Arlo non-rechargeable batteries can only be used with the original Arlo Wire-Free camera (VMC3030). For all other wire-free cameras, visit Safety Rules for Arlo Rechargeable Batteries.

For the best possible experience, Arlo strongly recommends using one of the following types of batteries:

• The non-rechargeable batteries supplied with your Arlo Wire-Free cameras
• Tenergy Li-Ion RCR123A 3.7V 650mAh rechargeable batteries specifically marked “Works with Arlo”
• Non-rechargeable batteries from other high quality, established, well-known manufacturers such as Panasonic®, Energizer®, or Duracell®

Arlo strongly recommends that you read the Arlo Safety and Compliance Information document prior to using your Arlo devices.

Poor quality or mishandled batteries can damage your devices, cause a fire or result in personal injury. Arlo is not responsible for any failure to follow these battery usage guidelines or the Arlo Safety and Compliance Information document.

To use your non-rechargeable batteries safely:

• ALWAYS use high-quality batteries from reputable sources and brands. Counterfeit or inferior-quality batteries can damage your devices, cause a fire, or result in personal injury.
• ALWAYS keep all batteries away from children.
• ALWAYS store spare batteries in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
• ALWAYS replace all the batteries in a given device at the same time, and with batteries of the same type purchased together from the same source.
• ALWAYS make sure that the battery compartment is clean and free of any debris before inserting new batteries.
• ALWAYS insert your batteries into their slots gently.
• ALWAYS make sure that each battery's polarity (its positive and negative ends) matches the polarity of its individual slot. You'll find a guide inside the battery compartment.
• ALWAYS insert the first pair of batteries near the back of the camera, then insert the second pair of batteries near the compartment hinge. (VMC3030)
• ALWAYS follow local waste and recycling laws when throwing used batteries away.
• NEVER try to recharge the single-use batteries that came with your Arlo device as they are non-rechargeable.
• NEVER attempt to recharge a single-use (non-rechargeable) battery.
• NEVER place loose batteries in a pocket, purse, or other receptacle, especially one containing metal objects.
• NEVER store your batteries with hazardous or combustible materials.
• NEVER let your batteries or battery compartment get wet—before, during, or after installation.
  VMC3030: While your camera itself is weatherproof when the battery compartment door is closed, its interior battery compartment and batteries are not waterproof!
• NEVER disassemble, cut, crush, puncture, short-circuit, dispose of in fire or water, or expose your batteries to temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
