En 352 Safety Statements; Approvals - 3M Peltor WS ProTac XPI Manual

EN 352 Safety Statements:

The output of the level-dependent circuit of this hearing
protector may exceed the external sound level.
• The fitting of hygiene covers to the cushions may affect the
acoustic performance of the earmuffs.
• Performance may deteriorate with battery usage. The
typical period of continuous use that can be expected from the
earmuff battery is approximately 45 hours.
• This product may be adversely affected by certain chemical
substances. Further information should be sought from the
manufacturer..
• These helmet mounted earmuffs are of large size range.
Helmet mounted earmuffs complying with EN 352-3 are of
"medium size range" or "small size range" or "large size
range". "Medium size range" helmet mounted earmuffs are
designed to fit the majority of wearers. "Small size range" or
"large size range" helmet mounted earmuffs are designed to fit
wearers for whom "medium size range" helmet mounted
earmuffs are not suitable.
• The output of the audio circuit of this hearing protector may
exceed the exposure limit level.
• The product shall not be used if it can't be ensured that the
input voltage doesn't exceed the maximum value in Table D:1.
CAUTION:
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
See "Spare parts/accessories".
• Do not charge batteries in temperatures above 40 °C
(104 °F).
• Use only 3M™ PELTOR™ USB charger FR09 and USB
wall adapter FR08 with rechargeable battery pack ACK053.
• With batteries, there is a risk of fire and burns. Do not open,
crush, heat above 55 °C (131 °F), or incinerate.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard, or rechargeable batteries.
• For noise environments dominated by frequencies below
500 Hz the C-weighted environmental noise level should be
used.
• Always use product-specific 3M replacement parts. Use of
unauthorized replacement parts may reduce the protection
you receive from this product.
NOTE
• When worn according to these User Instructions, this
hearing protector helps reduce exposure to both continuous
noises, such as industrial noises and noises from vehicles and
aircraft, as well as very loud impulse noises, such as gunfire. It
is difficult to predict the required and/or actual hearing
protection obtained during exposure to impulse noises. For
gunfire, the weapon type, number of rounds fired, proper
selection, fit and use of hearing protection, proper care of
hearing protection, and other variables will impact
performance. To learn more about hearing protection for
impulse noise, visit www.3M.com/hearing.
• Although hearing protectors can be recommended for
protection against the harmful effects of impulsive noise, the
Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) is based on the attenuation of
continuous noise and may not be an accurate indicator of the
protection attainable against impulsive noise such as gunfire
(wording required by EPA).
• This earmuff is provided with level-dependent attenuation.
The wearer should check correct operation before use. If
distortion or failure is detected, the wearer should refer to the
manufacturer's advice for maintenance and replacement of
the battery.
• This earmuff is provided with electrical audio input. The user
should check correct operation before use. If distortion or
failure is detected, the user should refer to the manufacturer's
advice.
• This hearing protector limits the entertainment audio signal
to 82 dBA effective to the ear.
• In Canada, users of hard hats combined with earmuffs must
refer to CSA Standard Z94.1 on industrial protective
headwear.
• Operating temperature range: 0 °C (32 °F) to 50 °C (122 °F)
• Storage temperature range: –20 °C (–4 °F) to 55 °C (131 °F)
• Weight of hearing protector: Refer to Laboratory Attenuation
Tables A and B.
