Safe Battery Handling and Usage
Batteries can EXPLODE, CATCH FIRE, and/or CAUSE BURNS if disassembled, punctured,
cut, crushed, short-circuited, incinerated, recharged (disposable cells), or exposed to
water, fire, or high temperatures. To ensure optimal safety and performance:
• Use only batteries that contain built-in fault and heat protection.
• DO NOT use counterfeit or inferior-quality batteries in Arlo cameras. Use only the
batteries supplied by NETGEAR, or high-quality batteries from, established, well-
known manufacturers, such as Panasonic
®
, Energizer
®
, or Duracell
®
.
• DO NOT use rechargeable batteries.
• DO NOT place loose batteries in a pocket, purse, or other receptacle containing
metal objects.
• DO NOT store batteries with hazardous or combustible material; store in a cool,
dry, ventilated area.
• While your Arlo camera is weatherproof and safe to use outside, DO NOT allow the
batteries or battery compartment to get wet prior to or during installation.
• ALWAYS keep batteries away from children.
• REPLACE ALL batteries at the same time with batteries of the same type
purchased at the same time from the same manufacturer and DO NOT load
batteries backwards. MAKE SURE the battery compartment is empty and free of
any loose debris before inserting batteries. Follow the directions in the quick start
guide and/or written on the Arlo camera.
• Follow local guidelines to dispose of used batteries.
To the extent permissible by applicable law, failure to follow these warnings
and/or directions could result in damage to your Arlo cameras that will not be
covered by NETGEAR’s warranty.
