This product is powered by a nickel-cadmium
rechargeable battery. At the end of its useful life, the

not be available in all areas. Under various state or local
laws, the battery must be recycled or disposed of properly,
and cannot be disposed of in landfills or incinerators.
In addition, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) regulations classify used nickel-cadmium batteries
as hazardous waste, unless certain exemptions apply.

Consideration should be given to the methods of
collecting, labeling, and shipping used nickel-cadmium
batteries. Your federal, state, or local EPA should be
consulted for specific requirements and for recycling
options in your area.
