Removal of built-in rechargeable battery
The built-in rechargeable battery must only be
removed by a qualified professional when the
appliance is discarded. Before removing the battery,
make sure that the appliance is disconnected from
the wall socket and that the battery is completely
empty.
Take any necessary safety precautions when you
handle tools to open the appliance and when you
dispose of the rechargeable battery.
When you handle batteries, make sure that your
hands, the product and the batteries are dry.
To avoid accidental short-circuiting of batteries
after removal, do not let battery terminals come
into contact with metal objects (e.g. coins,
hairpins, rings). Do not wrap batteries in
aluminum foil. Tape battery terminals or put
batteries in a plastic bag before you discard
them.
Check if there are screws in the back or front of the
1
appliance. If so, remove them.
2 Remove the back and/or front panel of the
appliance with a screwdriver. If necessary, also
remove additional screws and/or parts until you
see the printed circuit board with the rechargeable
battery.
