Disposal of the Battery at the End of its Life [220115/UKV/WEEE-2]
This system contains a lithium-ion rechargeable battery. The disposal of portable and rechargeable batteries is regulated under EU and national laws.
Since batteries contain heavy metals that can cause serious environmental and health problems, they should be separately collected and recycled.
Batteries are labelled with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol, which means that they must not be discarded as house-
hold waste.
As a consumer, you have a legal duty to separate your used batteries from household waste and take them to a collection point for
proper recycling. There are various battery collection points in your locality that will take back used batteries, including retail stores where
batteries are sold and municipal waste collection sites. In some countries, collection bins and boxes are also set up in schools and other
public buildings.
The sales price of this Nintendo product includes the cost of battery collection and recycling.
