11.2 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 hazard-
ous substances are labelled with this symbol to in-
dicate that disposal in household waste is forbidden.
The abbreviations 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 full 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 en-
ergy that may cause them to swell, burst, catch re or explode in
the event of a short circuit.
