13. Disposal
a) General
When the device has become unusable, dispose of it in accordance
with the current statutory regulations.
b) Batteries and accumulators
You, as the ultimate consumer, are required by law (Battery Ordinance) to
return all spent batteries/accumulators. Disposing of spent batteries/
accumulators in the household waste is prohibited!
Batteries/accumulators containing hazardous substances are
marked by the symbols alongside. These symbols also indicate
that it is prohibited to dispose of these batteries in the household
waste. The symbols for the heavy metals concerned are as
follows: Cd=cadmium, Hg=mercury, Pb=lead (the designation is
written on the accumulator e.g. under the rubbish can symbols
depicted at the left).
You can hand in your used batteries/accumulators at the official
collection points of your community at no cost, at our outlets or
everywhere where batteries/accumulators are sold.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of
the environment.
