length of more than 50 cm. The distributor must ask the consumer at the
time of concluding the sales contract about any corresponding intention
to return the product. Beyond this, consumers can hand in up to three
old devices of one type free of charge at a distributor's collection point
without this being linked to the purchase of a new device. However, the
edge lengths of the respective devices must not exceed 25 cm.
Remove the battery without destroying it before disposal and dispose of
it separately (see Disposal of batteries).
Disposal of batteries
The accompanying symbol indicates that batteries must not be
disposed of with normal household waste. Defective or used bat-
teries must be recycled in accordance with Directive 2006/66/
EU and its amendments. Consumers are legally obliged to hand
in all batteries, regardless of whether they contain harmful substances,
such as:
Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead, Li = lithium or not, to a collec-
tion point in their municipality/district or a retail outlet to ensure environ-
mentally friendly disposal and to recover valuable raw materials, such
as cobalt, nickel or copper. The return of batteries is free of charge.
WARNING! Environmental damage
due to incorrect disposal of batteries!
Some of the possible contents, such as mercury, cadmium and lead, are
poisonous and, if not disposed of properly, endanger the environment.
Heavy metals, for example, can have harmful effects on the health of
humans, animals and plants and accumulate in the environment and in
the food chain, and then enter the body indirectly via food.
WARNING!
Risk of explosion!
With used batteries containing lithium (Li = lithium), there is a high risk of
fire. Therefore, special attention must be paid to the proper disposal of
used and rechargeable batteries containing lithium. Incorrect disposal
can also lead to internal and external short circuits due to thermal ef-
fects (heat) or mechanical damage. A short circuit can lead to a fire or
an explosion and have serious consequences for humans and the en-
vironment. For this reason, tape off the poles of lithium-based batteries
prior to disposal in order to avoid an external short circuit. Batteries that
