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.

Charging the Battery  
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  
to the genuine product are made available to purchase in some markets.  
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.
