the manufacturer’s instructions to achieve the expected 

attenuation and hearing protection.

• Use earplugs at all times in noisy surroundings.

•  Make certain that the earplugs provide adequate  

protection for the noisy environment.

•  Earplugs are reusable. Regularly inspect the earplugs  

to assure their continued serviceability.

•  Connecting cord should not be used where there  

is a risk that the connecting cord can be caught up 

during use.

•  This product may be adversely affected by certain  

chemical substances. Further information should  

be sought from the manufacturer.

•  This earplug is provided with level-dependent  

attenuation. The wearer should check correct  

operation before use. If distortion or failure  

is detected, the wearer should refer to the  

manufacturer’s advice for maintenance and  

replacement of the battery.

  

Warning:

 The output of the level-dependent  

circuit of the hearing protector may exceed the  

daily limit sound level. 

•  To determine if the device is working, insert a battery, 

cup the device in your hand and listen for acoustic 

feedback (squeal). If feedback is present, the battery
