• About batteries that you can use with this unit

It has been found that counterieit 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 counterieit battery pack. To ensure that safe products are
used we would recommend that a genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.

The dedicated battery (DMW-BCF10PP) supports this function. The only batteries

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.
