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 (“Limited 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.

On-Site

During the “Labor” Limited Warranty period there will be no charge for labor. During the “Parts” Limited Warranty period, 
there will be no charge for parts.
You must carry-in your product or arrange for on-site service during the Limited Warranty period. If non-rechargeable 
batteries are included, they are not warranted. This Limited Warranty only applies to products purchased and serviced 
in the United States or Puerto Rico. This Limited Warranty is extended only to the original purchaser of a new product 
which was not sold “as is”. A purchase receipt or other proof of the original purchase date is required for Limited Warranty 
service.

On-Site or Carry-in Service

For On-Site or Carry-In Service in the United States and Puerto Rico call 1-877-95-VIERA (1-877-958-4372).

On-site service where applicable requires clear, complete and easy access to the product by the authorized servicer 
and does not include removal or re-installation of an installed product. It is possible that certain on-site repairs will not 
be completed on-site, but will require that the product or parts of the product, at the servicer’s discretion be removed for 
shop diagnosis and/or repair and then returned.

Limited Warranty Limits And Exclusions

This Limited Warranty ONLY COVERS failures due to defects in materials or workmanship, and DOES NOT COVER 
normal wear and tear or cosmetic damage, nor does it cover markings or retained images on the glass panel resulting 
from viewing fixed images (including, among other things, non-expanded standard 4:3 pictures on wide screen TV’s, 
or onscreen data in a stationary and fixed location). The Limited 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, bug infestation, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty installation, 
set-up adjustments, misadjustment of consumer controls, improper maintenance, power line surge, lightning damage, 
modification, or commercial use (such as in a hotel, office, restaurant, or other business), rental use of the product, 
service by anyone other than a Factory Service Center or other Authorized 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 NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE 
USE OF THIS PRODUCT, OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.

 (As examples, this 

excludes damages for lost time, cost of having someone remove or re-install an installed unit if applicable, or travel to 
and from the servicer. The items listed are not exclusive, but are for illustration only.) 

ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED 

WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE LIMITED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, ARE LIMITED TO THE PERIOD 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 Limited Warranty lasts, so the exclusions may not apply to you.

This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have others rights which vary from state to state. If 
a problem with this product develops during or after the Limited Warranty period, you may contact your dealer or Service 
Center. If the problem is not handled to your satisfaction, then write to the warrantor’s Consumer Affairs Department at 
the addresses listed for the warrantor.

PARTS AND SERVICE (INCLUDING COST OF AN ON-SITE SERVICE CALL, WHERE APPLICABLE) WHICH ARE 
NOT COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
