Certification and Compliance
MENU
See Camcorder for the certification and compliance mark specific to that device.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
≥ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
≥ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
≥ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
≥ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution:To assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation
instructions and use only shielded interface cables with ferrite
core when connecting to computer or peripheral devices.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user ’s authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC CAUTION
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.
This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that is deemed to comply without testing of
specific absorption rate (SAR).
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN CANADA.
Contains IC: 772C-LBVX604
This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt
RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with
using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless
devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating
effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have
not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects
might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. HC-WXF1/
HC-VX1/HC-V800 has been tested and found to comply with IC radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure rules.

Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of
problems that result in loss of recording or edited content, and does not guarantee any content if
recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a case where any
type of repair is made to the unit.
∫ About Condensation
(When the lens, the viewfinder
Condensation occurs when there is a change in temperature or humidity, such as when the unit is
taken from outside or a cold room to a warm room. Please be careful, as it may cause the lens, the
viewfinder or LCD monitor to become soiled, moldy, or damaged.
When taking the unit to a place which has a different temperature, if the unit is accustomed to the
room temperature of the destination for about one hour, condensation can be prevented. (When the
difference in temperature is severe, place the unit in a plastic bag or the like, remove air from the
bag, and seal the bag.)
When condensation has occurred, remove the battery and/or the AC adapter and leave the unit like
that for about one hour. When the unit becomes accustomed to the surrounding temperature,
fogginess will disappear naturally.

∫ About batteries that you can use with this unit
The battery that can be used with this unit is VW-VBT190/VW-VBT380.
≥ The unit has a function for distinguishing batteries which can be used safely. The
dedicated battery (VW-VBT190/VW-VBT380) supports this function. The only batteries
suitable for use with this unit are genuine Panasonic products and batteries manufactured
by other companies and certified by Panasonic. Panasonic cannot in any way guarantee
the quality, performance or safety of batteries which have been manufactured by other
companies and are not genuine Panasonic products.
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.
Inserting/removing the battery
≥ Press the power button to turn off the unit. (l 20)
Install the battery by inserting it in the direction shown in the figure.
Removing the battery
Be sure to hold down the power button until the

Charging the battery
When this unit is purchased, the battery is not charged. Charge the battery fully before
using this unit for the first time.
The unit is in the standby condition when the AC adaptor is connected. The primary circuit is always
“live” as long as the AC adaptor is connected to an electrical outlet.
Important:
≥ Do not use the AC adaptor/DC cable with any other equipment as it is designed only for
this unit. Also, do not use the AC adaptor/DC cable from other equipment with this unit.
≥ The battery will not be charged if the unit is turned on.
≥ It is recommended to charge the battery in a temperature between 10 oC and 30 oC (50 oF

1 second on, approximately 1 second off), indicating that charging has begun.
It will turn off when the charging is completed. (l 20)
∫ Connecting to the AC outlet
It is possible to use this unit with power supplied from the AC outlet by turning on the unit with the
AC adaptor connected.
Even when you use the AC adaptor for recording images, keep the battery connected.
This allows you to continue the recording even if a power failure occurs or the AC adaptor is
unplugged from the AC outlet by accident.
∫ To charge by connecting to other device
It is possible to charge by connecting to other device with the USB cable (supplied).
