Liability exclusion
As manufacturers and vendors have no influence on the operation and maintenance of batteries, we bring these
hazards expressly to your attention but deny all further liability.
Disposal restrictions
Electrical and electronic equipment should be disposed separately from the household waste.
Take your unwanted equipment to your local community collection point. This requirement applies to
member countries of the European Union as well as other non-European countries with a separate
waste collection system. Never throw batteries into normal household waste, but dispose of
discharged batteries at the collection points provided for that purpose (e.g. your local toxic waste
disposal centre).
