Disposal of Hazardous Material
The basic instrument and all optional units ex-
cept Option 78 and Option 78/HS have no bat-
teries or other parts containing hazardous
amounts of substances that require special at-
tention or handling instructions.
Option 78 and Option 78/HS contain a re-
chargeable NiMH battery pack that serves the
purpose of providing uninterruptible power to
the instrument. As all batteries, it has a finite
lifetime. Although NiMH-based cells are by far
less detrimental to the environment than their
NiCd-based predecessors, we strongly recom-
mend to dispose of them by controlled recy-
cling.
CAUTION: Make sure the battery
pack is recycled according to local
regulations.
