Notice about Handset batteries
The RBRC Battery Recycling Seal on the Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) 
battery pack indicates that Home Wireless Networks is voluntarily 
participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these 
batteries at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service 
within the United States or Canada. The RBRC program provides a 
convenient alternative to placing spent Ni-Cd batteries into the 
trash or municipal waste streams, which is illegal in some areas.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd recycling in 
your area. Home Wireless Networks’ involvement in this program 
is part of our committment to protecting and conserving our natural 
resources.
