Charging the Battery

∫ About batteries that you can use with this unit

The battery that can be used with this unit is CGR-S006A.

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 quality, performance and safety of third party batteries other than those that are genuine are not guaranteed.

• 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 a temperature between 10 oC to 35 oC (50 oF to 95 oF). (The battery temperature should also be the same.)

Attach the battery paying attention to the direction of the battery.

Connect the charger to the electrical outlet.

• Charging starts when the [CHARGE] indicator A lights green.

• Charging is complete when the

[CHARGE] indicator A turns off.

90°

Detach the battery after charging is completed.

(ENG) VQT2G40

Preparation

∫ Charging

Charging time Approx. 120 min

• The indicated charging time is for when the battery has been discharged completely.

The charging time may vary depending on how the battery has been used. The charging time for the battery in hot/cold environments or a battery that has not been used for long time may be longer than normal.

Note

• After charging is completed, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical outlet.

• The battery becomes warm after using it and during and after charging. The camera also becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.

• The battery will become discharged if left for a long period of time after being charged.

• The battery can be recharged even when it still has some charge left, but it is not recommended that the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully charged. (The battery has characteristics that will reduce its operating duration and cause the battery to swell up.)

• When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging the battery, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery.

• Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug.

Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the resulting heat generated.
