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 materials that could cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly.
Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the services of the rechargeable
Battery recycling Corporation (rBrC)**, a non-profit public service organization dedicated to protecting
our environment by recycling old batteries at no cost to you.
rBrC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of locations 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 cooperative 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.
