Handling of batteries and devices with built-in batteries in EU member states
This section explains the precautions for disposing of waste batteries in EU member states and for exporting batteries and
devices with built-in batteries to EU member states.
■Precautions for disposal
EU member states have a separate collection system for waste batteries.
Dispose of batteries properly at the local community waste collection/recycling center.
The following symbol is printed on batteries and packaging of devices with built-in batteries used for Mitsubishi Electric
Graphic Operation Terminal (GOT).
This symbol is valid in the EU member states only.
The symbol is specified in Article 20 "Information for end-users" and ANNEX II of the new EU Battery Directive
(2006/66/EC).
The symbol indicates that batteries need to be disposed of separately from other wastes.
■Precautions for export
The new EU Battery Directive (2006/66/EC) requires the following when batteries and/or devices with built-in batteries are
sold and exported to EU member states.
To print the symbol on batteries, devices, or their packaging
To explain the symbol in the manuals of the products
The batteries and/or devices with built-in batteries manufactured before the EU Battery Directive (2006/66/EC) took effect are
also subject to the directive.
• Labelling the symbol
To market or export batteries and/or devices with built-in batteries, which have no symbol, to EU member states, print the
symbol as shown in (1) above on the GOT or its packaging.
• Attaching the manual
