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.

the product at end-of-life to the applicable collection point for 
the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
