Aware TechnologyTM
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) w ill let you know if the battery is charging or fully charged.

The 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 Itunes PRO Aware comes with 4 sets of TRILOGY™ foam ear tips (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 ear tips are intended for use when NOT in noisy situations.B ISOtunes® TRILOGY™ foam ear tips have a threaded core and the sound port on the earbud is also threaded.

Twist the foam ear tip counterclockwise to remove and clockwise to place on a new foam eartip.
Carefully compress the foam ear tip on the stem/sound port.
Insert the foam/ear tip into your ear as deeply as is comfortable and hold for 5 seconds while the foam expands.
Repeat with the second ear tip.

Hint: To open your ear canal wider, lift the top of your ear up and away from your head, as shown in the diagram.

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing ISOtunes PRO Aware professional noise-isolating earbuds. These earbuds have been specifically de- signed to protect against harmful noise – allowing you to block out much of the surrounding noise so you can listen to your music or talk on the phone with less interruption. This product has been tested and meets the ANSI standards for a hearing protector, with a Single Number Rating (SNR) of 33 dB and a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 26 dB. Full testing details are available in the Noise Attenuation section of this booklet.

Noise Attenuation
Itunes 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 attainable 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 (2019-11), ETSI EN 301 489-17 V3.2.4 (2020-09)EN 55032:2015, EN 55035:2017
Hereby, Haven Technologies declares that the personal protective equipment ISOtunes PRO Aware is in compliance with the Regulation (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. ISOtunes.co.uk/EU-declaration-of-conformity.

B1: Frequency (Hz)
B2: Mean Attenuation (dB)
B3: Standard Deviation (dB)
B4: Assumed Protection Value (APV) (dB)
B5: 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 environment 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 failure 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
Itunes 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 Button.

Cleaning and Maintenance

TRILOGY™ foam ear tips are disposable. To ensure peak performance, 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 ear tips should be regularly inspected for deterioration, cracking, or other damage. The ear tips can be cleaned in between uses with a damp cloth and water. Over time, the ear tips 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 damage. Keep the headset away from high-temperature areas.

WARNINGS
Itunes 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 substances, 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 discharged before long-term storage.
The wearer should ensure that:
