If your product does not work properly because of a defect in materials or
workmanship, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company or Panasonic Puerto Rico,
Inc. (collectively 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, or (b) replace it
with a new or a refurbished product. The decision to repair or replace 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. You must carry-in or mail-in your
product during the warranty period. If non-rechargeable batteries are included, they are
not warranted. This warranty only applies to products purchased and serviced in the

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 adjust-ments, 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 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.
(As examples, this excludes damages for lost time, travel to and from the servicer,
loss of media or images, data or other memory content. The items listed are not
exclusive, but are for illustration only.)
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 warranty lasts, so the exclusions may not
apply to you.
This 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 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.
