Optional: Panasonic "Protection Plus" Warranty
Any unit for which the Panasonic "Protection Plus" warranty has been purchased will receive additional coverage for any failure
that occurs due to accidental damage. All other terms and conditions of the standard warranty apply and this additional coverage
will exist for the duration of the standard warranty period of the unit. If an extended Protection Plus warranty program is purchased,
coverage is extended to the end of the last year of extended coverage purchased.
This warranty does not cover failures or defects that are caused by fire, intentional acts, loss, theft, improper maintenance,
modification or service by anyone other than the Panasonic National Service Center or a Panasonic Authorized Service Provider,
or damage that is attributable to acts of God. Cosmetic damage that does not affect functionality is not covered. Cosmetic damage
on units with hardware failures will be repaired in accordance with the warranty terms. This warranty is extended solely to the
original purchaser on the unit serial number for which it was purchased. Complete unit replacement fulfills the full obligation and is
at the discretion of Panasonic and is limited to once during the coverage term. Maximum benefit is limited to one replacement per
coverage year of the Motherboard, LCD, Storage Drive, and Keyboard.
Wireless Module Warranty
Panasonic approved wireless modems installed in Panasonic brand computers and integrated by Panasonic or an Authorized
Panasonic Wireless Integrator are covered under the warranty for the remaining warranty period of the device in which the modem
is installed. For devices with less than three (3) months remaining on the unit warranty, the wireless modem will be covered for a
period of three (3) months from the date of installation of the modem, covering only modem replacement or modem installation
related issues.
All modems must be approved by the wireless carrier prior to use. Any use or attempted use of a wireless modem not approved
and activated by the carrier for use on their network is strictly prohibited and is not sanctioned or warranted by Panasonic and
may result in legal action. In addition, all modems must be approved by Panasonic as compatible with the device hardware before
installation or use.
Panasonic's sole responsibility for the warranty or technical support of the software required to install or operate the modem is
defined in Section 2 (Limited Software Warranty). Any attempted software installation by anyone other than a Panasonic Authorized
Wireless Integrator is not covered under warranty and may result in service charges to re-image or replace the hard drive.
Installation or attempted installation by any party other than Panasonic or an Authorized Panasonic Wireless Integrator is strictly not
covered under the warranty and may void the computer warranty if damage results.
