One Year Limited Warranty

For North America

Runco warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship during the warranty period provided
below. If, in Runco‟s sole determination, a product proves to be defective in material or workmanship during the warranty
period, Runco will repair the product, replace the product with a substantially similar new or like new product, or refund a
prorata share of the purchase price (calculated based on the remainder of the warranty period and the then-current
MSRP2 of a similar product), if repair or replacement of the product is determined by Runco to not be feasible. Runco has
sole discretion in determining whether a same or like model is offered, and what constitutes as „substantially similar
model‟.

Runco products are warranted for one (1)-year from the date of shipment from Runco. Lamps are warranted six (6)
months from the date of shipment or 1000 hours of use, whichever comes first. All other accessories, which include but
are not limited to, cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens cap and other peripherals sold with the Runco product, are
warranted for ninety (90) days from the date of the original shipment of the accessory.

This RuncoCare One Year Limited Warranty is valid only for the first customer who purchases the covered product from
an authorized Runco dealer or distributor. This warranty is not transferable. You may be required to provide proof of
purchase in order to receive warranty services.

1. Runco may update this list of products excluded from this warranty from time to time at Runco’s sole discretion, but updates to the list of
covered products will not apply on a retroactive basis.

2. MSRP is defined as the most recent product price listed on Runco’s price list.

RuncoCare Claim Procedure

Warranty Exclusions

In the event of a product defect, please follow the warranty claim procedure provided below:

The customer is required to contact a Runco dealer or Runco Technical Support via email at [e-mail] or

via phone at (toll free) 800-23-RUNCO (800-237-8626). If the customer is located outside North America, call +3589
4200 554 in Europe for product service.

Be prepared to provide the date of purchase, the place of purchase, serial number, product model number,

description of the problem and troubleshooting steps already attempted.

Runco Technical Support staff will attempt to correct any minor issues that may be causing the problem. If Runco is

unable to resolve the problem through troubleshooting, a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number will be issued
for the exchange of the defective product if it is determined that the claim was made within the coverage period of the
Standard Limited Warranty.

If it is determined that the Standard Limited Warranty applies to the claim, the customer will need to return the

defective product to the Runco repair depot location specified by the Runco technical support representative. The
customer will need to properly package the defective product, consisting of the product only, and not include any
accessories (e.g., cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens, lens cap and other peripherals) and return it to the Runco
repair depot specified by the technical support representative. It is the customer‟s responsibility to properly package
the hardware, include all appropriate materials, and return it to the location specified by the Runco technical support
department. The customer will need to address and resolve any shipping damage claims directly with the shipping
company.

The customer is responsible for providing a suitable box to ship the defective product to an authorized Runco repair

depot. Boxes may be purchased from a Runco technical support representative.

The customer is responsible for paying freight charges to ship the defective product to an authorized Runco repair

depot.

For in-warranty repairs, Runco will pay freight charges to return the repaired/replacement product (which shall not

include accessories--e.g., cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens cap and other peripherals sold with the Runco
product) to the customer from the Runco repair depot.

Once an RMA has been created, the customer may contact [e-mail] for follow-up questions or

confirmation status of the claim process.

This RuncoCare Standard Limited Warranty does not include or is limited by the following:

1. Products not purchased from an authorized Runco dealer

2. Rental costs incurred by the customer in the event of product defect or failure

3. Any product with a defaced, modified, or removed serial number

4. Damage, deterioration, or malfunction resulting from:
a. Accident, abuse, misuse, neglect, improper ventilation, fire, water, disaster, lightning, or other acts of nature,

smoke exposure (cigarette or otherwise), unauthorized product modification (including use of an unauthorized

mount), or failure to follow instructions supplied with the product
b. Repair or attempted repair by anyone not authorized by Runco
c. Any damage to the product due to shipment
d. Removal or installation of the product
e. Causes external to the product, such as electric power fluctuations or failure
f. Use of supplies or parts (including lamps) that are not purchased from Runco or do not meet Runco‟s

m. Any damage or dissatisfaction associated with latent images, “burn-in,” or any other damage determined by

Runco to be the result of customer use patterns
n. Any other cause, which does not relate to a product defect in material or workmanship

5. Removal, installation, and set-up service charges are excluded from this Standard Limited warranty

within Runco‟s manufacturing specifications. (See Sub Pixel Policy below)

8. Second day shipment delivery time and availability may vary based on origin and destination and Runco is unable to
deliver to PO Box and FPO Box addresses

It is not uncommon for one or more sub pixels to become bright or dark during or after the manufacturing process. A
bright sub pixel is one that remains in the on position, and a dark sub pixel is one that appears black or off. The sub
pixels are usually hard to see and will not detract from the display quality or usability at normal viewing distance. The
following are Runco‟s criteria for identifying bright or dark sub pixels that would be considered unacceptable: a) the
number of bright or dark sub pixels; b) the location of the bright or dark sub pixels; c) the color of the bright sub pixels; and
d) the Runco model size. If sub pixels have been identified as unacceptable by Runco the LCD will be deemed faulty and
will be replaced if reported within the warranty period. If there are issues with bright or dark sub pixels, gather the
information listed above and call or email [e-mail].

