12. Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be placed in household waste. At the
end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory regulations.
Remove the inserted batteries and dispose of them separately from the product.
Disposal of used batteries!
You are required by law to return all used batteries (Battery Ordinance). They must not be placed in household
waste!
Batteries that contain hazardous substances are labelled with these symbols to indicate that disposal in
household waste is forbidden. The abbreviations for heavy metals in batteries are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg =
Mercury, Pb = Lead. Used batteries can be returned to local collection points, our stores or battery retailers.
You thus fulfill your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.
