23. LIGHTNING – For added protection during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the product
due to lightning and power-line surges.
24. REPLACEMENT PARTS – When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
25. SAFETY CHECK – Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
26. FUSES – Always use the correct rating and type of fuse as indicated
on the rear panel of the amplifier. Note the proper rating fuse is
determined by the AC line voltage in the country this speaker system
is being operated. COMPLETELY DISCONNECT POWER CORD
FROM AMPLIFIER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE FUSE!
27. AC SELECT SWITCH: This switch must be set to match the AC line
voltage in the country this speaker system is being operated. To
change the setting, loosen (do not remove) the two screws left and
right the slide switch. Temporarily move the protective cover strip and
slide the actuator to match the voltage in your country. Place the
protective cover strip back over the switch and tighten the two screws.
COMPLETELY DISCONNECT POWER CORD FROM AMPLIFIER
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE AC VOLTAGE SETTINGS!
28. HARBINGER HPX-BBE SERIES POWERED LOUDSPEAKERS
ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT
SUSPENSION. ANY ATTEMPT TO SUSPEND AN HPX SERIES
CABINET COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH.
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 HPX-BBE Series 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
