■About batteries that you can use with this unit

It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the

genuine products are made available to purchase in some markets. Some of

these battery packs are not adequately provided with internal protection to

meet the requirements of appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility

that these battery packs may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised that

we are not liable for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a

counterfeit battery pack. To ensure that safe products are used we recommend

that a genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.
