Disposal of batteries
The accompanying symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of
with normal household waste. Defective or used batteries 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 con-
tain harmful substances, such as:
Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead, Li = lithium or not, to a collection point in
their municipality/district or a retail outlet to ensure environmentally friendly dispo-
sal 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 indi-
rectly via food.
WARNING!
Risk of explosion!
With used batteries containing lithium (Li = lithium), there is a high risk of fire. There-
fore, 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 effects (heat) or mechanical damage. A short circuit
can lead to a fire or an explosion and have serious consequences for humans and
the environment. For this reason, tape off the poles of lithium-based batteries prior
to disposal in order to avoid an external short circuit. Batteries that are not perman-
ently installed in the device must be removed and disposed of separately before
disposing of the device. Please return batteries only when fully discharged! Use
rechargeable batteries instead of disposable batteries whenever possible.
