Fitting Instructions

Improper fitting of this hearing protection device will reduce its effectiveness. Fit your earmuff correctly before any exposure to noise and replace if the earmuff is damaged.

• Place the earmuff on the head with the band at the crown (top) of the head.
• Pull the cups apart and place the earmuff over your ears so that the ear cushions fit snugly to form a seal.
• It is important that the cups fully enclose the ears and that the cushions exert equal pressure around the ears.
• Adjust the height of both cups for comfort while holding the headband in place.

Important: For a proper fit, ear cushions should seal firmly against the head. Anything that interferes with the seal, such as long hair, thick eyeglasses, pens, or caps, will lessen the earmuff's effectiveness.

• Do not bend or reshape the headband, as this will impact the fit and effect the noise reduction performance.
• Do not store the hearing protection device at temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius.

Care and Cleaning

Sponge clean with warm, soapy water on the ear cushions only. Do not use solvents. Ensure the ear cushion is completely dry before use. Earmuffs must be regularly inspected for cracks or worn parts and replaced as needed. The earmuffs must not be immersed in water!

Noise Attenuation (Reduction)

Noise exposure over 80 decibels (dB) may cause permanent hearing loss. Ensure the hearing protection device selected meets the needed noise attenuation for your environment.

For Example: An environmental noise level of 90 dB measured at the ear, with an SNR 29 dB protection device worn, the level of noise entering the ear is approximately 61 dB.

Sound Attenuation Values (Measured in accordance with EN 24869-1)

Note: APV = Assumed Protection Value. H = 33 dB, M = 26 dB, L = 21 dB, SNR = 29 dB

Warning

• The reported noise attenuation (noise reduction) will only be achieved when the device is worn correctly and in good working order.
• This hearing protection device helps reduce exposure to low level hazardous noise and loud sounds. Misuse or failure to wear hearing protection at all times during exposure to this noise may result in hearing loss.
• If you have any pre-existing ear conditions, please consult with your physician before using any form of ear protection.
• For proper use, please follow the instructions in this manual.
