1 To deplete the rechargeable battery of any charge, remove the
handle from the charger, turn on the Philips Sonicare and let it run
until it stops. Repeat this step until you can no longer turn on the
Philips Sonicare.
2 Remove and discard the brush head. Cover the entire handle with
a towel or cloth (Fig. 15).
3 Hold the top of the handle with one hand and strike the handle
housing 0.5 inch above the bottom end. Strike firmly with a
hammer on all 4 sides to eject the end cap (Fig. 16).
Note: You may have to hit on the end several times to break the
internal snap connections.
4 Remove the end cap from the toothbrush handle. If the end cap
does not release easily from the housing, repeat step 3 until the
end cap is released (Fig. 17).
5 Holding the handle upside down, press the shaft down on a hard
surface. If the internal components do not easily release from the
housing, repeat step 3 until the internal components are released
(Fig. 18).
6 Remove the rubber battery cover.
7 Wedge the screwdriver between the battery and the black frame
at the bottom of the internal components. Then pry the
screwdriver away from the battery to break the bottom of the
black frame (Fig. 19).
8 Insert the screwdriver between the bottom of the battery and the
black frame to break the metal tab connecting the battery to the
green printed circuit board. This will release the bottom end of the
battery from the frame (Fig. 20).
9 Grab the battery and pull it away from the internal components to
break the second metal battery tab (Fig. 21).
Caution: Be aware of the sharp edges of the battery tabs so as to
avoid injury to your fingers.
10 Cover the battery contacts with tape to prevent any electrical short
from residual battery charge. The rechargeable battery can now be
recycled and the rest of the product discarded appropriately (Fig.
22).
