Important battery and WEEE information

Take back and recycling information for WEEE and batteries/accumulators in the European Union and the United Kingdom

LENOVO Y Gaming Mechanical - Important battery and WEEE information - 1

The crossed-out wheeled bin marking applies only to countries with WEEE and batteries waste regulations within the European Union (EU), and United Kingdom (UK).

Appliances and batteries/accumulators are labeled in accordance with local regulations concerning waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and waste batteries and waste accumulators. These regulations determine the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances and used batteries/accumulators as applicable within each geography. This label is applied to various products to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but rather put in the established collection systems for reclaiming these end of life products.

The label on the battery may also include a chemical symbol for the metal concerned in the battery (Pb for lead, Hg for mercury, and Cd for cadmium).

Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and users of batteries/accumulators with the crossed-out wheeled bin marking must not dispose of end of life products as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to them for the return, recycle, and recovery of WEEE and waste batteries/accumulators and to minimize any potential effects of EEE and batteries on the environment and human health due to the presence of hazardous substances.

Lenovo electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) may contain parts and components, which at end-of-life might qualify as hazardous waste.

EEE and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) can be delivered free of charge to the place of sale or any distributor that sells electrical and electronic equipment of the same nature and function as the used EEE or WEEE.

Before placing electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) in the waste collection stream or in waste collection facilities, the end user of equipment containing batteries and/or accumulators must remove those batteries and accumulators for separate collection.

Dispose of lithium batteries and battery packs from Lenovo products:

A coin-cell type lithium battery might be installed inside your Lenovo product. You can find details about the battery in the product documentation. If the battery needs to be replaced, contact your place of purchase or contact Lenovo for service. If you need to dispose of a lithium battery, insulate it with vinyl tape, contact your place of purchase or a waste-disposal operator, and follow their instructions.

Your Lenovo device might contain a lithium-ion battery pack or a nickel metal hydride battery pack. You can find details on the battery pack in the product documentation. If you need to dispose of a battery pack, insulate it with vinyl tape, contact Lenovo sales, service, or your place of purchase, or a waste-disposal operator, and follow their instructions.
