-
ment and human health, it is important that all marked batteries that you remove from the
product are properly recycled or disposed.
For information on how the battery may be safely removed from the device, please consult
the service manual or equipment instructions. Information on the potential effects on the
