About batteries that you can use with this unit
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 protectio\
n to 
meet the requirements of appropriate safety standards. There is a possib\
ility 
that these battery packs may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advise\
d that 
we are not liable for any accident or failure occurring as a result of u\
se of a 
counterfeit battery pack. To ensure that safe products are used we recommend 
that a genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.
