Disposing of a Used Battery Pack
Å
WARNING: There is a risk of fire and chemical burn if a battery pack
is handled improperly. Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a battery
pack or short the contacts on a battery pack. Do not expose a battery
pack to temperatures higher than 60° C (140° F), or dispose of a
battery pack in water or fire.
When a battery pack has reached the end of its useful life, do not
dispose of it in general household waste.
■ In North America, you can dispose of battery packs by using
the HP battery recycling program. This program provides you
with a postage-paid battery pack mailer preaddressed to a
reclamation facility where the metals are recycled. For more
information, call the telephone number listed for your
location in the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet,
included with the notebook.
■ In Europe, dispose of or recycle battery packs by using the
public collection system or by returning them to HP, your
authorized HP partners, or their agents.
■ In other regions, refer to the Worldwide Telephone Numbers
booklet, included with the notebook, to contact an HP
authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider and request
information about battery pack disposal.
For more information about battery pack precautions and disposal
and the complete text of governmental agency notices, refer on
the Documentation Library CD to the Regulatory and Safety
Notices guide.
