10. Battery Warnings and Safety
Counterfeit and Inferior-Quality Battery Warning
Do not use counterfeit and/or inferior-quality lithium batteries. Such batteries can
develop internal shorts and may pose a fire or burn hazard.
Avoid purchasing batteries from online auction and other marketplace websites, as
these are known sources of counterfeit and/or inferior-quality batteries.
The use of counterfeit and/or inferior-quality batteries could greatly reduce runtime
and output performance, damage your Arlo Wire-Free cameras, and constitute a
safety hazard.
Counterfeit and/or inferior-quality batteries that cause damage to your Arlo Wire-
Free camera may void the warranty.
Counterfeit and inferior-quality batteries lack built-in fault and heat protection,
which superior quality batteries contain for added safety.
For these reasons, NETGEAR recommends that you use the batteries supplied by
NETGEAR with your Arlo Wire-Free cameras, or high-quality batteries from other,
established, well-known manufacturers such as Panasonic
®
, Energizer
®
, or Duracell
®
.
Arlo performance claims are based on the use of batteries that initially ship
with Arlo Wire-Free cameras.
Rechargeable Battery Warning
Arlo Wire-Free cameras have been designed for use with primary, non-rechargeable
batteries. For the best possible Arlo experience, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND
using the non-rechargeable batteries supplied with your Arlo Wire-Free cameras,
or non-rechargeable high-quality batteries from other, established, well-known
manufacturers such as Panasonic
®
, Energizer
®
, or Duracell
®
.
Because many rechargeable batteries on the market are counterfeits or of inferior
quality, WE STRONGLY DISCOURAGE the use of any rechargeable batteries with
your Arlo Wire-Free cameras, as they may pose a fire or burn hazard. They may also
damage your camera.
