Disposal of batteries and/or accumulators
Disposing of the computer and the computer's batteries
■ Discard this computer in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations. For further information, contact your local government.
■ This computer contains rechargeable batteries. 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 regulation, 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. Disposal of this material may be
regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal, reuse or
recycling information, please contact your local government.
The crossed out wheeled dust bin symbol indicates that batteries and/or
accumulators must be collected and disposed of separately from household
waste.
If the battery or accumulator contains more than the specified values of lead (Pb),
mercury (Hg), and/or cadmium (Cd) defined in the Battery Directive
(2006/66/EC), then the chemical symbols for lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) and/or
cadmium (Cd) will appear below the crossed out wheeled dust bin symbol.
By participating in separate collection of batteries, you will help to assure the
proper disposal of products and batteries and thus help to prevent potential
negative consequences for the environment and human health.
For more detailed information about the collection and recycling programmes
available in your country, please visit our website (http://eu.computers.toshiba-
europe.com) or contact your local city office or the shop where you purchased the
product.
These symbols may not stick depending on the country and region where you
purchased.
