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

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

6. Black uniformity issues or other LCD issues associated with usage outside the Runco recommended guidelines and

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
[e-mail] or call (toll free) 800-23-RUNCO (800-237-8626).

Introduction

The Climate™ Series LCD offers legendary Runco® product quality and

Best of all, this display is finished with the same clean and elegant look
and style that distinguishes all Runco flat panels.

lifestyle. This full high-definition widescreen flat-panel monitor utilizes
advanced LCD technology in an enclosure designed to withstand the
elements. Featuring 1920 x 1080 native resolution and reflection-rejection

The enclosure has been engineered for maximum durability. We have
gone to great lengths to ensure protection from adverse environmental
conditions including temperature, exposure to moisture, dust, oils, and

colder temperatures (down to 0º F) so you can enjoy viewing year round.
The aluminum cabinet is sealed to ensure protection from the elements

avoid damage to the display in hot weather. As a result, the Runco
Climate Series LCD surpasses IP56 weatherproof standards, which
accommodates leaving it outdoors 365 days a year, without worry.

formats.

inputs for gaming, internet surfing and other computer activities. The
Climate Series LCD has an exceptionally wide viewing angle of 176
degrees to make enjoyment possible for a large number of viewers with
widely dispersed seating positions.
