hygiene covers, etc.) that could interfere with the seal of the
earmuff cushion and reduce the protection of the earmuff.
• Do not bend or reshape the headband or neckband, and
ensure there is adequate force to hold the earmuffs firmly in
place.
• Earmuffs, and in particular cushions, may deteriorate with
use and should be examined at frequent intervals for
cracking and leakage, for example. When used regularly,
replace the ear cushions and foam liners at least twice a
year to maintain consistent protection, hygiene, and
comfort.
• The output of the electrical audio circuit of this hearing
protector may exceed the daily limit sound level. Adjust the
audio volume to the lowest acceptable level. Sound levels
from any connected external device such as 2-way radios
and phones may exceed safe levels and must be
appropriately limited by the user. Always use external
devices at the lowest sound level possible for the situation
and limit the amount of time you are exposed to unsafe
levels as determined by your employer and applicable
regulations. If your hearing seems dulled or you hear a
ringing or buzzing during or after any sound exposure
(including gunfire), or for any other reason you suspect a
hearing problem, go to a quiet environment immediately
and consult a medical professional and/or your supervisor.
• If the requirements above are not adhered to, the protection
afforded by the hearing protectors will be severely impaired.

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 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• In Canada, users of hard hats combined with earmuffs
must refer to CSA Standard Z94.1 on industrial protective
headwear.
