Maintenance

The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.

• If the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water in which neutral detergent has been diluted 100 times, and then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type until the surface is dry.

• Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fi ngernails or other hard objects, otherwise the surface may become damaged. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.
  If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

• If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.

• Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma Display. If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.

• Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods in  contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.

Panasonic Professional Flat Panel Display Limited Warranty

Panasonic Professional Display Company. (referred to as “the Warrantor”) will repair this product and all included accessories with new or refurbished parts, free of charge in the USA or Puerto Rico, of the original purchase in the event of  a defect in materials or workmanship as follows:

LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT

Panasonic Canada Inc. (also known as PCI) warrants this product to be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal use during the applicable warranty coverage period described below. PCI agrees to repair, or at its option,
exchange, any part that becomes defective. However, the product must be purchased and serviced in Canada. The product or part that shows evidence of defect must be delivered prepaid or carried in to an authorized Panasonic Broadcast Service Center. This warranty does not cover shipping costs.
The warranty coverage period is one year for both parts and labour beginning with the date of original end user purchase, subject to the exceptions as stated below.
Repaired or replacement parts supplied during the warranty coverage period carry the unexpired portion of the original warranty coverage period. Proof of product purchase is a condition of warranty service. The owner must produce the  product purchase receipt or other satisfactory evidence of date of original purchase.
This warranty does not apply to external appearance items, such as handles, knobs, safety windows, etc. This warranty does not apply to any part, or parts, of the product, installed, altered, repaired or misused in any way that, in the  opinion of PCI, affects the reliability of or detracts from the performance of the product.
For products requiring routine preventive maintenance, that maintenance must be performed in order to maintain warranty coverage.
Serial numbers that have been altered, defaced or removed void this warranty. This warranty does not cover replacements or repairs necessitated by loss or damage resulting from any cause beyond the control of PCI.
Marking or retained images (sometimes called “burn-in”) resulting from the display of fixed images on video display products are not defects and are not covered under this warranty.
THIS EXPRESS, LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN  NO EVENT WILL PANASONIC CANADA INC. BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
In certain instances, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above limitations and exclusions may not be applicable.

• Dust, smoke, rental/staging environment and twenty-four/seven operation, dramatically decreases the interval between performances of routine preventive maintenance required to maintain this warranty coverage.

Warranty Service
If the product needs to be shipped for service, carefully pack (preferably in the original carton) and enclose a letter, detailing the complaint. Send prepaid and adequately insured to the local authorized Panasonic Service Centre in your area or to Panasonic Technical Support and Product Services Department, 5770  Ambler Drive, Mississauga, Ontario, L4W 2T3. Shipping to the latter location requires a return authorization before shipment. No liability is assumed for  loss or damage to the product while in transit.
