Battery Recycling (for U.S.A.)
The RBRC SEAL on the (easily removable) nickel-cadmium battery
and nickel-metal-hydride battery contained in Futaba products indicates
that Futaba Corporation of America is voluntarily participating in an in-
dustry 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 program provides a convenient alternative to placing used nickel-cadmium
batteries and nickel-metal-hydride batteries into the trash or municipal waste system,
which is illegal in some areas.
You may contact your local recycling center for information on where to return the
spent battery. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd / Mi-MH bat-
tery recycling in your area. Futaba Corporation of America's involvement in this pro-
gram is part of its commitment to protecting our environment and conserving natural
resources.
NOTE:
Our instruction manuals encourage our customers to return spent batteries to
a local recycling center in order to keep a healthy environment.
