Disposal of waste batteries and electrical and electronic equipment
(applicable in the European Union and other European countries with
separate collection systems)
This symbol on the product, the battery or on the
packaging indicates that the product and the battery
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 products and
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.
The recycling of the materials will help to conserve natural
resources.
