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 recommend that a genuine Panasonic
battery pack is used.
