Battery Disposal

For disposal, nickel-cadmium sealed rechargeable batteries should be
delivered to an authorized metals-reclamation dealer.
Alkaline batteries and nickel-metal-hydride batteries, although they contain no
designated toxic metals, are recommended to be disposed of through an
authorized metals-reclamation dealer.
Do not dispose of any batteries in a fire as they may explode!
This product is powered by an alkaline battery or a nickel-cadmium
rechargeable battery. At the end of its useful life, the battery can be recycled.
However, recycling facilities may 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.
Motorola fully endorses and encourages the recycling of nickel-cadmium
batteries. If you are located in the United States, you can ship, postpaid, your
used Motorola nickel-cadmium batteries to INMETCO, an EPA-approved recycling
facility, at the address given on the next page. We recommend used batteries be
sent to the nickel-cadmium recycling facility most convenient for you. If you are not
located in the United States, you may ship your used Motorola nickel-cadmium
batteries to one of the nearest international locations listed on the next page.
Should you have any questions, contact the facility first.
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.
Motorola, as a responsible corporate citizen, has always been concerned
with the protection of the environment. For further information, you may call the
