States. The RBRCTM Seal on our battery pack contained in our product indicates that SHARP is
voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries. The RBRCTM
program provides you with a convenient alternative to placing spent Nickel-Cadmium battery packs into
the trash or municipal waste stream, which is illegal in some areas. At the end of their useful life, the
Nickel-Cadmium battery can be dropped off at the nearest collection center
for
recycling. For information
on the nearest collection center, call 1-800-8-BATTERY or your local recycling center. If you are located
outside the United States, contact your local authorities for information concerning proper disposal and/

our environment and conserving natural resources.
