Charging the battery

■About batteries that you can use with this unit

The battery that can be used with this unit is DMW-BCH7E.

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-BCH7E) 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).

Insert the battery terminals and attach

the battery to the charger

Ensure [LUMIX] faces outwards.
