The EU Directive 2002/96/EG regulates the proper return, treatment and recycling of used
electronic devices. This symbol means that in the interest of environmental protection the
device must be disposed of separately from household or industrial waste at the end of its
service life in accordance with applicable local legal guidelines. Disposing of used devices
can be done at official recycling centers in your country. Obey local regulations when
disposing of material. Further details on returns (also for non-European countries) can be

Important information on battery disposal
Batteries with this label do not contain harmful substances such as cadmium, lead and
mercury. However, used batteries must not be disposed of along with household waste in

recycling of materials, separate the batteries from other waste and deposit them at a local
recycling center. An additional label with the chemical symbols for Hg, Cd or Pb means
that the batteries contain quantities of mercury, cadmium or lead which exceed the
restrictions set by the EU Directive 2006/66. If batteries are not disposed of properly,
these substances can cause harm to human health or the environment.
