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

repair depot specified by the technical support representative. It is the customers 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.

Sub Pixel Policy  
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 Runcos 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 [email protected].  
Other Terms and Conditions  
1. Runco will not accept returned Product unless an RMA number has been issued by Runco.

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.  
Installation  
Considerations  
Wall-Mounting the Climate  
Series LCD  
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 wall-  
mount 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.  
3.4  
Proceed as follows to connect the Climate Series LCD to your video sources,  
Connections to the  
Climate Series LCD  
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.  
Input/Output Connection  
Panel Access  
To access the rear input/output connectors, loosen the two captive screws on the  
input/output cover and remove the input/output connector cover.

The SAP is usually a foreign-language translation. However, it can also be used  
for other purposes such as Described Video Services (DVS0, which provide  
descriptive narration of key visual elements in programs for the benefit of the  
visually impaired.  
You can select sound options depending  
on the broadcast signal by pressing the  
MTS button on the remote control.

5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting  
5.1  
Regular cleaning will extend the life and performance of the Climate Series LCD.  
Cleaning  
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.  
Cleaning the Display,  
Panel Body and Remote  
Control  
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.  
Cleaning the Air Filters  
and Vents  
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  
6.1  
To Interface the Climate Portfolio Series LCD with a home theater  
RS-232 Connection  
and Port  
Configuration  
automation/control system or a PC running terminal emulation software (such as  
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  
6.2  
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.  
Serial Command  
Syntax  
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.
