Environment
- Do not throw away the appliance or the UV light
bulb (bulb contains mercury) with the normal
household waste at the end of its life, but hand
it in at an official collection point for recycling. By
doing this, you help to preserve the environment.
- The built-in rechargeable battery of the Sonicare
contains substances that may pollute the
environment. Always remove the battery before
you discard and hand in the appliance at an official
collection point. Dispose of the battery at an
official collection point for batteries. If you have
trouble removing the battery, you can also take
the appliance to a Philips service centre. The staff
of this centre will remove the battery for you and
will dispose of it in an environmentally safe way.
Removing the rechargeable battery
This process is not reversible.
To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a
flat-head (standard) screwdriver. Observe basic
safety precautions when you follow the procedure
described below. Be sure to protect your eyes, hands,
fingers, and the surface on which you work.
1 Remove the toothbrush from the charger,
switch it on and let it operate until it stops.
Continue to switch on the Sonicare until the
battery is completely empty.
