ISOtunes IT-03 Pro Bluetooth Hearing Protector
Location of Controls
Aware Technology
This product includes Aware Technology. This is a microphone technology that allows the user to hear the world around them, but always at a safe listening level. When ambient noise breaches a safe listening level, the microphone technology immediately responds and attenuates to a safe level. This feature automatically turns on when the product turns on. Adjusting the Aware Volume is easy. Simply press the Aware Volume Up (3) and Down Button (4).
Charging
The earplugs are charged with a micro-USB charger and hold up to 10 hours of music and talk time between charges.
- Please charge with the included micro-USB cable by plugging it into the Charging Port (8).
- Charging voltage should not exceed 5v.
- While the cable is plugged into the Charging Port (8), the LED Indicator Light (7) will let you know if the battery is charging or fully charged.

Fitting
Models
IT-38 ISOtunes PRO Aware , IT-39 ISOtunes PRO Aware EN 352
IT-39 ISOtunes PRO Aware EN 352 is EN 352 certified. IT-38 ISO-tunes PRO Aware
is not EN 352 Certified, but has the same attenua-tion performance. Full
manual can be found at ISOtunes.com/PROAwareManual
Important
Please read, understand, and follow all safety information. This hear-ing
protector provides level-dependant functionality, safety-related audio input,
and an entertainment audio facility.
Fitting
The ISOtunes PRO Aware comes with 4 sets of TRILOGY™ foam eartips (XS,S,M,L)
and 1 set of triple flange silicone eartips. Choose the size that fits best in
your ear canal. Remember, the snugger the fit, the better the noise blocking.
The silicone eartips are intended for use when NOT in noisy situations.
ISOtunes® TRILOGY™ foam eartips have a threaded core and the sound port on the
earbud is also threaded.
- Twist the foam eartip counterclockwise to remove and clockwise to place on a new foam eartip.
- Carefully compress the foam eartip on the stem/sound port.
- Insert the foam/eartip into your ear as deeply as is comfortable and hold for 5 seconds while the foam expands.
- Repeat with the second eartip.
Hint: To open your ear canal wider, lift the top of your ear up and away from your head, as shown in the diagram.
Noise Attenuation
ISOtunes PRO Aware is tested and approved in accordance with ANSI S3.19-1974,
EN 352-2:2002, EN 352-7:2020, EN 352-9:2020, and EN 352-10:2020
Specifications.
ANSI
S3.19-1974
The level of noise entering a person’s ear, when these earbuds 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)
Example:
- The surrounding noise level measured at the ear is 100 dB.
- The NRR of ISOtunes PRO Aware is 26 dB.
- The noise level entering the ear is approximately equal to 74dB.
Please note that the NRR is based on the attenuation of continuous noise and may not be an accurate indicator of the protection attain-able against impulsive noise, such as gunfire.
EN 352
The product has been tested and approved in accordance with PPE standards: EN
352-2:2002, EN 352-7:2020, EN 352-9:2020 and EN 352-10:2020.
RED
The product has been tested and approved in accordance with RED Standards:
ETSI EN 300 328 V2.2.2 (2019-07), EN 62479:2010, ETSI EN 301 489-1 V2.2.3
(2019-11), ETSI EN 301 489-17 V3.2.4 (2020-09), ETSI EN 301 489-1 V2.2.3

Hereby, Haven Technologies declares that the personal protective equipment
ISOtunes PRO Aware is in compliance with the Regula-tion (EU)2016/425 and the
electrical circuit and radio equipment is in compliance with the Directive
2014/53/EU.
The full text of the declaration of conformity is available at: www.

