Disposing of used batteries

For models with an accessible battery read the following

disposal information.

The life of a battery pack depends on usage. When the battery pack

needs replacing, the main battery light flashes amber shortly after

you have fully recharged the battery.

You must discard a battery if it becomes damaged.

Never attempt to dispose of a battery pack by burning or by

throwing it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating

apparatus (e.g., microwave oven). Heat can cause a battery pack to

explode and/or release caustic liquid, both which may possibly

cause serious injury.

Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all

applicable laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as

cellophane tape, on the electrode during transportation to avoid a

possible short circuit, fire or electric shock. Failure to do so could

possibly result in serious injury.

Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or an

equivalent battery pack specified in the User's Manual. Other

battery packs have different voltage and terminal polarities. Use of

non-conforming battery packs could generate smoke or cause fire or

rupture, possibly resulting in serious injury.

After repeated use, the batteries will finally lose their ability to hold

a charge and you will need to replace them. Under certain

applicable laws and regulations, it may be illegal to dispose of old

batteries by placing them in the trash.

Please be kind to our shared environment. Check with your local

government authority for details regarding where to recycle old

batteries or how to dispose of them properly.
