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 cameras, and constitute a safety hazard. Counterfeit and/or inferior-quality batteries that cause damage to your Arlo 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 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 cameras. Rechargeable Battery Warning Arlo 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 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 cameras, as they may pose a fire or burn hazard. They may also damage your camera. 67
