About batteries that you can use with this unit
The battery that can be used with this unit is VW-VBN130/VW-VBN260.
The unit has a function for distinguishing batteries which can be used safely. The
dedicated battery (VW-VBN130/VW-VBN260) 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.
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.
Removing the battery
Be sure to hold down the power button until
the status indicator goes off. Then remove
the battery while supporting the unit to
prevent it from dropping.
Move the battery release lever in the
direction indicated by the arrow and
remove the battery when unlocked.
