About the battery charger
CAUTION!
DO NOT INSTALL OR PLACE THIS UNIT IN A BOOKCASE, BUILT-
IN CABINET OR IN ANOTHER CONFINED SPACE. ENSURE THE
UNIT IS WELL VENTILATED. TO PREVENT RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD DUE TO OVERHEATING, ENSURE
THAT CURTAINS AND ANY OTHER MATERIALS DO NOT
OBSTRUCT THE VENTILATION VENTS.
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
Do not use any other AV cables except the supplied one.
Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one.
Do not use any other cables except a genuine Panasonic HDMI mini cable (RP-
CDHM15/RP-CDHM30; optional).
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 battery
About batteries that you can use with this unit
The battery that can be used with this unit is DMW-BCG10PP.
It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very
similar to the genuine products 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 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 (DMW-BCG10PP) 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.
The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge
the battery and set the Clock before use.
Charge the battery with the charger indoors (10 °C - 35 °C (50 °F -
95 °F)).
