USE OF EARPLUGS

• The hearing protector is intended to protect the wearer from hazardous noise levels. The wearer should ensure that the earplugs are fi tted, adjusted and maintained in accordance with this Instruction Manual. Any other uses are not intended and therefore not allowed.
• Always wear the earplugs when in a noisy environment, without interruption. Alpine Hearing Protection is not liable for any damage arising from misuse. Check the working order of the earplugs regularly and store them in the original, clean packaging.

NOISE REDUCTION

• When this device is worn as directed, the level of noise entering a person’s ear is approximated by the diff erences between the A-weighted environmental noise level and the lesser and greater NRRs. Caution: for predominantly low frequency noise environments in
• which the difference in the measured C-weighted and A-weighted noise levels (dBCdBA) exceeds 3 dB, the user is directed to the enclosed graph of the variability of noise reduction with noise spectra to determine the level of protection.

LIFETIME EARPLUG

• The reusable earplugs can be used approximately 100 times. This product may be adversely aff ected by certain chemical substances. Further information should be sought from the manufacturer.
• DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY Hereby, Alpine Hearing Protection, declares that the hearing protector ClearTone is in compliance with the PPE regulation (EU) 2016/425. The full text of the EU Declaration of Conformity is available at the following internet address: www.alpine.eu/doc

SAFETY WARNING

• Do not place the earplug too deep in the ear. Improper fi t, improper use or failure to follow the instructions of this device will decrease noise reduction eff ectiveness, increase the risk of hearing damage and affect the lifespan of the reusable earplugs. Sudden or rapid removal of hearing protection may cause damage to the eardrum. Do not remove plugs from the ear by pulling the connecting cord. Do not use a connecting cord if there is a chance of getting entangled.

Noise Reduction Rating

• The Noise Reduction Rating shows the range of protection expected from this protector in normal usage. The lower number is the amount of protection possible for most users (80%) to achieve or exceed. The higher number is the amount possible for a few motivated proficient users (20%) to achieve or exceed. Higher numbers denote greater protection.
