Disposing of a Used Battery Pack
Å
WARNING: There is a risk of fire and chemical burn if a battery
pack is handled improperly. Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture
a battery pack or short the contacts on a battery pack. Do not
expose a battery pack to temperatures higher than 60° C (140° F),
or dispose of a battery pack in water or fire.
When a battery pack has reached the end of its useful life, do not
dispose of it in general household waste.
■
In North America, you can dispose of battery packs by using
the Compaq battery recycling program. This program
provides you with a postage-paid battery pack mailer
preaddressed to a reclamation facility where the metals are
recycled. For more information, call the telephone number
listed for your location in the Worldwide Telephone Numbers
booklet, included with the computer.
■
In Europe, dispose of or recycle battery packs by using the
public collection system or by returning them to Compaq,
your authorized Compaq partners, or their agents.
■
In other regions, refer to the Worldwide Telephone Numbers
booklet, included with the notebook, to contact a Compaq
authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider and request
information about battery pack disposal.
