Limited Warranty Coverage (For USA and Puerto Rico Only)

If your product does not work properly because of a defect in materials or 
workmanship, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company (referred to as 
“the warrantor”) will, for the length of the period indicated on the chart 
below, which starts with the date of original purchase (“warranty period”), 
at its option either (a) repair your product with new or refurbished parts, 
(b) replace it with a new or a refurbished equivalent value product, or (c) 
refund your purchase price. The decision to repair, replace or refund will 
be made by the warrantor.

During the “Labor” warranty period there will be no charge for labor. 
During the “Parts” warranty period, there will be no charge for parts. This 
Limited Warranty excludes both parts and labor for non-rechargeable 
batteries, antennas, and cosmetic parts (cabinet). This warranty only 
applies to products purchased and serviced in the United States or Puerto 
Rico. This warranty is extended only to the original purchaser of a new 
product which was not sold “as is”.

PAID AND PLACE OF PURCHASE. CUSTOMER WILL BE CHARGED 
FOR THE REPAIR OF ANY UNIT RECEIVED WITHOUT SUCH PROOF

Limited Warranty Limits And Exclusions

This warranty ONLY COVERS failures due to defects in materials or 
workmanship, and DOES NOT COVER normal wear and tear or cosmetic 
damage. The warranty ALSO DOES NOT COVER damages which 
occurred in shipment, or failures which are caused by products not 
supplied by the warrantor, or failures which result from accidents, misuse, 
abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty installation, 
set-up adjustments, misadjustment of consumer controls, improper 
maintenance, power line surge, lightning damage, modification, 
introduction of sand, humidity or liquids, commercial use such as hotel, 
office, restaurant, or other business or rental use of the product, or service

Servicer, or damage that is attributable to acts of God.

THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES EXCEPT AS LISTED 
UNDER “LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE”. THE WARRANTOR IS

OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or 
consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty 
lasts, so the exclusions may not apply to you.
