For more information about the contents of the technical data, refer to the list that follows:

• F = Frequencies at which attenuation is measured.
• Mf = Mean value.
• Sf = Standard deviation.
• APV (Mf-Sf) = Assumed Protection Value.
• H = High frequency attenuation value (predicted noise level reduction for noise where LC-LA = -2 dB).
• M = Medium frequency attenuation value (predicted noise level reduction for noise where LC-LA = +2 dB).
• L = Low frequency attenuation value (predicted noise level reduction for noise where LC-LA = +10 dB).
• SNR = Single Number Rating (the value that is subtracted from the measured C-weighted sound pressure level, LC, in order to estimate the effective
• A-weighted sound level inside the ear. Responsible manufacturer: Husqvarna AB, SE-561 82 Huskvarna, Sweden, tel: +46-36-146500.

Sound level

The FM radio mode and Headset mode have a maximum equivalent sound level of 82 dB (A).

Materials

Technical data

The output level of the audio circuit of this hearing protector may exceed the exposure limit. 352-8 :

• The emuts provides audio signal sound pressure level in.
• The earmuffs provides audio signal sound pressure level limitation and limits the entertainment audio signal to 82 dB(A).

The level of noise entering a person’s ear, when hearing protector is worn as directed, is closely approximated by the difference between the A-weighted environmental noise level and the NRR.

Example:

1. The environmental noise level as measured at the ear is 92 dBA.
2. The NRR is 21 decibels (dB).
3. The level of noise entering the ear is approximately equal to 92 dB(A) – 21 dB(A).

CAUTION: For noise environments dominated by frequencies below 500 Hz the
C-weighted environmental noise level should be used. Improper fit of this device will reduce its effectiveness in attenuating noise. Consult the enclosed instructions for proper fit (in example this manual). 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.

Hearing protection Class 5 tested to AS/NZS 1270. When selected, used and maintained as specified in AS/NZS 1269, these protectors may be used in noise up to 110 dB(A) assuming an 85 dB(A) criterion. A lower criterion may require a higher protection class. Testing accoring to ANSI S3.19 1974, AS/NZS 1270:2002 and CSAZ94.2-2014 by Michael & Associates, Inc., 2766 W.
