The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC® Seal on the (easily

battery (contained in our product)
indicates that VTech Communica-
tions, INC. 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 and Canada.
The RBRC® program provides a convenient
alternative to placing used nickel-cadmium
batteries into the trash or municipal waste, which
may be illegal in your areas.
VTech’s payments to RBRC® make it easy for you
to drop off the spent battery at local retailers
participating in the RBRC® program or at
authorized VTech product service centers. Please
call 1-800-8-BATTERY™ for information on Ni-Cd
