(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,
