15. Disposal
a) Product
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the household
waste. Dispose of the product according to the applicable statutory provisions at the
end of its service life. Remove any inserted (rechargeable) batteries and dispose of
them separately from the product.
b) (Rechargeable) batteries
As the end user, you are required by law (Battery Ordinance) to return all used
(rechargeable) batteries; disposal of them in the household waste is prohibited!
Contaminated (rechargeable) batteries are labelled with this symbol to indicate that
disposal in the domestic waste is forbidden. The designations for the heavy metals
involved are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (name on (rechargeable)
batteries, e.g. below the trash icon on the left).
Used (rechargeable) batteries can be returned to collection points in your municipality, our
stores or wherever (rechargeable) batteries are sold.
You thus fulfil the legal requirements and make your contribution to protecting the environment.
