Disposing of used batteries
Disposing of used batteries
The life of a battery depends on usage. When the battery needs 
replacing, the battery light flashes amber shortly after you have 
fully recharged the battery. 
You must discard a battery if it becomes damaged.
Never attempt to dispose of a battery pack by burning or by 
throwing it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating 
apparatus (e.g., microwave oven).
Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all 
applicable laws and regulations.
Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or an 
equivalent battery specified in the User's Guide. Other battery packs 
have different voltage and terminal polarities. Use of non-conforming 
batteries could generate smoke or cause fire or rupture, possibly 
resulting in serious injury.
After repeated use, the batteries will finally lose their ability to hold 
a charge and you will need to replace them. Under certain 
applicable laws and regulations, it may be illegal to dispose of old 
batteries by placing them in the trash.
Please be kind to our shared environment. Check with your local 
government authority for details regarding where to recycle old 
batteries or how to dispose of them properly. If you cannot find the 
information you need elsewhere, call Toshiba at: (800) 457-7777.
In addition, Toshiba’s recycling initiatives include recycling 
programs, events, and consumer promotions. For details, please
