FCC Note: 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: Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the user’s authority to operate this device. 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.
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.

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. DC-BGH1 (HMN is 1JS2005) has been tested and found to comply with ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. |
About the battery pack
Always use genuine Panasonic batteries (AG-VBR59, AG-VBR89, AG-VBR118).
If you use other batteries, we cannot guarantee the quality of this product.
|
CAUTION Battery pack (Lithium ion battery pack) Use the specified unit to recharge the battery pack. Do not use the battery pack with equipment other than the specified unit. Do not get dirt, sand, liquids, or other foreign matter on the terminals. Do not touch the plug terminals (+ and –) with metal objects. Do not disassemble, remodel, heat or throw into fire. If any electrolyte should come into contact with your hands or clothes, wash it off thoroughly with water. If any electrolyte should come into contact with your eyes, never rub the eyes. Rinse eyes thoroughly with water, and then consult a doctor. |
|
CAUTION Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the type recommended by the manufacturer. When disposing of the batteries, please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal. |
Do not heat or expose to flame.
Do not leave the battery(ies) in a car exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time with doors and windows closed.
Do not expose to low air pressure at high altitudes.
Do not expose to extremely low air pressure, as this may result in explosions or leakage of flammable liquids and gases.
|
Warning Risk of fire, explosion and burns. Do not disassemble, heat above 60 °C (140 °F) or incinerate. |
About the AC adaptor (supplied)
|
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or product damage, Do not install or place this unit in a bookcase, built-in cabinet or in another confined space. Ensure this unit is well ventilated. |
|
AC adaptor This AC adaptor operates on AC between 100 V and 240 V. But In the U.S.A. and Canada, the AC adaptor must be connected to a 120 V AC power supply only. When connecting to an AC supply outside of the U.S.A. or Canada, use a plug adaptor to suit the AC outlet configuration. When connecting to a supply of greater than AC 125 V, ensure the cord you use is suited to the voltage of the AC supply and the rated current of the AC adaptor. Contact an electrical parts distributor for assistance in selecting a suitable AC plug adaptor or AC cord set. |
Cautions for Use
Do not use any other AC cables except the supplied one.
Use a high speed HDMI cable (Type A - Type A plug) that is compatible with 4K and has an HDMI logo.
For the USB connection cable, use one that is a shielded product with a ferrite core compliant to USB Type C (USB3.1) that is less than 1.5 m (4.9 feet).
When connecting a BNC cable to the [GENLOCK IN] terminal or [TC IN/OUT] terminal, use one that is less than 2.8 m (9.1 feet). It is recommended to use a double shielded BNC cable equivalent to 5C-FB.
For the cable that connects to the LAN terminal, use the one below.
LAN cable (STP (Shielded Twisted Pair), category 5e or above, maximum 100 m (328 feet))
Do not use the Headphone cables with the length of 3 m (9.8 feet) or more.
