Faulty or used batteries must be
recycled in accordance with Directive
2006/66/EC and its amendments.
Return the battery and / or the device
through the appropriate collection
facilities.
Batteries may not be disposed of with the
usual domestic waste. They may contain
toxic heavy metals and are subject to
hazardous waste treatment rules and reg-
ulations. The chemical symbols for heavy
metals are as follows: Cd = cadmium,
Hg = mercury, Pb = lead. That is why
you should dispose of used batteries at a
local collection point.
