Battery Packs

Disposing of a Used Battery Pack

ÅWARNING: There is a risk of fire and chemical burn if a battery pack is handled improperly. Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a battery pack or short the contacts on a battery pack. Do not expose a battery pack to temperatures higher than 60° C (140° F), or dispose of a battery pack in water or fire.

When a battery pack has reached the end of its useful life, do not dispose of it in general household waste.

In North America, you can dispose of battery packs by using the HP battery recycling program. This program provides you with a postage-paid battery pack mailer preaddressed to a reclamation facility where the metals are recycled. For more information, call the telephone number listed for your location in the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet, included in English only with the tablet PC.

In Europe, dispose of or recycle battery packs by using the public collection system or by returning them to HP, your authorized HP partners, or their agents.

In other regions, refer to the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet, included in English only with the tablet PC, to contact an HP-authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider and request information about battery pack disposal.

For more information about battery pack precautions and disposal and the complete text of governmental agency notices, refer on this CD to the Regulatory and Safety Notices guide.
