3. Setup and Adjustment

To ensure optimal noise reduction and comfort, proper adjustment of your ProCase Ear Muffs is essential:

1. Extend the Headband: Hold the earcups and pull the metal rack of the headband outwards to extend it.
2. Position the Earcups: Place the earcups over your ears, ensuring they fully cover your outer ears and create a seal against your head.
3. Adjust for Snug Fit: Slide the earcups up or down along the metal rack until the headband rests comfortably over the top of your head and the earcups fit snugly around your ears. A proper seal is crucial for effective noise reduction.
4. Initial Tightness Note: For efficient sound isolation, the earmuffs are designed to be snug. If you find them too tight initially, you may gently stretch the headband over a box or similar object for 1-2 days to loosen it slightly.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and effectiveness of your ProCase Noise Reduction Ear Muffs:

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the earcups and headband with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the earmuffs in water or use harsh chemical cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the earmuffs into their compact form and store them in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the earcups and headband for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Ensure the padding is intact and the seal remains effective.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your earmuffs, consider the following:

• Earmuffs feel too tight: As mentioned in the setup section, the earmuffs are designed to be snug for optimal noise isolation. If they feel excessively tight, gently stretch the headband over a stable object for 1-2 days to slightly loosen it.
• Insufficient Noise Reduction:
  • Ensure the earcups are fully covering your ears and forming a complete seal against your head. Adjust the headband for a tighter fit if necessary.
  • Check for any damage to the earcups or padding that might compromise the seal.
• Discomfort during prolonged use: Re-adjust the headband and earcup position to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure the padded headband is centered on your head.
