Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium Battery Warning

This equipment contains a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery.

Cadmium is a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer.

The rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery contained in this equipment may explode if disposed of in a fire.

Do not short-circuit the battery.

Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium

Batteries Must Be Recycled or

Disposed of 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 within the United States.

The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing used nickel-cadmium batteries into the trash or municipal waste stream, which is illegal in some areas.

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- 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.

RBRC® is a registered trademark of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.
