4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

Note: Always use fresh batteries for optimal performance. Remove batteries if the earmuffs will not be used for an extended period.

3.2 Adjusting the Fit

For effective noise reduction and comfort, proper fit is crucial.

1. Extend the headband by pulling the ear cups downwards until they fit over your ears.
2. Position the ear cups so they fully cover your ears, creating a tight seal around them.
3. Adjust the headband length using the telescopic rods until the earmuffs feel snug but comfortable.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Power On/Off and Volume Control

The earmuffs feature a volume control button located on the side of one ear cup.

• To power on and increase volume: Slide the button from left to right.
• To power off and decrease volume: Slide the button from right to left.

Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level for ambient sounds.

4.2 Sound Amplification and Noise Reduction

These earmuffs are designed to enhance your auditory experience while protecting your hearing.

• Sound Amplification: The built-in microphones pick up low-level sounds, amplifying them to a safe level (up to 82 dB). This allows you to hear conversations, range commands, and environmental sounds clearly.
• Automatic Noise Reduction: When a loud noise (above 82 dB) occurs, the electronic circuit instantly compresses or blocks the sound, protecting your ears from potential damage. This happens automatically and seamlessly.
