Properly
• Uniden voluntarily participates in an RBRC ® industry
program to collect and recycle nickel-cadmium batteries
at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service

for you to drop off the used battery at local retailers of
replacement nickel-cadmium batteries. You may also
contact your local recycling center for information on
where to return the used battery. Please call 1-800-8-
BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling in
your area. Uniden's involvement in this program is part
of its commitment to protecting our environment and
conserving natural resources.
