Battery Disposal

Note on the Disposal of Used Batteries:

The following information is intended for those who use batteries or products with built-in batteries
and do not resell them in the form in which they were supplied (end users):

1. Free Return of Used Batteries

Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally required to return used
batteries to ensure proper disposal. You can return used batteries to a local collection point or
to a retailer. We are also obliged as a distributor of batteries to take back used batteries, though
our obligation is limited to the type of used batteries that we carry or have carried as new batteries
in our product range. You can therefore send us used batteries of this kind with sufficient postage
or drop them off free of charge directly at our shipping warehouse at the following address:

Uhrenworld München Center GmbH
Schwanthalerstr. 102
80336 Munich

 
2. Meaning of Battery Symbols

Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out wheeled bin (see below). This symbol
indicates that batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. For batteries that contain
more than 0.0005 percent by mass of mercury, more than 0.002 percent by mass of cadmium, or more
than 0.004 percent by mass of lead, the chemical symbol of the respective pollutant is shown
below the bin symbol – "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" for lead, and "Hg" for mercury.
