information.
Your device contains a rechargeable lithium battery.
Depleted batteries or rechargeable batteries that can no longer be recharged
should never be disposed of along with normal or household waste. Old batteries
can contain harmful substances that are hazardous to health and damaging to
the environment. Please return the batteries/rechargeable batteries. Return is
free of charge and required by law. Please only dispose of discharged batteries in
the designated containers and tape the terminals of lithium batteries.
Note: The battery used in this unit poses a fire hazard and can cause chemi-
cal injuries if it is used improperly. Neither the battery nor the battery cells
should be opened or disassembled and they should not be burned or exposed to
temperatures exceeding 100 °C. If the battery needs to be disposed of, it can be
removed as described under point (7). The disposal regulations specified above
are also applicable for old devices.
All batteries and rechargeable batteries can be recycled. Precious raw materials
such as iron, zinc and nickel can therefore be reused.
