The power consumption of the clock is very low. The lifetime of high quality
batteries is at least 5 years.
Dispose of the batteries at a suitable facility according to local legal
requirements. It is illegal to dispose of the batteries with household refuse.

treatment center at the instrument's end of life. The instruments are taken to
one of those specialized treatment centers via the recycling system set up for
this purpose.
