Statutory Notification about the Battery Regulations
The delivery of many devices includes batteries, which for example
serve to operate the remote control. There also could be batteries or
accumulators built into the device itself. In connection with the sale
of these batteries or accumulators, we are obliged under the Battery
Regulations to notify our customers of the following:
Please dispose of old batteries at a council collection point or return
them to a local shop at no cost. The disposal in domestic refuse is
strictly forbidden according to the Battery Regulations. You can
return used batteries obtained from us at no charge at the address
on the last side in this manual or by posting with sufficient stamps.
Batteries, which contain harmful substances, are marked with the
symbol of a crossed-out waste bin, similar to the illustration shown
left. Under the waste bin symbol is the chemical symbol for the
harmful substance, e.g. „Cd“ for cadmium, „Pb“ stands for lead and
„Hg“ for mercury.
You can obtain further information about the Battery Regulations
from the Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und
Reaktorsicherheit
(Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature
Conservation and Reactor Safety)
