2.2. CAUTION
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
• Always use product-specific 3M replacement parts. Use of
unauthorized replacement parts may reduce the protection
you receive from this product.
• Only use AA or AAA non-rechargeable (as applicable) or
3M™ PELTOR™ Ni-MH rechargeable LR6NM or LR03NM
(as applicable) batteries. These rechargeable batteries
might not be available in all markets.
2.3. NOTE
• When worn according to these User Instructions, this
hearing protector helps reduce exposure to both continuous
noises, such as industrial noises and noises from vehicles
and aircraft, as well as impulse noises, such as gunfire. It is
difficult to predict the required and/or actual hearing
protection obtained during exposure to impulse noises. For
gunfire, the weapon type, number of rounds fired, proper
selection, fit and use of hearing protection, proper care of
hearing protection, and other variables will impact
performance. To learn more about hearing protection for
impulse noise, visit www.3M.com.
• This hearing protector is 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.
• This hearing protector is provided with safety-related audio
input. 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.
• This hearing protector limits the entertainment audio signal
to 82 dB(A) effective to the ear.
• In Canada, users of carriers combined with earmuffs must
refer to CSA Standard Z94.1 on industrial protective
headwear.
• Operating temperature range: –20°C (–4°F) to 50°C (122°F)
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or
rechargeable batteries.
• To properly dispose of the battery, follow local solid waste
disposal regulations.
• Attention – Product imagery is for illustration only.
2.4. U.S. EPA REQUIRED STATEMENTS
Improper fit of this device will reduce its effectiveness in
attenuating noise. Consult the enclosed instructions for
proper fit.
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
(wording required by EPA).
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.
2
Example:
1. The environmental noise level as measured at the ear is
92 dB(A).
2. The NRR is 23 decibels (dB).
3. The level of noise entering the ear is approximately equal
to 69 dB(A).
CAUTION: For noise environments dominated by frequencies
below 500 Hz the C-weighted environmental noise level
should be used.
3. APPROVALS
All of the approvals referred to in this section might not apply
