Getting Started 39 Disposing of used batteries Disposing of used batteries The life of a battery depends on usage. When the battery needs replacing, the battery light flashes amber shortly after you have fully recharged the battery. You must discard a battery if it becomes damaged. Never attempt to dispose of a battery pack by burning or by throwing it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating apparatus (e.g., microwave oven). Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or an equivalent battery specified in the User's Guide. Other battery packs have different voltage and terminal polarities. Use of non-conforming batteries could generate smoke or cause fire or rupture, possibly resulting in serious injury. After repeated use, the batteries will finally lose their ability to hold a charge and you will need to replace them. Under certain applicable laws and regulations, it may be illegal to dispose of old batteries by placing them in the trash. Please be kind to our shared environment. Check with your local government authority for details regarding where to recycle old batteries or how to dispose of them properly. If you cannot find the information you need elsewhere, call Toshiba at: (800) 457-7777. In addition, Toshiba's recycling initiatives include recycling programs, events, and consumer promotions.
