Battery charger
This battery charger operates on AC between 110 V and 240 V.
But
• In the U.S.A. and Canada, the battery charger must be connected to a 120 V
AC power supply only.
• When connecting to an AC supply outside of the U.S.A. or Canada, use a
plug adaptor to suit the AC outlet configuration.
∫ Cautions for Use
• Always use a genuine Panasonic AC adaptor (DMW-AC5PP; optional).
• Do not use any other AV cables except the supplied one.
• Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one.
Keep the camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic
equipment (such as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).
• If you use the camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the
camera may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.
• Do not use the camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise
adversely affecting the pictures and sound.
• Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong
magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors.
• Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely
affect the camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.
• If the camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops
functioning properly, turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect
AC adaptor (DMW-AC5PP; optional). Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC
adaptor and turn the camera on.
Do not use the camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.
• If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures
and sound may be adversely affected.

∫ About batteries that you can use with this unit
Supplied battery or dedicated optional batteries (DMW-BCF10PP) can be
used with this unit.
It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar

Some of these battery packs are not adequately protected 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 would recommend that a genuine
Panasonic battery pack is used.
• Use the dedicated charger and battery.
• The camera has a function for distinguishing batteries which can be used
safely. The dedicated battery [the supplied battery or DMW-BCF10PP
(optional)] supports this function. The only batteries suitable for use with
this unit are genuine Panasonic products and batteries manufactured by
other companies and certified by Panasonic. (Batteries which do not
support this function cannot be used). Panasonic cannot in any way
guarantee the quality, performance or safety of batteries which have been
manufactured by other companies and are not genuine Panasonic
products.
