used nickel-cadmium batteries into the trash or
municipal waste stream, which is illegal in
some areas.

program, Uniden makes
it easy for you to drop off the used battery at
local retailers of replacement nickel-cadmium
batteries. You may also contact your local
recycling center for information on where to
return the used battery.
