The battery may not be charged if the ambient
temperature e45°C.
CAUTION
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
•
Always use product-specific 3M replacement parts. Use of
unauthorized replacement parts may reduce the protection
you receive from this product.
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, such as
gunfire. 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.
• This earmuff 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.
• This earmuff is provided with safety related audio input. The
user should check correct operation before use. If distortion or
failure is detected, the user should refer to the manufacturer’s
advice.
• This earmuff is provided with electrical audio input. The
wearer should check correct operation before use. If distortion
or failure is detected, the wearer should refer to the
manufacturer’s advice.
• This hearing protector limits the entertainment audio signal
to 82 dBA effective to the ear.
• Operating temperature range: –20°C to 55°C
• Storage temperature range: –20°C to 55°C

LABORATORY ATTENUATION
Explanation of attenuation tables
EN 352-1/EN 352-3/EN 352-4
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 for
guidance on how to adjust attenuation label values. In the
absence of applicable regulations, it is recommended that the
SNR be reduced to better estimate typical protection.
