General notes and information
Handling of accessories
How do I return the accessories of the devices correctly?
- All accessories that were included in the scope of delivery (e.g. power adapters, mice, keyboards, cables, etc.) are an integral part of the device and must therefore be returned together with the device.
- Sort devices and accessories by device or accessory category and provide them packed in boxes.
- Small quantities of accessories can also be packed together in a common box.
- Label each box clearly visible from the outside with its contents and number of pieces (e.g. 25 x USB keyboards, 30 x notebook power supplies).
- The packaging and labelling of all equipment, boxes and pallets must be carried out in accordance with the currently valid Dangerous Goods Regulations (ADR)
Handling of batteries
How do I return loose batteries correctly?
- Loose batteries – i.e. batteries that are not permanently installed in the device – must be registered separately in advance. The corresponding cartons must be marked in accordance with the currently applicable ADR regulations.
- Pack batteries without the original packaging so that the contact terminals are completely and securely taped off.
- Batteries in their original packaging or individually wrapped batteries do not require additional masking.
- Place the batteries in the boxes so that they cannot slip.
⚠️ Defective rechargeable batteries or batteries may not be returned and must be disposed of independently and professionally by the sender.
A battery is considered damaged if one or more of the following characteristics are present:
- Significant damage to the housing
- Thermal deformations, e.g. melted connection cables or warped housing
- Heat generation when switched off (not during use or charging)
- Leakage of liquids
- Leakage of gases
