Warning: Only remove the rechargeable battery when disposing of the device. Make sure that the battery is completely discharged before removing it.

You will need a Phillips screwdriver and a flat-head screwdriver to remove the rechargeable battery. Observe basic safety precautions when following the steps below. Protect your eyes, hands and fingers, as well as the surface you are working on.

Be aware of the risk of injury from parts breaking off and/or flying out during removal. Wear safety goggles.

  1. To discharge the battery completely, remove the device from the base station, switch it on and let it run until it enters standby mode. Repeat this process until you can no longer switch the device on.
  2. Use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the rear speaker cover by inserting the screwdriver between the surrounding rubber cover and the fabric-covered speaker cover. Then push the screwdriver away from the housing to release the speaker cover. If necessary, repeat this at several points around the cover to release it.
  3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to undo the two screws on the battery cover.
  4. Carefully pull the battery out of the housing using the connector cable.
  5. Disconnect both visible connectors.
  6. Cover the battery contacts with adhesive tape to prevent short circuits caused by any remaining battery charge. The rechargeable battery and the rest of the product can now be recycled and disposed of properly.
