Disposal of waste batteries (applicable in the European Union and
other European countries with separate collection systems)
This symbol on the battery or on the packaging indicates that the
battery provided with this product shall not be treated as
household waste. On certain batteries this symbol might be used
in combination with a chemical symbol. The chemical symbols for
mercury (Hg) or lead (Pb) are added if the battery contains more
than 0.0005% mercury or 0.004% lead.
By ensuring these batteries are disposed of correctly, you will help prevent
potentially negative consequences for the environment and human health which
could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of the battery. The
recycling of the materials will help to conserve natural resources.
In case of products that for safety, performance or data integrity reasons require a
permanent connection with an incorporated battery, this battery should be replaced
by qualified service staff only.
To ensure that the battery will be treated properly, hand over the product at end-of-
life to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic
equipment.
