h. 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.
i. If the requirements above are not adhered to, the
protection afforded by the hearing protectors will be
severely impaired.
EN 352 Safety Statements:
•
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 100 hours.
• This product may be adversely affected by certain
chemical substances. Further information should be
sought from the manufacturer.
• These earmuffs attached to head protection and/or
face protection devices are of “large size range”.
Earmuffs attached to head protection and/or face
protection devices complying with EN 352-3 are of
‘medium size range’, ‘small size range’ or ‘large size
range’. ‘Medium size range’ earmuffs will fit the majority
of users. ‘Small size range’ or ‘large size range’
earmuffs are designed to fit users for whom ‘medium
size range’ earmuffs are not suitable.

• The output of the audio circuit of this hearing
protector may exceed the exposure limit level.
• The entertainment audio signal does not exceed 82 dB
(A) for input voltage up to maximum value 300 mV. The
product shall not be used if it can’t be ensured that the
input voltage doesn’t exceed the maximum value.
2.2. CAUTION
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect
type.
• 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.

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 such as gunfire (wording
required by EPA).
