8. Waste disposal
This product and its packaging have been manufac-
tured using high-grade materials and components
which can be recycled and reused. This reduces
waste and protects the environment. Dispose of the
packaging in an environmentally friendly manner
using the collection systems that have been set up.
Disposal of the electrical device:
Remove non-permanently installed batteries
and rechargeable batteries from the device and
dispose of them separately.
This product is labelled in accordance with the EU
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive
(WEEE). This product must not be disposed of in
ordinary household waste. As a consumer, you are
required to take end-of-life devices to a designated
collection point for the disposal of electrical and
electronic equipment, in order to ensure environ-
mentally-compatible disposal. The return service is
free of charge. Observe the current regulations in
place!
Disposal of the batteries: Batteries and
rechargeable batteries must never be disposed
of with household waste. They contain pollutants
such as heavy metals, which can be harmful to
the environment and human health if disposed
of improperly, and valuable raw materials such
as iron, zinc, manganese or nickel that can be
recovered from waste. As a consumer, you are
legally obliged to hand in used batteries and
rechargeable batteries for environmentally friendly
disposal at retailers or appropriate collection points in
accordance with national or local regulations. The
return service is free of charge. You can obtain
addresses of suitable collection points from your
city council or local authority. The names for the
heavy metals contained are: Cd = cadmium,
Hg = mercury, Pb = lead. Reduce the generation
of waste from batteries by using batteries with a
longer lifespan or suitable rechargeable batteries.
Avoid littering the environment and do not leave
batteries or battery-containing electrical and
electronic devices lying around carelessly. The
separate collection and recycling of batteries
and rechargeable batteries make an important
contribution to relieving the impact on the environ-
ment and avoiding health risks.
WARNING!
Damage to the environment and health
through incorrect disposal of the batteries!
WARNING!
Batteries containing lithium can explode
Batteries and rechargeable batteries containing
lithium (Li=lithium) present a high risk of fire and
explosion due to heat or mechanical damage with
potentially serious consequences for people and
the environment. Pay particular attention to correct
disposal.
