3M Peltor WS ProTac XPI MT15H7 WS6 Serie Mode D'emploi page 10

CAUTION:
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
See "Spare parts/accessories".
• Do not charge batteries in temperatures above 40 °C
(104 °F).
• Use only 3M™ PELTOR™ USB charger FR09 and USB
wall adapter FR08 with rechargeable battery pack ACK053.
• With batteries, there is a risk of fire and burns. Do not open,
crush, heat above 55 °C (131 °F), or incinerate.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard, or rechargeable batteries.
• For noise environments dominated by frequencies below
500 Hz the C-weighted environmental noise level should be
used.
• Always use product-specific 3M replacement parts. Use of
unauthorized replacement parts may reduce the protection
you receive from this product.
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 very loud 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/hearing.
• 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).
• This earmuff is provided with level-dependent attenuation.
The wearer should check correct operation before use. If
distortion or failure is detected, the wearer should refer to the
manufacturer's advice for maintenance and replacement of
the battery.
• This earmuff is provided with electrical audio input. The
wearer should check correct operation before use. If distortion
or failure is detected, the wearer should refer to the
manufacturer's advice.
• This hearing protector limits the entertainment audio signal
to 82 dBA effective to the ear.
• In Canada, users of hard hats combined with earmuffs must
refer to CSA Standard Z94.1 on industrial protective
headwear.
• Operating temperature range: 0°C (32 °F) to 50 °C
(122 °F)
• Storage temperature range: –20 °C (–4 °F) to 55 °C (131 °F)
APPROVALS
Hereby, 3M Svenska AB declares that the Bluetooth
communication is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU
and other appropriate directives to fulfill the requirements for
the CE marking.
3M Svenska AB also declares that the PPE type headset is
in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/425.
The applicable legislation can be determined by reviewing the
Declaration of Conformity (DoC) at www.3M.com/peltor/doc.
The DoC will also show if some other type-approvals are also
applicable. When retrieving your DoC, please locate your part
number. The part number of your earmuffs can be found at
the bottom of one cup. An example can be seen in the picture
below.
A copy of the declaration of conformity and additional
information required in the directives can also be obtained by
contacting 3M in the country of purchase. For contact
information, see the last pages of this user instruction.
The PPE is audited annually by the Finnish Institute of
Occupational Health, Notified Body No. 0403,
Topeliuksenkatu 41 b, FI-00250 Helsinki, Finland and type
approved by PZT GmbH, Notified Body No. 1974,
Bismarckstrasse 264 B, DE-26389, Wilhelmshaven,
Germany. The product has been tested and approved in
accordance with EN 352-1:2002, EN 352-3:2002,
EN 352-4:2001/A1:2005, EN 352-6:2002, EN 352-8:2008.
Do NOT dispose your product as unsorted municipal waste!
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that all EEE
(Electrical and Electronic Equipment), batteries, and
accumulators must be disposed of according to local law by
the use of available return and collection systems.
LABORATORY ATTENUATION
The attenuation rating (SNR/NRR) was obtained with the
device powered off.
European Standard EN 352
Research suggests that users may receive less noise
reduction than indicated by the attenuation value(s) on the
packaging due to variation in fit, fitting skill, and motivation of
the user. Refer to your applicable regulations for guidance on
how to adjust label values and estimate attenuation. In
addition, 3M strongly recommends fit testing of hearing
protectors.
