Warning!
It is important that the instructions for use are followed.
Failure to do so could result in a drastic reduction in the noise
attenuation and may lead to serious injury.
Carefully read these user instructions!
• The hearing protector must be used at all times in noisy
environments to provide full protection effect! Only 100%
wear time provides full protection.
• The audibility of warning signals at a specific workplace
may be impaired if over protected, when using a hearing
protector with a too high noise attenuation performance in
relation to the noise environment.
• When using hearing protection with entertainment audio
features, remember to adjust the volume when working in
noisy environments so that any warning signals etc. can be
heard.
• For some individuals, excessive sound pressure from
earphones and headphones may cause hearing loss.
• Do not use this product in a potentially explosive
atmosphere.
• This product may be adversely affected by certain chemical
substances. Further information should be sought from the
manufacturer.
• Ensure that the hearing protectors are regularly inspected
for serviceability.
• The hearing protector's noise attenuating properties can
dramatically decrease with usage of for example, thick
spectacle frames, ski masks/balaclavas, etc.
• Use of perspiration/hygienic protection over the sealing
rings can reduce the hearing protector's noise attenuation
properties.
• Earmuffs, and in particular cushions, may deteriorate with
use and should be examined at frequent intervals for
cracking and leakage.
• Immediately discard the product if showing signs of cracks
or damage.
• Hygiene kit should be changed at least twice per year. Make
sure you choose the correct hygiene kit for your hearing
protector.
• Clean the product with mild soap. You must be sure that the
detergent you use does not irritate the skin. Do not dip the
product in water. When damp, turn the shells outwards and
remove the cushions so they can dry. Remove the batteries.
• The hearing protector must be stored in a dry and clean
environment out of direct sun light, e.g. in its original
packaging.
• Warning! Performance may deteriote with battery usage.
The typical period of continuous use that can be expected
from the hearing protector is 130 hours.
