Batteries do not belong with household rubbish. As a consumer, you are legally required to return
used batteries. You can take your old batteries to public collection points in your municipality, or hand
them in at any shop that sells batteries of that sort.
These symbols can be found on batteries that contain pollutants:
Pb
= Battery contains lead
Cd
= Battery contains cadmium
Hg
= Battery contains mercury
Notes on environmental protection
Once this device has worn out, you should not just throw it away with household rubbish. There will be
a recycling depot in your municipality that takes back used devices and recycles their parts.
