ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
For LCD Displays
Congratulations on your purchase of a Runco video product and welcome to the Runco family! We believe Runco produces
“The World’s Finest Home Theater Products.” With proper installation, setup and care, you should enjoy many years of
unparalleled video performance.
This is a LIMITED WARRANTY as defined in the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Please read it carefully and retain it with
your other important documents.
SERVICE LABOR: Runco will pay for service labor by a Runco Authorized Service Center when needed as a result of a
manufacturing defect for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery to the end user.
PARTS: Runco will provide new or rebuilt replacement parts for the parts that fail due to defects in materials or workmanship
for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery to the end user. Such replacement parts are then subsequently
warranted for the remaining portion (if any) of the original warranty period.
Image retention on LCD display panels is specifically excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty. Image retention
or staining of an image is the result of misuse of the product and therefore cannot be repaired under the terms of this
Limited Warranty.
Normal viewing material such as television/satellite broadcasts, videotape or DVDs (not put into pause for extended periods
of time) will not cause damage to your display under normal conditions. Many DVD players are also equipped with screen
savers for this reason.
TO AVOID IMAGE RETENTION (Burn-in): Please ensure that still images are not left on your LCD display panel. Also
ensure that images displayed in the 4:3 aspect ratio mode (black or gray stripes, but no picture information is present on the
left and right edges of the screen) are used as infrequently as possible. This will prevent permanent retention on your LCD
display panel, which can be seen permanently under certain conditions once burn-in has occurred.
The types of images to avoid include video games, still images and computer screens with stationary tool bars and icons.
(This is why computers are equipped with screen savers – to prevent still images from burning into the monitor’s phosphors
after being displayed continuously for an extended period of time).
This Limited Warranty only covers failure due to defects in materials and workmanship that occur during normal use and
does not cover normal maintenance. This Limited Warranty does not cover cabinets or any appearance items; failure
resulting from accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, faulty or improper installation or setup
adjustments; improper maintenance, alteration, improper use of any input signal; damage due to lightning or power line
surges, spikes and brownouts; damage that occurs during shipping or transit; or damage that is attributed to acts of God. In
the case of remote control units, damage resulting from leaking, old, damaged or improper batteries is also excluded from
coverage under this Limited Warranty.
CAUTION: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS RUNCO PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM RUNCO AUTHORIZED
DEALERS. ALL OTHER PRODUCTS ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY. MOREOVER, DAMAGE RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR
SETUP IS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT
INSTALLATION AND SETUP WORK BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED RUNCO DEALER TO PROTECT
YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THIS WARRANTY. THIS WILL ALSO ENSURE THAT YOU ENJOY THE FINE PERFORMANCE
OF WHICH YOUR RUNCO PRODUCT IS CAPABLE WHEN INSTALLED AND CALIBRATED BY RUNCO AUTHORIZED
PERSONNEL.
WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:
iv
Runco limits its obligations under any implied warranties under state laws to a period not to exceed the warranty period.
There are no express warranties. Runco also excludes any obligation on its part for incidental or consequential damages
related to the failure of this product to function properly. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, and some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. So the
above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
other rights that vary from state to state.
This warranty begins on the effective date of delivery to the end user. For your convenience, keep the original bill of sale as
evidence of the purchase date.
Please fill out and mail your warranty registration card. It is imperative that Runco knows how to reach you promptly if we
should discover a safety problem or product update for which you must be notified.
Repairs made under the terms of this Limited Warranty covering your Runco video product will be performed at
the location of the product, during usual working hours, providing location of product is within normal operating
distance from a Runco Authorized Service Center. In some instances it may be necessary for the product to be
returned to the Runco factory for repairs. If, solely in Runco’s judgment, location of product to be repaired is
beyond normal operating distance of the closest Runco Authorized Service Center, or the repair requires the
unit be returned to the Runco factory, it is the owner’s responsibility to arrange for shipment of the product for
repair. These arrangements must be made through the selling Runco Dealer. If this is not possible, contact
Runco directly for a Return Authorization number and shipping instructions. Runco will return product
transportation prepaid in the United States, unless no product defect is discovered. In that instance, shipping
costs will be the responsibility of the owner.

