The RBRC Seal
The RBRC Seal on the (easily removable) Nickel-Cadmium battery (contained in your
product) indicates that Audiovox Communications Corp. (Audiovox) is voluntarily participating
in an industry 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 into the trash or municipal
waste, which is illegal in some areas.
Audivox’s participation in RBRC makes it easy for you to drop off the spent battery at local
retailers of replacement Nickel-Cadmium batteries, or at authorized AUDIOVOX’s product
service centers. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to
return the spent battery. Please call 1-800-8BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd battery
recycling in your area. AUDIOVOX’s involvement in this program is part of its commitment in
protecting our environment and conserving natural resources.
