Protecting the environment
Old devices must not be
disposed of with household
waste!
If the device is no longer oper-
ational, every consumer is required by
law to dispose of old devices separately
from household waste, e.g. at a collection
point run by the communal authority/bor-
ough. This ensures that old devices are
recycled in a professional manner and
also rules out negative consequences for
the environment.
For this reason, electrical equipment is
labelled with the adjacent symbol.
Batteries and rechargeable
batteries do not belong in the
household waste!
Every consumer is required by law to
bring all batteries and rechargeable bat-
teries, regardless whether they contain
harmful substances*) or not, to a collec-
2
tion point run by the communal authority
or borough or to a retailer, so that they
can be disposed of in an environmentally
friendly manner.
Please only turn in batteries and re-
chargeable batteries which are empty!
*) labelled with: Cd = cadmium, Hg =
mercury, Pb = lead
