RECYCLING YOUR BATTERY

Over time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for a shorter amount of time; this is a natural occurrence for all batteries. When this occurs, you may want to replace the battery with a fresh one*. If you replace it, it is important that you dispose of the old battery properly because batteries contain mate- rials that could cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly.

Fujitsu is very concerned with envi- ronmental protection, and has enlisted the services of the Recharge- able Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC)**, a non-profit public service organization dedicated to protecting our environment by recy-

cling old batteries at no cost to you.

RBRC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of loca- tions throughout the United States and Canada. To find the location nearest you, go to www.RBRC.org or call 1- 800-822-8837.

If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you can also go to the EIA Consumer Education Initiative website (http://EIAE.org/) and search for a convenient disposal location.

Remember – protecting the environment is a coopera- tive effort, and you should make every effort to protect it for current and future generations.

*To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile computer, go to the Fujitsu shopping site at www.shopfujitsu.com in the US or www.fujitsu.ca/ products/notebooks in Canada.

**RBRC is an independent third party to which Fujitsu

provides funding for battery recycling; RBRC is in no way affiliated with Fujitsu.
