Recycling of Nickel-Cadmium Batteries
Nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) rechargeable
batteries can be recycled. However, recycling
facilities may not be available in all areas.
Under various U.S. state laws and the laws of
several other countries, Ni-Cd batteries must
be recycled or disposed of properly and cannot
be disposed of in landfills or incinerators.
Contact your local waste management agency
for specific requirements and information in
your area.
Motorola fully endorses and encourages the
recycling of Ni-Cd batteries. In the U.S. and
Canada, Motorola participates in the
nationwide Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation (RBRC) program for Ni-Cd battery
collection and recycling. Many retailers and
dealers participate in this program.
For the location of the drop-off facility closest to
you, access RBRC's Internet website at
www.rbrc.com or call 1-800-8-BATTERY. This
internet site and telephone number also
provide other useful information concerning
recycling options for consumers, businesses,
and governmental agencies.
INTRINSICALLY SAFE RADIO INFORMATION
FMRC Approved Equipment
Anyone intending to use a radio in a location
where hazardous concentrations of flammable
material exist (hazardous atmosphere) is advised
to become familiar with the subject of intrinsic
safety and with the National Electric Code NFPA
70 (National Fire Protection Association) Article
500 (hazardous [classified] locations).
An Approval Guide, issued by Factory Mutual
Research Corporation (FMRC), lists
manufacturers and the products approved by
FMRC for use in such locations. FMRC has
also issued a voluntary approval standard for
repair service (“Class Number 3605”).
FMRC Approval labels are attached to the
radio to identify the unit as being FM Approved
for specified hazardous atmospheres. This
label specifies the hazardous Class/Division/
Group along with the part number of the
battery that must be used. Depending on the
design of the portable unit, this FM label can
be found on the back or the bottom of the radio
