Noise Attenuation
APPROVAL: ISOtunes® LINK 2.0 is tested and approved in accordance with ANSI S3.19-1974 Specifications and the European Safety Standard EN 352-1 :2002, EN 352-6:2002, and
EN 352-8:2008.

ANSI
S3.19-1974
The level of noise entering a person’s ear, when ISOtunes® LINK 2.0 headphones are worn as directed, is closely approximated by the difference between the A-weighted environmental noise level and the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR). Improper fit of this device will reduce its effectiveness in attenuating noise. Consult the enclosed instructions for proper fitting.

• A1: Frequency (Hz)
• A2: Mean Attenuation (dB)
• A3: Standard Deviation (dB)

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

Example:

1. The surrounding noise level measured at the ear is 100 dB.
2. The NRR of ISOtunes® LINK 2.0 is 25 dB.
3. The noise level entering the ear is approximately equal to 75dB.

Please note that the 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.
