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.

the status indicator goes off. Then remove 
the battery while supporting the unit to
