USER'S INSTRUCTIONS
BASIC LINE: ACTIVATING THE HEARING PROTECTOR/REPLACING BATTERIES (figure B)
The product must be fitted with 2 standard alkaline batteries 1.5 V AAA/LR03. The use of rechargeable batteries
such as NiMH 1.2 V or NiCd 1.2 V will reduce the operating time. The battery compartment is full integrated in
the hearing protector and does not have any buttons. To change the batteries, follow the instructions below
(figure B). Start by pulling the earmuff down as far as it will go (figure F). Remove the cushion by pulling it
straight out (figure B). Insert the batteries in the battery compartment. Make sure that the polarity of the
batteries is connected to the correct terminals (+) and (–) in the product (figure B1). Refit the insert and press
on the cushion. Make sure that the bulge of the cushion is facing towards the bottom. Carefully check that the
inserts and the cushion are correctly fitted so that noise reduction is not impaired. Note! Always switch off the
product before replacing batteries.
PRO LINE: ACTIVATING THE HEARING PROTECTOR/BATTERY INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT (figure C)
The hearing protector requires two standard alkaline 1.5V AAA/LR03 batteries. Rechargeable batteries, for
example NiMH 1.2 V or NiCd 1.2 V, should not be used as they may significantly reduce the operating time of
the product. The batteries are protected from moisture and dirt by our unique battery compartment. You can
easily install and replace batteries by following the instructions (figure C): Unscrew the battery cover. Insert
the first battery with the (–) pole facing inwards. Shake the earmuff lightly so that the battery falls into place
inside the earmuff. Then insert the second battery with the (+) pole facing inwards. Refit the battery cover.
Note! Always switch off the product before replacing batteries. Make sure that the batteries polarities are
inserted correctly and secure that the battery lid is completely tightened.
