Getting Started – Charging the Battery
56
• We recommend that genuine Panasonic batteries are used.
There is a possibility that the use of non-genuine batteries can cause 
accidents or malfunctions that may lead to fire or explosion.
Please be advised that we are not liable for any accident or failure resulting 
from the use of non-genuine batteries.
• 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.
• Do not use the AC adaptor or USB connection cable on other devices.
This may cause a malfunction.
• Do not use USB extension cables or USB conversion adaptors.
• The battery can be charged 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.
(Since characteristic swelling may occur.)
• If there is a power outage or other problem with the electrical outlet, then 
charging may not complete successfully.
Reconnect the power plug.
• Do not connect to keyboard or printer USB ports, or to USB hubs.
• If the connected PC enters sleep status, then charging/power supply may stop.
• If the battery indication does not go to [ ] even when charging is complete, 
the battery may be deteriorating.
Try not to use that battery.
