∫About the battery charger
• The battery charger is in the standby condition when the AC power supply cord is connected. The
primary circuit is always “live” as long as the power cord is connected to an electrical outlet.
∫Cautions for Use
• When using an AC adaptor, use the AC cable supplied with the AC adaptor.
• Do not use any other AV cables except the supplied one.
• Do not use any other cables except a genuine Panasonic HDMI mini cable (RP-CDHM15,
RP-CDHM30; optional).
Part numbers: RP-CDHM15 (1.5 m), RP-CDHM30 (3.0 m)
• Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one.
Keep the camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as
microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).
• If you use the camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the camera may be
disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.
• Do not use the camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely
affecting the pictures and sound.
• Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields
created by speakers or large motors.
• Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect the
camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.
• If the camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning
properly, turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor (DMW-AC7G;
optional). Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the camera on.
Do not use the camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.
• If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and sound may
be adversely affected.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT INSTALL OR PLACE THIS UNIT IN A BOOKCASE, BUILT-IN CABINET OR IN
ANOTHER CONFINED SPACE. ENSURE THE UNIT IS WELL VENTILATED. TO PREVENT
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD DUE TO OVERHEATING, ENSURE THAT
CURTAINS AND ANY OTHER MATERIALS DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE VENTILATION VENTS.

• Do not strongly shake or bump the camera by dropping or hitting it. Do not subject to
strong pressure.
The camera may malfunction, recording pictures may become impossible, or the lens, the LCD
monitor or the external case may be damaged.
• Do not touch the lens or the sockets with dirty hands. Also, be careful not to allow

camera or the repair service centre.
∫About Condensation (When the lens or the Viewfinder is fogged up)
• Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Be careful of
condensation since it causes lens stains, fungus and camera malfunction.
• If condensation occurs, turn the camera off and leave it for about 2 hours. The fog will
disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the ambient
temperature.

Charging the Battery
∫About batteries that you can use with this unit
The battery that can be used with this unit is CGR-S006E.
•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. (The battery temperature should
also be the same.)
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.
Attach the battery with
attention to the direction of the
battery.
Connect the AC cable.
•The AC cable does not fit entirely into
the AC input terminal. A gap will remain
as shown on the right.
•Charging starts when the [CHARGE]
indicator Alights green.
•Charging is complete when the
[CHARGE] indicator Aturns off.
Detach the battery after
charging is completed.

∫Charging
•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 may be warm after use, during charging, immediately after charging etc. 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. (Since characteristic swelling may occur.)
•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.
