Disposing of used batteries

Disposing of used batteries
The life of a battery depends on usage. When the battery needs
replacing, the battery light flashes amber shortly after you have
fully recharged the battery.
You must discard a battery if it becomes damaged.
After repeated use, the batteries will finally lose their ability to hold
a charge and you will need to replace them. Under certain
applicable laws and regulations, it may be illegal to dispose of old
batteries by placing them in the trash.
Please be kind to our shared environment. Check with your local
government authority for details regarding where to recycle old
batteries or how to dispose of them properly. If you cannot find the
information you need elsewhere, call Toshiba at: (800) 457-7777.
In addition, Toshiba's recycling initiatives include recycling
programs, events, and consumer promotions. For details, please

applicable laws and regulations.