1. Runco will not accept returned Product unless an RMA number has been issued by Runco.

2. If an Advance Exchange return occurs, it is the customer‟s responsibility to properly package the defective product
and ship it to the address provided by the Runco technical support representative with the RMA number prominently
displayed. If the defective product is not properly packaged and is damaged in transit during its return to Runco, you
may be invoiced for either the repair costs, if repairable, or the MSRP of a replacement product and shipping costs
incurred by Runco.

3. The repaired or replaced product will assume the remainder of your original product‟s RuncoCare Service Plan term
or 90 days from the date the repaired unit is shipped, whichever is longer.

4. If a replacement product is sent, the customer agrees to retain the replacement for the product you purchased and
your defective product becomes the property of Runco.

Runco offers extended and expanded service plans. For information on additional product protection, please email

Installation

Proper installation of your Climate Series LCD will ensure the highest possible
picture quality. Whether you are installing the Climate Series LCD temporarily or
permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure that it performs
optimally.

You can either place the Climate Series LCD on a table or in an entertainment
center, or mount it on a wall.

If you do decide to wall-mount the Climate Series LCD, ensure that the wall­mount bracket is installed according to the instructions included with it. The wall
must be capable of supporting a redundant weight factor three (3) times the
weight of the display, or be reinforced.

Runco recommends that this be done by a customer installation specialist.

Use only the Runco-approved wall-mount kit designed for your
display.

Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:

Keep the Climate Series LCD away from devices that radiate

electromagnetic energy such as motors and transformers. Common sources
of these include slide projectors, speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.

Proceed as follows to connect the Climate Series LCD to your video sources,
external controller(s) – if present – and AC power.

When connecting your equipment:

Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
Use the correct signal cables for each source.
Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on

connectors that have them.

Use the left audio input when connecting mono audio sources.

To access the rear input/output connectors, loosen the two captive screws on the
input/output cover and remove the input/output connector cover.

Connecting the Climate
Series LCD to Source
Components

Installation

Connect your video sources to the Climate Series LCD as shown and described
in the sections that follow.

HDMI Connections: The Climate Series LCD has two HDMI inputs for
connecting a BD/HD-DVD/DVD player, DTV decoder, personal computer or any
other device with an HDMI or DVI output. Connect such devices as shown in
Figure 3-1.

Use the HDMI inputs whenever possible. This ensures the
highest video quality because the signal is carried in the digital
domain throughout the entire signal path, from source component
output into the display.

This Climate Series LCD supports the VESA Display Data
Channel (DDC) standard. This standard provides “Plug and Play”
capability; the display and a VESA DDC-compatible computer
communicate their setting requirements, allowing for quick and
easy set-up.

In order for Plug and Play to work correctly, you must turn on the display before
you turn on the connected computer.

and Vents

5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Regular cleaning will extend the life and performance of the Climate Series LCD.
Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

Do not under any circumstances use solvents such as benzene or thinner to
clean the Climate Series LCD. Doing so may cause deterioration or peeling of
paint from the display or remote control unit.

For cleaning the weatherproof protective front glass or remote control, use a mild
household glass cleaner with a non abrasive soft cloth. If using a cleaner for the
first time, we suggest using a test spot in a corner before cleaning the entire
surface.

For cleaning the body, use a mild household cleaner with a non abrasive with a
soft cloth. If using a cleaner for the first time, we suggest using a test spot on the
back of the TV before cleaning the entire surface.

It is recommended that you clean the air filters located at the bottom of the
Climate Series LCD every six (6) months. To remove the filters, simply unscrew
the two (2) screws. Wash the filter with warm water. Do not use chemicals of any
sort. Allow to dry before reinstalling.

As a general rule, use a vacuum cleaner about once a month to clean the vents
on the rear panel of the display of dust buildup (set the vacuum cleaner to its
weakest setting when doing this). If not removed, accumulated dust can cause
the internal temperature to increase, resulting in possible breakdown or fire.

6. Serial Communications

To Interface the Climate Portfolio Series LCD with a home theater
automation/control system or a PC running terminal emulation software (such as
TeraTerm Open Source project at http://ttssh2.sourceforge.jp/), connect it to your
control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-6. Use a straight-through cable.

Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, 8 data
bits, 1 stop but and no flow control. Set the baud rate to 38400

Commands are in four-byte raw HEX format in the form of Command + Data

1 + ID + Data 2. The Command byte is always 0x69, Data byte 1 defines
which command is to be executed, ID byte is always 0x00; Data byte 2 is
always 0x00, except in the case of the discrete volume command, in which
case it is a value between 0x00 and 0x64.

To send a command from a PC running terminal emulation software, create

either a separate script file for each command or a single script file
containing all the commands along with logic to determine which command is
to be sent. You cannot type commands in by hand because the Climate
Portfolio Series LCD expects the bytes to be sent faster than a human can
type, and also many of the HEX values for Data byte 1 are outside the range
one can enter using the keys on a keyboard.

When you send a valid command, the Climate Portfolio Series LCD executes

it and acknowledges it with “OK” (0x4F followed by 0x4B). Depending upon
the command, it may also return additional strings having to do with
execution of that command.

When you send an invalid or unrecognized command the Climate Portfolio

Series LCD ignores it and returns “NG” (0x4E followed by 0x47).

Table 6-1 lists the RS-232 command set.
