Disposal of Timer
It is illegal in many states and environmentally undesirable to dispose of the Timer Unit
containing the battery in municipal trash. A fee has been paid to the Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation (RBRC) to collect these batteries and recycle them rather than incinerate
or bury them. For information on our battery recycling program, call our toll-free consumer
assistance number 1-800-231-9786 or call RBRC at 1-800-822-8837 for instructions on proper
disposal.
