IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please keep this instruction manual for future reference and for the duration
of owning the RT25 powered loudspeaker. Please carefully read and
understand the instructions inside this owner’s manual before attempting to
operate your new powered loudspeaker.
This instruction manual includes essential safety information regarding the
use and maintenance of the amplifier. Take special care to heed all warning
symbols and signs inside this manual and those printed on the amplifier on
the back of the loudspeaker.
WARNING
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THE AMPLIFIER
TO WATER/MOISTURE, NOR SHOULD YOU OPERATE THE AMPLIFIER
NEAR ANY WATER SOURCE.
The exclamation point triangular symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance(servicing) instructions in
the user manual accompanying the Amplifier.
The lightning flash with an arrow triangular symbol is intended to alert
the user to the presence of non-insulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure, and may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk
of electric shock.
WARNING
Handle the power supply cord with care.
Do not damage or deform it as it may cause electric shock or malfunction
when used. Hold the plug attachment when removing from wall outlet.
Do not pull on the power cord.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FCC STATEMENTS
To prevent electric shock, do not use a polarized plug with an extension
cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to
prevent blade exposure.
HEARING DAMAGE AND PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE SPLs
Harbinger RT25 powered loudspeakers are capable of producing
extremely loud volume levels that can cause permanent hearing
damage to performers, production crews or the audience. Hearing
protection is recommended during long-term exposure to high SPLs
(sound pressure levels).
Remember, if it hurts, it is definitely too loud! Long term exposure to high
SPLs first causes temporary threshold shifts; limiting your ability to hear the
actual loudness and exercise good judgment. Repeated long term exposure
to high SPLs will cause permanent hearing loss.
Please note the recommended exposure limits in the accompanying
table. More information about these limits is available on the US
government Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) website at:
www.osha.gov.

This warranty does not cover service or parts to repair damage caused by

inadequate shipping procedures.
The sole and exclusive remedy of the foregoing limited warranty shall be limited
to the repair or replacement of any defective or non-conforming component. All
warranties including, but not limited to, the express warranty and the implied
warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are limited to
the one (1) year warranty period. Some states do not allow limitation on how
long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

warranties to the warranty period, then the duration of the implied warranties
shall be limited to as long as is provided by applicable law. No warranties
apply after that period.
