13. Disposal
a) Product
Electronic devices are recyclable and do not belong in the household waste. Dispose
of an unserviceable product in accordance with the relevant statutory regulations.
The built-in battery must be removed before disposal.
To do this, open the case as described in the “Commissioning” chapter, separate the battery
from the board and remove the built-in battery. Likewise, if an additional battery is connected,
separate it from the board as well.
Dispose of the batteries separately from the product.
b) Batteries and rechargeable batteries
As the end user, you are required by law (battery regulation) to return used batteries. Do not
dispose of used batteries in the household waste!
Batteries/rechargeable batteries contain harmful materials and are labelled with
the symbol shown to indicate that disposal in the household waste is forbidden.
The symbols of the critical heavy metals are: Cd=cadmium, Hg=mercury, Pb=lead
(marking can be seen on the battery/rechargeable battery, e.g., underneath the refuse
bin symbol shown on the left).
You can return your used batteries/rechargeable batteries free of charge at the official
collection points of your community, in our stores, or at places where batteries or
rechargeable batteries are sold! That way you fulfil your statutory obligations and
contribute to the protection of the environment!
