Handling
Equipment Recycling.
Production of this equipment required the extraction and use of natural resources.
The equipment may contain substances that could be harmful to the environment
or human health if improperly handled at the product’s end of life. In order to avoid
release of such substances into the environment and to reduce the use of natural
resource
will ensure that most of the materials are reused or recycled appropriately.
Battery Recycling. The included THSBAT lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack
must be recycled or disposed of properly.

information about recycling options, check the Support/Service section of the
Tekt ro n ix Web si t e (ww w. t ek t ro n ix . co m ).
Transporting Lithium-Ion
Batteries
Lithium-Ion batteries are subject to disposal and recycling regulations that
vary by country and region. Always check and follow your applicable
regulations before disposing of any battery. Contact Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation (www.rbrc.org) for U.S.A. and Canada, or your local
battery recycling organization.
Many countries prohibit the disposal of waste electronic equipment in
standard waste receptacles.
Place only discharged batteries in a battery collection container. Use electrical
tape or other approved covering over the battery connection points to prevent
hort circuits.
