EN 352 Safety Statements:
•
The fitting of hygiene covers to the cushions may affect the
acoustic performance of the earmuffs.
•
Performance may deteriorate with battery usage. The typical
period of continuous use that can be expected from the
earmuffs battery is approximately 70 hours. This product
may be adversely affected by certain chemical substances.
Further information should be sought from the manufacturer.
•
The entertainment audio signal does not exceed 82 dB (A)
for input voltage up to maximum value 500 mV. The product
shall not be used if it can’t be ensured that the input voltage
doesn’t exceed the maximum value.
2.2. CAUTION
•
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
•
Do not charge batteries in temperatures above 45°C (113°F).

2.3. NOTE
•
When worn according to these 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 impulse noises, such as gunfire.
It is difficult to predict the required and/or actual hearing
protection obtained during exposure to impulse noises.
For gunfire, the weapon type, number of rounds fired, 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.
•
This hearing protector is provided with level-dependent
attenuation. The user should check correct operation before
use. If distortion or failure is detected, the user should refer
to the manufacturer’s advice for maintenance and
replacement of the battery.
•
Operating temperature range: –20°C (–4°F) to 50°C (122°F).
•
Do not mix old and new batteries.
•
Do not mix alkaline, standard, or rechargeable batteries.
•
To properly dispose of the battery, follow local solid waste
disposal regulations.

4. EXPLANATION OF STANDARD TABLES
The sound attenuation was obtained with the device powered
off.
4.1. EUROPE
3M strongly recommends personal fit testing of hearing
protectors. Research suggests that users may receive less
noise reduction than indicated by the attenuation label
value(s) on the packaging due to variation in fit, fitting skill,
and motivation of the user. Refer to applicable regulations
and guidance on how to adjust attenuation label value(s). In
the absence of applicable regulations, it is recommended that
the attenuation label value(s) be reduced to better estimate
typical protection.
