Recommendation for Use of Genuine Panasonic Battery  
(Rechargeable Battery)  
Thank you for using a Panasonic product.  
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.  
Be aware that many batteries sold at extremely cheap prices or in situations where it is difficult to  
verify the actual products before purchase have proven to be counterfeit.
