Limited Warranty Coverage
If your product does not work properly because of a defect in materials or workmanship, 
Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company or Panasonic Sales Company (collectively 
referred to as “the warrantor”) will, for the length of the period indicated on the chart below,

the “Parts” warranty period, there will be no charge for parts. You must mail-in your 
product during the 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 and only covers product purchased as new. A purchase receipt 
or other proof of original purchase date is required for Limited Warranty service.

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. 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,

surge, lightning damage, modification, or commercial use (such as hotel, office, restaurant, 
or other business), rental use of the product, or service by anyone other than a Factory 
Servicenter 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 WARRANTY.

ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE 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 other 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 Servicenter. 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.
