Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium
Batteries Must Be Recycled or

• Through the RBRC® program, Uniden makes it easy 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-