- B1: Frequency (Hz)
- B2: Mean Attenuation (dB)
- B3: Standard Deviation (dB)
- B4: Assumed Protection Value (APV) (dB)
- H = Hearing protection estimation for high frequency sounds (f ≥ 2000Hz)
- M = Hearing protection estimation for medium frequency sounds (500 Hz < f < 2000Hz)
- L = Hearing protection estimation for low frequency sounds (f ≤ 500Hz)
Criterion level is the sound pressure level in dB(A) of the noise en-vironment resulting in 85 dB(A) effective to the ear while wearing hearing protectors. Three different criterion levels are defined related to the frequency content of the noies.
- C1: H = criterion level for high-frequency noise
- C2: M = criterion level for medium-frequency noise
- C3: L= criterion level for low-frequency noise
The earplugs are provided with level-dependent attenuation. The user should check correct operation before use. If distortion or fail-ure is detected, the user should refer to the manufacturer’s advice for maintenance and replacement of the battery.
Warning: the performance may deteriorate with battery usage.
Warning: The output of the audio circuit of this hearing protector might exceed the exposure limit level.
The typical period of continuous use that can be expected from the built in battery is up to 11 hours.
SafeMax™ Technology
ISOtunes PRO Aware incorporates SafeMax™ Technology, therefore its volume output has been limited to 85 decibels ( IT-38), and 79 decibels (IT-39). ISOtunes® devices with SafeMax™ Technology are OSHA and ANSI compliant and, when designated, meet the Europe-an Safety Standard EN 352. The earplugs provide audio signal sound pressure level limitation. The earplugs limit the entertainment audio signal to less than 82 dB(A) effective to the ear.
Battery and Charging
The built in battery can be charged with the included charging cable. This battery is not replaceable. Plug the cable into the charging port on the controller and a 5 Volt usb port. Low battery is indicated audibly by a warning tone. The approximate battery level can be seen in the Bluetooth menu of most smartphones. The typical period of continuous use that can be expected from the built in battery is up to 11 hours.
Aware Technology™
This product includes Aware Technology. This is a microphone technology that
allows the user to hear the world around them, but always at a safe listening
level. When ambient noise breaches a safe listening level, the microphone
technology immediately responds and attenuates to a safe level. This feature
automatically turns on when the product turns on. Aware volume is easy. Simply
press the Aware Volume Up and Down But-ton.
Cleaning and Maintenance
TRILOGY™ foam eartips are disposable. To ensure peak perfor-mance, we
recommend replacing TRILOGY™ foam tips every three months or when they become
soiled. In order to purchase additional tips, please go to
www.ISOtunes.com or
www.ISOtunes.co.uk TRILOGY™ foam eartips should
be regularly inspected for deteri-oration, cracking, or other damage. The
eartips can be cleaned in between uses with a damp cloth and water. Overtime,
the eartips should be replaced. Clean your ISOtunes PRO Aware by gently wiping
them with a clean damp cloth. Mild soap can be applied to the cloth. Do not
use abrasive cleaning solvents to clean the headset. Avoid scratching the
headset with sharp objects, as this may cause dam-age. Keep the headset away
from high temperature areas.
WARNINGS
ISOtunes PRO Aware does an excellent job of blocking outside noise. As such,
this product should NOT be used in environments where users need to be fully
aware of their surroundings for personal safety reasons. For example, do NOT
use them while driving a car or riding a motorcycle. Similarly, do NOT use
them when riding a bicycle outside. The user is solely responsible for
ensuring that this product is used ONLY in safe environments. This product may
be adversely affected by certain chemical sub-stances, such as bug spray and
sunscreen. Further information may be sought from the manufacturer. These
earplugs should not be used where the connecting cord is at risk of being
caught up during use. The performance may deteriorate with battery usage.
Recommendations
The wearer should ensure the product is properly cleaned and dry before and
after use. Storage should be in a clean and dry location between -20 °C and 50
°C. The battery should not be fully dis-charged before long term storage.
The wearer should ensure that:
- The hearing protector is fitted, adjusted, and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
- The hearing protector is worn at all times in noisy environments..
- The hearing protector is regularly inspected for serviceability.
If these recommendations are not adhered to, the protection afforded by the
hearing protector will be severely impaired.
