11. DISPOSAL INFORMATION
11.3. DISPOSING OF THE BATTERIES
Batteries and power units may not
be disposed of with the household waste. The symbol
on the right means that you as a
consumer are required
to separately dispose of all
batteries and power units. Suitable
collection bins are provided at specialist
shops and numerous public facilities.
Information about the disposal of old batteries
and power units is also available at
specialist waste disposal companies and city and municipal of-
fices.
This type of disposal is free of charge. Protect the environment
and ensure a proper disposal.
An additional chemical symbol Pb (lead) or Hg (mercury) beneath
the crossed-out waste bin indicates that the battery/ power unit
contains a share of more than 0.0005% mercury or 0.004%
lead.
