Disposal of waste batteries (applicable in the European Union and other
European countries with separate collection systems)
This symbol on the battery or on the packaging indicates that
the battery provided with this product shall not be treated as
household waste.
On certain batteries this symbol might be used in combination
with a chemical symbol. The chemical symbols for mercury (Hg)
or lead (Pb) are added if the battery contains more than 0.0005% mercury or
0.004% lead.
By ensuring these batteries are disposed of correctly, you will help prevent
potentially negative consequences for the environment and human health
which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of the
battery. The recycling of the materials will help to conserve natural resources.
In case of products that for safety, performance or data integrity reasons
require a permanent connection with an incorporated battery, this battery
should be replaced by qualified service staff only.
