10. Environmental regulations and disposal information
Devices marked with this symbol are subject to the European Union Directive
2012/19/EU. Electrical and electronic devices may not be put in the household
waste, but must be disposed of via designated public disposal centres. By properly
disposing of the old device, you can avoid environmental damage and hazards to
health. Further information regarding proper disposal of the old device can be
obtained from your local authority or the shop where you purchased the device.
The symbol of the crossed-out wheelie bin on conventional and rechargeable
batteries indicates that they cannot be disposed of in normal domestic waste but
must be disposed of separately.
Where batteries contain toxic materials, the chemical symbol of the toxic material
is shown underneath the symbol, with meanings as follows:
- Pb: Battery contains lead
- Cd: Battery contains cadmium
- Hg: Battery contains mercury
You are obliged by law to return used batteries. Old batteries can contain toxic
materials which can be damaging to health or the environment if not properly
stored or disposed of. Batteries also contain important raw materials, such as iron,
zinc, manganese and nickel, which can be reused.
After use, you can return the batteries to us or to a local collection point (e.g. in
retail outlets or a local collection point) free of charge. Please note that batteries
must be disposed of fully discharged at appropriate collection points for old
batteries. If disposing of batteries which are not fully discharged, take precautions
to prevent short circuits.
Dispose of all packaging in an environmentally friendly manner. Cardboard
packaging can be taken to paper recycling centres or public collection points for
recycling. Any film or plastic contained in the packaging should be taken to your
public collection points for disposal.
