Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the services of the Rechargeable
Batter y Recycling Corporation ( RBRC )**, a non-profi t 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 fi nd 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 effor t, and you should make eve ry 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 part y to which Fujitsu provides funding for battery recycling;
RBRC is in no way affi liated with Fujitsu.
