Notes on disposal

The symbol of the crossed-out dumpster on the product, the (rechargeable)

battery (if applicable) and/or the packaging indicates that these products must

not be disposed of with normal household waste, but must be disposed of sep-

arately at the end of their service life. For the packaging, follow the regulations

in your country for separating waste. Improper disposal of packaging materials

can be harmful to your health and the environment.

The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment, (re-

chargeable) batteries (if applicable) and packaging is intended to promote

reuse and recycling and to prevent negative impacts on public health and the

environment, for example due to hazardous substances contained in these

products. At the end of their service life, recycle electrical and electronic

equipment and (rechargeable) batteries so that their materials can be reused

and to prevent environmental pollution.

If (rechargeable) batteries can be removed without destroying them, you are

obliged to dispose of them separately (see the product’s operating instructions

for information on how to remove the batteries safely). Be especially careful

when handling (rechargeable) batteries containing lithium, as these pose spe-

cial hazards, such as the risk of ﬁre and/or health risks if button cells are swal-

lowed. Reduce battery waste as much as possible by using longer-life batteries

or rechargeable batteries.

Further information on the recycling of these products can be obtained from

your municipal administration, from the municipal collection points, or from

your Sennheiser partner. You may also be able to return electrical or electronic

equipment to your distributor, if they are legally required to do so. By dispos-

ing of your batteries properly, you are helping to protect public health and the

environment.
