3. Removal of waste batteries and accumulators
(Product with embedded battery ONLY)
In case this product contains a battery incorporated within the product which cannot be readily
removed by end users, SHARP recommends that only qualified professionals remove the
battery, either for replacement or for recycling at the end of this product's working life.
To prevent damage to the product, and for their own safety, users should not attempt to remove
the battery and should contact authorised independent service providers for advice.

Recycling lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-Ion batteries are recyclable. You can help preserve our environment by returning
your used rechargeable batteries to the collection and recycling location nearest you.
For more information regarding recycling of rechargeable batteries, call toll free
1-800-822-8837, or visit http://www.call2recycle.org/
CAUTION: Do not handle damaged or leaking Lithium-Ion batteries.
The RBRC™ Battery Recycling Seal on the Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries/battery packs indicates
SHARP is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries/
battery packs at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service in the United States or
Canada. The RBRC™ program provides a convenient alternative to placing Li-ion
batteries into the trash or municipal waste stream, which is illegal in some areas.
Please call1-800-822-8837 for information on Li-ion battery recycling in your area.
SHARP's involvement in this program is part our commitment to preserving our
environment and conserving our natural resources.
