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 (“Limited 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” 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 in-home service during the Limited Warranty period. If non-

Limited Warranty Limits And Exclusions
This Limited Warranty ONLY COVERS failures due to defects in materials or workmanship, and DOES NOT COVER

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 
Servicenter or other Authorized Servicer, or damage that is attributable to acts of God.

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

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
