16. Disposal of batteries

Dry or rechargeable batteries should never be discarded as normal garbage!

Please use the local facilities for the disposal of exhausted batteries.

Make sure the batteries are fully discharged befo- re disposal.

The batteries are generally fully discharged when the unit in which they are used

-switches itself off or indicates "Battery flat" or

-no longer operates correctly when the batteries have been in use for a long time.

In order to avoid short-circuits, the poles of the batteries should be covered with a piece of adhe- sive tape.

Batteries which contain dangerous substances are marked as follows:

Pb = battery contains lead Cd = battery contains cadmium

Hg = battery contains mercury Li = battery contains lithium
