Limited Warranty Coverage
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, 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 your product or arrange for on-site service during the Limited warranty period. If non-rechargeable
batteries are included, they are not warranted. 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”. A purchase receipt or other proof of the original purchase date is required for 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 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 LCD 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 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.

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, cost of having someone remove or re-install an installed unit if applicable, or travel to

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.
