Disposal
Disposal of the device
Electric devices may not be thrown away as part of normal
household trash. If you can no longer use your electric device,
dispose of it in accordance with the legal provisions applicable
in your state. This will ensure that old electric devices are
recycled and environmental pollution is kept to a minimum.
Further information about disposal is available on the internet
at www.epa.gov.
Disposal of batteries
Some batteries contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead,
cadmium, and nickel; therefore, many communities do not
allow them to be thrown away with your regular trash. Recycling
is always the best option for disposing of used batteries.
Dry-cell batteries are used in a variety of electronics and include
alkaline and carbon zinc (9-volt, D, C, AA, AAA), mercuric-oxide
(button, some cylindrical and rectangular), silver-oxide and
zinc-air (button), and lithium (9-volt, C, AA, coin, button, re-
chargeable) batteries. Look for in-store recycling bins or
community collection events to dispose of these batteries.
Disposal of the packaging
The packaging materials have been selected
for their environmental friendliness and ease of
disposal, and are therefore recyclable.
Dispose of packaging materials that are no longer needed in
accordance with applicable local regulations.
Note the marking on the different packaging materials
and separate them accordingly. The packaging mate-
rials are marked with abbreviations (a) and numbers
(b) with the following meanings: 1–7: Plastics,
20–22: Paper and cardboard, 80–98: Composites.
