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 Marketing
Company of North America (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”.
