S Important: Nickel-cadmium batteries contain metals which
are hazardous when released to the environment. It is
inappropriate, and in some cases unlawful, to throw batteries
away with your household or business trash. Instead of
throwing away your spent batteries, dispose of them as
described here.
In the United States: Return spent batteries to your
authorized Apple service provider, who will make sure they
are included in Apple's battery recycling program.
Elsewhere: Many locations have government or Apple-
sponsored collection and/or recycling programs for spent
batteries. Dispose of spent batteries in accordance with the
mandatory or voluntary battery collection schemes in your
location. Contact your authorized Apple service provider for
information about the recommended battery disposal
procedures in your area.

s Warning: Damaged nickel-cadmium batteries may leak
small amounts of potassium hydroxide. This substance can
cause severe burns to the skin and eyes. If you touch a
damaged battery, immediately wash your hands and any
other affected areas with water for at least five minutes.
Do not use soap.
