SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Removing and Disposing of
Ni-Cad Batteries
PowerDent Ultra is equipped with long-lasting, recharge-
able nickel-cadmium batteries. To help protect our environ-
ment, they should be removed at the end of the unit’s life,
for safe disposal. Batteries CANNOT be replaced.

1.) Unscrew cap on bottom of handle and remove.
Note: To assist you in removing the bottom cap, flip the
charging base upside down and place the bottom of the
unit handle over the molded, flat key. When locked in
place, twist handle to the left to unscrew and remove cap.
2.) Push the drive shaft against a hard surface, so that the
motor together with the cell-pack is pushed out the
bottom of the PowerDent Ultra handle.
3.) Pull the motor and the cell-pack out of the
PowerDent Ultra handle.
4.) Separate the cell-pack and the printed circuit
board from the motor by breaking them apart.
5.) Remove the broken-off part of the printed circuit
board from the separated cell-pack.
6.) Remove the cell-pack from its plastic cover.
7.) Dispose of the cell-pack in compliance with national or
local regulations for environmental protection and
recycling of raw materials. Do not dispose of the
cell-pack by burning or incineration.
