5.  BATTERY WARNINGS AND SAFETY
Counterfeit & 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 batteries from other high quality, 
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 batteries from other high quality, 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.
 WARNING: Using substandard or rechargeable batteries can cause 
injury or property damage.
