  4. Ensure that no tufts of hair, spectacle arms, or similar are able to push the hearing protectors away from the ear
  5. Adjust the volume to a comfortable level
  6. Switch to the required station
  7. Switch radio mode to OFF when the ear protection is taken off

Standards observed
Regulation (EU) 2016/425, Directive 2004/108/EC, EN 352-1:2002, EN 352-8:2008, EN 55013:2017, EN 55020:2007
Important
Noise protection is guaranteed only when worn correctly. Bending the headband or altering it in any other way can impair the product‘s positioning and therefore its noise protection.

Recommendations

  • do not store near sources of heat or in excessive humidity
  • only use in accordance with the instructions.
  • always wear when located/working near sources of noise
  • maintain regularly
  • temperature ranges: -10°C to +40°C
  • ambient humidity: 0% – 98%

Care instructions

  1. Only use warm soapy water and a damp cloth or similar (no alcohol or solvents). Allow the foam inlay to dry thoroughly.
  2. Check the ear padding regularly to ensure it is still functional (e.g. damage to the protective shell or deformed or hardened padding).
  3. The ear protectors can be easily dismantled for cleaning or repair.

Changing the battery

  1. Switch the device off
  2. Press the blade of a flat screwdriver against the tab on the underside of the shell without the antenna and separate the shell from the housing.
  3. Insert the batteries (align the polarities +/- correctly)
  4. Close the shell (fit the underside in first and then allow the upper side to engage)
