Instructions for Users on Removal and Disposal of Used Batteries.
CAUTION
Risk of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Alkaline batteries are considered nonhazardous. Rechargeable batteries (i.e., nickel
cadmium, nickel metal-hydride, lithium and lithium-ion) are considered hazardous
household materials and may pose an unnecessary health and safety risk.
In the European Union and other locations, it is illegal to dispose of any battery with
household trash. All batteries must be disposed of in an environmentally sound
manner. Contact your local waste management officials for information regarding the
environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of used batteries.
To remove the batteries from your equipment or remote control, reverse the procedure
described for inserting batteries in the owner’s manual.
For products with a built-in battery that lasts for the lifetime of the product, removal
may not be possible for the user. In this case, recycling or recovery centers handle the
dismantling of the product and the removal of the battery. If, for any reason, it becomes
necessary to replace such a battery, this procedure must be performed by authorized
service centers.
