Use the camera as a wireless LAN device
When using equipment or computer systems that require more reliable security than wireless 
LAN devices, ensure that the appropriate measures are taken for safety designs and defects 
for the systems used. Panasonic will not take any responsibility for any damage that arises 
when using the camera for any purpose other than as a wireless LAN device.
Use of the Wi-Fi function of this camera is presumed to be in countries where this 
camera is sold
There is the risk that the camera violates the radiowave regulations if used in countries other 
than those where this camera is sold, and Panasonic takes no responsibility for any violations.
There is the risk that data sent and received via radio waves may be intercepted
Please note that there is the risk that data sent and received via radio waves may be 
intercepted by a third party.
We strongly recommend that you set an encryption to maintain information security.
Do not use the camera in areas with magnetic fields, static electricity or interference
Do not use the camera in areas with magnetic fields, static electricity or interference, such as near 
microwave ovens. These may cause the interruption of the radio waves.
Using the camera near devices such as microwave ovens or cordless telephones that use the 
2.4 GHz radio wave band may cause a decrease in performance in both devices.
Do not connect to the wireless network you are not authorised to use
When the camera utilises its Wi-Fi function, wireless networks will be searched automatically. 
When this happens, wireless networks that you are not authorised to use (SSID
¢
) may be 
displayed, however do not attempt to connect to the network as it may be considered as 
unauthorised access.
¢ SSID refers to the name that is used to identify a network over a wireless LAN connection. If the 
SSID matches for both devices, transmission is possible.
Before Use
To use the Wi-Fi function on this unit, a wireless access point or a destination device equipped with 
the wireless LAN function is required.
Use a IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g or IEEE802.11n compatible device when using a wireless access 
point.
The camera cannot be used to connect to a public wireless LAN connection.
It is recommended to use a fully charged battery when sending images.
When the battery indicator is flashing red, the connection with other equipment may not start or the 
connection may be disrupted.
(A message such as [Communication error] is displayed.)
