E Important User Information
u This headset is providing ambient sound awarness with a volume limited to a level of 82
(+/2) dB(A). Check correct operation before use. If distortion or failure is detected, refer to
the manufacturer's advice for maintenance and replacement of the battery.
u Performance may deteriorate with battery usage. While headset communication is
always possible also with low battery or without any battery, the intercom volume
control and the ambient awareness only work with a correctly functioning battery.

provides passive hearing protection and intercom works without volume control.
