Charging the Battery
About batteries that you can use with this unit
Use the dedicated charger and battery.
The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge the battery before use.
Charge the battery with the charger indoors.
Charge the battery in areas with an ambient temperature between 10
oC and 30 o
 (50 
oF and 86 oF) (same as the battery temperature) is recommended.
It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the 
genuine product are made available for 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 recommend that a genuine Panasonic battery 
pack is used.
