SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Note on batteries: Batteries must not be exposed to excessive sources of heat such as sunshine, fire or
similar. Only rechargeable batteries may be charged. It is unlawful to dispose of used batteries along with
common household waste. You are obligated to dispose of old batteries (free of charge) at a public collection
point, a business which will accept their return or at a technical customer service location. Used primary and second-
ary (rechargeable) batteries contain high percentages of reusable substances, so-called "recoverable resources".
By ensuring their recovery through appropriate recycling processes instead of combining them with common waste
materials, you make a contribution in preserving important resources and protecting the environment from harmful
heavy metal substances. Batteries containing pollutants are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out garbage can
and a chemical symbol (Cd, Hg or Pb) which is essential for classification of the polluting heavy metal. Please contact
your local authorities for information about disposal facilities.
For lithium-based primary and secondary batteries: Only dispose of completely discharged batteries. If a battery is not
completely discharged, precautions must be taken to prevent short circuiting its terminals, e.g. isolation of the terminals.
