NOTES ON ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

At the end of its useful life, this product must not be disposed of with regular 
household waste but must be returned to a collection point for the recycling 
of electrical and electronic equipment. The symbol on the product, user’s 
manual and packaging point this out. 

The materials can be reused in accordance with their markings. Through re-

use, recycling of raw materials, or other forms of recycling of old products, you are making 
an important contribution to the protection of our environment. 

Your local administrative office can advise you of the responsible waste disposal point. 

INFORMATION ABOUT COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE BATTERIES 
(DIRECTIVE 2006/66/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL 
OF EUROPEAN UNION) (FOR EUROPEAN CUSTOMERS ONLY)

Batteries bearing any of these symbols indicate that they 
should be treated as “separate collection” and not as 
municipal waste. It is encouraged that necessary measures 
are implemented to maximize the separate collection of 
waste batteries and to minimize the disposal of batteries as 
mixed municipal waste. 

End-users are exhorted not to dispose waste batteries as 
unsorted municipal waste. In order to achieve a high level of 
recycling waste batteries, discard waste batteries separately 
and properly through an accessible collection point in your 

vicinity. For more information about collection and recycling of waste batteries, please 
contact your local municipality, your waste disposal service or the point of sale where you 
purchased the items.

By ensuring compliance and conformance to proper disposal of waste batteries, potential 
hazardous effects on human health is prevented and the negative impact of batteries and 
waste batteries on the environment is minimized, thus contributing to the protection, 
preservation and quality improvement of the environment.
