b) Batteries/rechargeable batteries
Remove any inserted batteries and dispose of them separately from the product. You as the end
user are required by law (Battery Ordinance) to return all used batteries/rechargeable batteries.
Disposing of them in the household waste is prohibited.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries containing hazardous substances are labelled with
this symbol to indicate that disposal in household waste is forbidden. The abbrevia-
tions for heavy metals in batteries are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead
(name on batteries/rechargeable batteries, e.g. below the trash icon on the left).
Used batteries/rechargeable batteries can be returned free of charge to local collection points,
our stores or battery retailers. You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to envi-
ronmental protection.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries that are disposed of should be protected against short circuit
and their exposed terminals should be covered completely with insulating tape before disposal.
Even empty batteries/rechargeable batteries can contain residual energy that may cause them
to swell, burst, catch fire or explode in the event of a short circuit.
