Setup

1. Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge your PROTEAR earmuffs. Connect the provided USB-C charging cable to the charging port on the earmuffs and to a USB power source (e.g., computer, wall adapter). The LED indicator will show the charging status. A full charge typically takes less than 2 hours.

2. Fitting the Earmuffs

1. Extend the headband by pulling the ear cups downwards until they fit comfortably over your ears.
2. Position the ear cups so that they completely cover your ears, creating a tight seal around them.
3. Adjust the headband for a snug but comfortable fit. A proper seal is crucial for effective noise reduction.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the earmuffs and ear cushions with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the earmuffs for compact storage. Store them in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Ear Cushions: Regularly inspect ear cushions for wear and tear. Damaged cushions can compromise noise reduction effectiveness. Replace them if necessary (replacement parts sold separately).
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the earmuffs regularly, even if not in constant use.

Troubleshooting

User Tips

• Optimal Fit: Always ensure a snug fit with the ear cups completely covering your ears to maximize noise reduction and sound quality.
• Button Operation: The oversized buttons are designed for easy use, even with work gloves. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with their functions.
• Battery Preservation: If you plan to store the earmuffs for an extended period, charge them to about 50% capacity and recharge every few months to prevent deep discharge.
• Environmental Awareness: While providing excellent hearing protection, always be aware of your surroundings, especially in hazardous work environments.
