Proper Disposal of the Battery
When the battery has reached the end of its useful life, the battery 
should be disposed of by a qualified recycling or hazardous 
materials handler. Do not incinerate the battery or dispose of the 
battery with general waste materials. You may send the scanner’s 
battery to us (postage paid). The shipper is responsible for 
complying with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations 
related to the packing, labeling, manifesting, and shipping of spent batteries. 
Contact the Product Service Department (page xv) for recycling or disposal 
information. Since you may find that your cost of returning the batteries is 
significant, it may be more cost effective to locate a local recycle/disposal 
company.
