LABORATORY ATTENUATION
Explanation of attenuation tables:
protectors. Research suggests that users may receive less
noise reduction than indicated by the attenuation label
and motivation of the user. Refer to applicable regulations
for guidance on how to adjust attenuation label values. In
the absence of applicable regulations, it is recommended
that the SNR be reduced to better estimate typical
protection..
European Standard EN 352
A:1 Frequency (Hz)
A:2 Mean attenuation (dB)
A:3 Standard deviation (dB)
A:4 Assumed protection value, APV (dB)
A:5
H = Hearing protection estimation for high frequency
M = Hearing protection estimation for medium frequency
sounds (500 Hz < ƒ < 2000 Hz).
L = Hearing protection estimation for low frequency

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

Headband
B:1 Adjust the height of the cups by sliding them up or
down while holding the headband in place.
B:2 The headband should be positioned across the top of
the head as shown and should support the weight of the
earmuff.
Neckband
B:3 Place the cups in position over the ears.
B:4 Keep the cups in position, place the head strap on top
of your head and lock it tight in position.
B:5 The head strap should be positioned across the top of
your head and should support the weight of the headset.
Helmet Attachment
B:6 Insert the helmet attachment in the slot on the helmet
and snap it into place (B:7).
B:8 Work mode: Press the headband wires inwards until
you hear a click on both sides. Make sure that the cups
and the headband wires do not press on the edge of the
helmet when in work mode as this could reduce the noise
attenuation of the earmuff.
B:9 Ventilation mode: To switch the unit from work mode to
ventilation mode, pull outward on the ear cups until you
hear a click. Avoid placing the cups against the helmet
(B:10) as this prevents ventilation.
