Devices that are stored after decommissioning must basically be stored like
new devices.
We recommend replacing the battery with a new one if the Q2 has not been
supplied with voltage for more than 1 year. After two years without voltage
supply the battery charge is less than 20% and an exchange by the Elster
service personnel is required. After 3 years of the battery is completely
discharged.
Please contact Elster GmbH if you want to store the device longer.
Elster, being the manufacturer, will take care of proper disposal of the device once the operational life
expires.
Send the Q2 to the following address:

If you don't want to send the device back, the applicable laws for the disposal
of industrial waste must be strictly observed!
