stereo to maintain or improve the sense of direction. The function is designed
for use in environments where it is desirable that ambient sounds can be
heard, e.g., warning signals, conversation, traffic, etc.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
The Supreme is designed to be worn in behind-the-head mode. Brush
excess hair back and out from beneath the cushions with your hand as
much as possible. With the neckband behind the head, place the ear
cups so as to completely enclose the ears. Be certain that the cushions
seal tightly against the head with no interference from objects such as
respirator headbands or spectacle frame, in order to obtain the best
performance. Adjust the net over the head so the hearing protector don't
fall off.
Note! Do not pull the net to tight because it will affect the cushions
seal, the net shall only hold the hearing protector on place, not pull
the hearing protector upwards.
MAINTENANCE
The outside of the muff and the sealing ring can easily be cleaned with
soap and water. Ear muffs and in particular cushions may deteriorate
with use and ageing and should be inspected regularly for cracks and
leakage. The cushions are filled with foam and are replaceable. Worn or
damaged parts are easily replaced (figure D). Use only hygiene kits from
the manufacturer, designed for electronics, order number 60089. The
hygiene kit should be replaced at least twice a year for standard use to
ensure that the noise attenuation performances are maintained. Certain
chemical substances may adversely affect this product. Further
information should be sought from the manufacturer.
The user must ensure that the hearing protector:
- fit properly and are adjusted and maintained in compliance with our
instructions
- is used all the time in noisy environments
- is inspected regularly to ensure good condition.
If the above recommendations are not adhered to, the protection
afforded by the earmuffs can be severely impaired. Moisture may occur
inside the cups if used for long periods. To avoid long-term affects of
moisture on the electronic components it is recommended that the
acoustic absorbent be regularly removed to allow the muffs to dry, e.g.,
overnight (figure F) When removing the sealing ring and absorbent take
great care not to touch the electronics board or cables. Changes in
position of cables could cause disturbance in the system. Do not subject
the hearing protector to rough handling, which can damage the
electronics.
The earmuffs must not be immersed in water!
STORAGE
When the hearing protector is not in use, the neckband should not be
extended or the sealing rings compressed. Keep the muffs dry and clean
and keep them in normal room temperature. Do not allow the hearing
protector to lie in direct sunlight. If the product is to be stored for a longer
period it is recommended that the batteries be removed from the battery
holder to prevent damage. Store the product in an unfolded position in
order to avoid damage to the cushions.
If the above recommendations for the hearing protectors are not
adhered to the attenuation values ability could deteriorate
considerably.
