15. Disposal

PACKAGING

Your device has been packaged to protect it from damage in transit. The packaging is made of materials that can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner and recycled properly.

DEVICE

All old devices marked with the symbol shown must not be disposed of in normal household waste.

In accordance with Directive 2012/19/EU, the device must be properly disposed of at the end of its service life.

This involves separating the materials in the device for the purpose of recycling as well as minimising the environmental impact and negative effects on human health.

The device is fitted with an integrated rechargeable battery. At the end of its service life, do not dispose of the device in the normal household rubbish. Instead, contact your local authority to find out how to dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner at collection points for electrical and electronic scrap.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

Rechargeable batteries that carry the symbol illustrated must not be disposed of in ordinary household waste.

In accordance with Regulation 2023/1542, rechargeable batteries must be disposed of properly at the end of their service life.

They may contain toxic heavy metals and are subject to hazardous waste treatment.

The chemical symbols of the heavy metals are as follows:

Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead.

You are legally obliged to return old batteries and rechargeable batteries after use. Therefore, please return used batteries and rechargeable batteries free of charge to a retailer or a municipal collection point.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries may contain substances that are harmful to human health and the environment. The negative effects can only be avoided if old batteries and rechargeable batteries are collected and recycled separately.

Take particular care when handling batteries and rechargeable batteries containing lithium, as there is an increased risk of fire if they are used incorrectly. Tape the poles to prevent an external short circuit.

Use batteries with a long service life or rechargeable batteries to reduce the generation of waste from old batteries.

Follow the storage instructions and avoid completely discharging and recharging the battery to extend its service life.

In addition, batteries or electrical and electronic devices with batteries or rechargeable batteries must not be left in public areas in order to avoid littering. Check options for reusing batteries instead of disposing of them, for example by repairing the battery.
