3M™ PELTOR™ WS™ ALERT™ XP Headset
MRX21A2WS6-NA, MRX21P3E2WS6-NA
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations and thank you for choosing 3M™ PELTOR™
communication solutions! Welcome to the next generation of
protective communication.
INTENDED USE
These 3M™ PELTOR™ headsets are intended to provide
workers with protection against hazardous noise levels and
loud sounds while allowing the user to communicate with
built-in Bluetooth® technology, hear the surroundings via the
ambient microphones, and listen to FM radio. It is expected
that all users read and understand the provided user
instructions as well as be familiar with the use of this device.
IMPORTANT
Please read understand and follow all safety information in
these instructions prior to use. Retain these instructions for
future reference. For additional information or any questions,
contact 3M Technical Service (contact information listed on
the last page).

WARNING
This hearing protector helps reduce exposure to hazardous
noise and other loud sounds.
Misuse or failure to wear
hearing protection at all times when exposed to
hazardous noise may result in hearing loss or injury.
For proper use, see supervisor, user instructions or call 3M
Technical Service. If your hearing seems dulled or you hear
a ringing or buzzing during or after any noise exposure
(including gunfire), or for any other reason you suspect
a hearing problem, leave the noisy environment immediately
and consult a medical professional and/or your supervisor.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
injury or death:
a. Listening to music or other audio communication may
reduce your situational awareness and ability to hear warning
signals. Stay alert and adjust the audio volume to the lowest
acceptable level.
b. To reduce the risks associated with igniting an explosion,
do not use this product in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Failure to follow these instructions may reduce the
protection provided by the earmuff and may result
in hearing loss:
a. 3M strongly recommends individual fit testing of hearing
protectors. If the NRR is used to estimate typical workplace
protection, 3M recommends that the noise reduction value be
reduced by 50% or in accordance with applicable regulations.
b. Ensure the hearing protector is properly selected, fit,
adjusted, and maintained. Improper fit of this device will reduce
its effectiveness in attenuating noise. Consult the enclosed
instructions for proper fit.
c. Inspect the hearing protector before each use. If damaged,
select an undamaged hearing protector or avoid the noisy
environment.
d. When additional personal protective equipment is
necessary (e.g. safety glasses, respirators, etc.), select flexible,
low profile temples or straps to minimize interference with the
earmuff cushion. Remove all other unnecessary articles (e.g.
hair, hats, jewelry, headphones, hygiene covers, etc.) that
could interfere with the seal of the earmuff cushion and reduce
the protection of the earmuff.
e. Do not bend or reshape the headband, and ensure there
is adequate force to hold the earmuffs firmly in place.
f. Earmuffs, and in particular cushions, may deteriorate with
use and should be examined at frequent intervals for cracking
and leakage, for example. When used regularly, replace the
ear cushions and foam liners at least twice a year to maintain
consistent protection, hygiene and comfort.
g. If the recommendations above are not adhered to, the
protection afforded by the ear-muffs will be severely impaired.
CAUTION
To reduce the risks associated with fire, explosion and
burns, which if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury or property damage:
a. Use only 3M™ PELTOR™ USB charger FR09 and 3M™
PELTOR™ USB wall adapter FR08 with 3M™ PELTOR™
LR6NM rechargeable batteries.
b.
The battery may not be charged if the ambient temperature
e113 °F (45 °C).
CAUTION:
For noise environments dominated by frequencies below
500 Hz the C-weighted environmental noise level should be
used.
CAUTION:
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
NOTE:
• When worn according to the user instructions, this hearing
protector helps reduce exposure to both continuous noises,
such as industrial noises and noises from vehicles and
aircraft, as well as very loud impulse noises. It is difficult
to predict the required and/or actual hearing protection
obtained during exposure to impulse noises. Proper
selection, fit and use of hearing protection, proper care of
hearing protection, and other variables will impact
performance. To learn more about hearing protection for
impulse noise, visit www.3M.com/PELTOR.
• Although hearing protectors can be recommended for
protection against the harmful effects of impulsive noise, the
Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) is based on the attenuation
of continuous noise and may not be an accurate indicator of
the protection attainable against impulsive noise such as
gunfire (wording required by EPA).
• This hearing protector limits the entertainment audio signal
to 82 dBA effective to the ear.
• Operating temperature range: –4°F (-20°C) to 131°F (55°C)
• Storage temperature range: –4°F (-20°C) to 131°F (55°C)