Runco WP-42HD Owner’s Operating Manualvi
Please read and retain these instructions for your safety. This unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure your
personal safety, but improper use can result in potential electric shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards
incorporated in this monitor, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this LCD monitor where the cord will
be damaged by people walking on it.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock.
A suitable socket outlet must be provided near the monitor and be easily accessible.
Do not place this LCD monitor near any heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other
heat-generating products (including amplifiers).
Do not place your LCD monitor on an unstable stand, shelf or table. Serious bodily injury and/or damage to the LCD monitor
may result if it should fall. Your sales person can recommend an approved wall mounting kit. A special wall mounting kit is
available for this model. To prevent injury, the LCD monitor must be securely attached to the wall in accordance with the
installation instructions provided with the mounting kit.
This LCD monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the monitor or as indicated in the
Operating Instructions. If you are not sure of the type of power supply, consult your sales person or your local power
company.
For added protection it is strongly recommended that this LCD monitor is supplied via an approved earth fault protection
device.
IMPORTANT: This product must be earthed
This unit is not disconnected from the mains unless the mains lead is unplugged. The installer must make sure that the
waterproof inline coupler is easily accessible.
This monitor is tested to IP56 standard rating. It is not protected against temporary or continuous immersion in liquid.
Do not use immediately after moving the LCD monitor from a low temperature to a high temperature environment, as this
causes condensation, which may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. Before cleaning, unplug the monitor from the
wall socket.
Do not mount near an open flame source. Open flames must never be used near this LCD monitor.
This LCD monitor should not be built in or enclosed in any way. Heat build up will reduce the life of the monitor.
This LCD monitor should have a minimum distance of 5cm away from the wall and
the monitor should have 10cm distance around the top and sides.
Always mount using recommended and substantial fixtures and fittings.
The rear finned section around the cabinet functions as a heat sink, removing heat
away from the monitor. The external surface of the cabinet (finned area) must not
be covered or the airflow restricted in anyway by enclosing the LCD monitor.
The operating temperature range of this monitor is guaranteed 0 °C ~ 40 °C (32 °F ~104 °F). It is not recommended to
install the screen in direct sunlight without adequate shading, as this will cause the temperature of the panel to rise above
the maximum specified.

Doing so may cause a black shadow to appear on the screen, which will disappear when the screen temperature returns to
within the specification. This, of course, does not produce any harmful effect on the lifetime.
Do not apply liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners directly onto the LCD monitor. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
This monitor must NOT be permanently mounted to the building structure. It must be mounted in such a way that it can be
removed using basic tools.
The power supply cord must NOT be attached to the building surface. The power supply cord must NOT be routed through
walls, ceiling, floors, or other similar openings in the building structure.
The power supply cord MUST be positioned so as to prevent physical damage.
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE EARTHED
This equipment is fitted with an approved, inline waterproof mains coupler and an approved, non-rewireable UK mains plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug, proceed as follows:
1.Remove the fuse cover and fuse.
2.Fit a new fuse which should be a BS1362 13 Amp A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3.Ensure that the fuse cover is correctly refitted.
If the fuse cover is lost or damaged the plug must NOT be used but replaced with a serviceable plug.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the
mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a rating of 13 Amp. Ensure the fuse cover is correctly fitted. If a plug without a
fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 13 Amp.
The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket
elsewhere.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue = Neutral; Brown = Live; Green and Yellow = Earth
1.The Blue wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured BLACK.
2.The Brown wire must be connected to the terminal with the letter “L” or coloured RED.
3.The Green and Yellow wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “E” or coloured GREEN or
GREEN and YELLOW.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the
wires.
Do not attempt to bypass the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.
THIS UNIT IS NOT DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS UNLESS THE MAINS LEAD IS UNPLUGGED.
THE INSTALLER MUST MAKE SURE THE WATERPROOF INLINE COUPLER IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE.

complying with the same safety standards as applicable to the original parts. The use of original
spare parts can prevent fire, shock and other hazards.
Unplug the LCD monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
• If the power cord or plug is damaged.
• If liquid has been spilt into the LCD monitor.
• If the LCD monitor has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
• If the LCD monitor exhibits a distinct change in performance.
• If the LCD monitor does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may result
in damage. This will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the monitor to normal operation.
