2. Setup

1. Unfold the Headband: Gently unfold the headband from its compact, folded position until it forms a comfortable arc.
2. Inspect Earplugs: Before each use, visually inspect the earplugs for any signs of damage, wear, or dirt. Ensure they are securely attached to the headband.

3. Operating Instructions

The Per Cap Ear Protection Headband offers multiple wearing positions for optimal comfort and effectiveness.

3.1. Wearing Positions

• Under-the-Chin: Position the headband under your chin, with the earplugs gently resting against the opening of your ear canals. This is a common and comfortable position.
• Over-the-Head: Place the headband over the top of your head, similar to traditional earmuffs, ensuring the earplugs are positioned correctly at the ear canal openings.
• Behind-the-Neck: For certain applications or personal preference, the headband can be worn behind the neck, with the earplugs still aligning with the ear canal openings.

3.2. Proper Fit

Ensure the earplugs are seated gently but firmly against the opening of your ear canals. They are designed to sit outside the ear canal, providing a pressure-free seal. If you experience discomfort or inadequate noise reduction, adjust the headband's position until a comfortable and effective fit is achieved.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your ear protection headband.

4.1. Cleaning

• Earplugs: The earplugs can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry completely before re-use. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Headband: Wipe the headband with a damp cloth.

4.2. Storage

When not in use, fold the headband into its compact form and store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and chemicals. Proper storage helps maintain the material integrity and extends product life.

4.3. Replacing Earplugs

The earplugs are designed to be replaceable. If earplugs become damaged, worn, or lose their effectiveness, they should be replaced with genuine Per Cap replacement plugs. Consult the manufacturer's website or authorized retailers for replacement parts.

5. Troubleshooting

• Insufficient Noise Reduction:
  • Ensure earplugs are properly seated against the ear canal opening.
  • Try a different wearing position to achieve a better seal.
  • Check earplugs for damage or wear; replace if necessary.
• Discomfort During Wear:
  • Adjust the headband's position to relieve pressure.
  • Ensure earplugs are not pushed too far into the ear canal; they are designed to sit at the opening.
