Å
WARNING: There is a risk of fire and chemical burn if a battery pack
is handled improperly. Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a battery
pack or short the contacts on it. Do not expose a battery pack to
temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F), or dispose of it in water or fire.
When a battery pack has reached the end of its useful life, do not
dispose of it in general household waste.
■ In Europe, dispose of or recycle battery packs by using the
public collection system or by returning them to HP, your
authorized HP, or their agents.
■ In other regions, refer to the Worldwide Telephone Numbers
booklet included with the notebook to contact a reseller or
service provider and request information about battery pack
disposal.
