This symbol (=crossed-out trash can) means that batteries or rechargeable bat-
teries may not be disposed of in the regular household waste. Consumers are
legally obliged to take all batteries and rechargeable batteries to one of the col-
lection points provided by their town/community or local shops, regardless of
whether they contain harmful substances*) or not, so that they can be disposed

The return of used batteries and rechargeable batteries is free of charge.
Batteries may contain substances such as mercury, cadmium or lead, which are
t z t
n u
b e

toxic and pollute the environment if not correctly disposed of. Heavy metals, for
instance, may harm the health of human beings, animals or plants. They can

accumulate in the environment or within the food chain and may be ingested into
the body this way.

Used batteries containing lithium pose a high risk of fire. This is why special at-

teries containing lithium. If batteries are not properly disposed of, there is also a
risk of internal or external short circuits due to exposure to thermal stress (heat)

or mechanical damage.
A short circuit may lead to a fire or explosion, causing serious damage to the

d e
e n
e r
environment or human health. Therefore, always cover the poles of lithium-con-
taining batteries with tape before disposing of them to prevent an external short

Batteries or rechargeable batteries that are not permanently built in to a device

must be taken out of the device and disposed of
separately from it.

Always make sure batteries or rechargeable batteries

are discharged before disposing of them!

If possible, use rechargeable batteries rather than
