Disposal of batteries and product
The crossed-out wheelie bin symbols on products and batteries, or
on their respective packaging, indicates they must not be disposed
of in domestic waste as they contain substances that can be
damaging to the environment and human health.
The chemical symbols Hg, Cd or Pb, where marked, indicate that
the battery contains more than the specified value of mercury (Hg),
cadmium(Cd)orlead(Pb)setoutinBatteryDirective(2006/66/EC).
The solid bar indicates that the product was placed on the market

Formoreinformation,pleasevisit:www.recycle-more.co.uk;

you may see this icon appear on the screen .
This indicates that battery power is low, and
you should replace the batteries soon. Battery
time remaining once the icon first appears is
approximately 10-30 minutes, depending on the
type of batteries in use. After that, InnoTab® 3will show the very low battery
