Preparation The RBRC TM Seal
The RBRC TM Seal on the (easily removable) nickel-cadmium battery
(contained in our product) indicates that Toshiba America Consumer
Products, Inc. (TACP) is voluntarily participating in an industry program
to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful lives,
when taken out of service within the United States. The RBRC
TM
program provides a convenient alternative to placing used nickel-
cadmium batteries into the trash or municipal waste, which is illegal in some areas.
TACP’s payments to RBRC
TM make it easy for you to drop off the spent battery at
local retailers of replacement nickel-cadmium batteries, or at authorized TACP product
service centers. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on
where to return the spent battery. Please call 1-800-8-BATTER for information on Ni-
Cd battery recycling in your area. TACP’s involvement in this program is part of its
commitment to protecting our environment and conserving natural resources.
