Recycling your battery

Over time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for a shorter amount of time; this is a natural occurrence for all batteries. When this occurs, you may want to replace the battery with a fresh one*. If you replace it, it is important that you dispose of the old battery properly because batteries contain materials that could cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly.

Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the services of the Re chargeable 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-of f points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the United States and Canada. To ﬁ nd the location nearest you, go to ww w.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 ef fort, and you should make every effor t 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 par ty to which Fujitsu provides funding for bat tery recycling; RBRC is in no way af ﬁ liated with Fujitsu.
