Introduction

Information for these operating instructions

Congratulations on the purchase of your new device.

You have clearly decided in favour of a quality product. These operating instructions are a component of the Circumaural Ear Protectors PKG 82 A1 (hereafter designated as the device). They contain important information in regard to safety, use and disposal. Before using the product, familiarise yourself with all of these operating and safety instructions. Use the product only as described and only for the specified areas of application. In addition, pass these documents on, together with the product, to any future owner.

Copyright

This documentation is copyright protected. Any duplication and/or reprinting, entirely or partially, as well as reproduction of illustrations, also in modified form, is only permitted with written consent from the manufacturer.

Limited liability

The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damage caused by failure to observe these instructions, improper use, incompetent repairs, making unauthorized modifications or for using unapproved replacement parts.

Intended use

These Circumaural Ear Protectors have a facility for the reproduction of audio signals for entertainment purposes. These Circumaural Ear Protectors limit the sound pressure level of a sound signal at the ear to 82 dB(A).

This device is intended exclusively for non-commercial use to

• Listen to radio stations and audio material,
• Reduce hazardous levels of noise at the ear.

This device is not intended for any other use or for uses beyond those mentioned. Claims of any kind for damage resulting from unintended use will not be accepted. The operator alone bears the risk.

Warning symbols used

In these extant operating instructions the following warnings are used:

DANGER

A warning of this danger level indicates a threateningly dangerous situation

If the dangerous situation is not avoided, it could lead to death or serious physical injury.

Pay heed to the instructions in this warning to avoid the death of or serious physical injury to people.

WARNING

A warning of this danger level signifies a possible dangerous situation.

If the dangerous situation is not avoided it can lead to injuries.

Follow the directives in this warning to avoid personal injuries.

TAKE NOTE

A warning of this danger level signifies possible property damage.

If the situation is not avoided it can lead to property damage.

Follow the directives in this warning to avoid property damage.

NOTICE

A notice signifies additional information that assists in the handling of the device.

Safety

In this chapter you will receive important safety information regarding the handling of the device. This device complies with the statutory safety regulations. Incorrect usage can lead to personal injury and property damage.

Risk of hearing damage

WARNING

Risks as a result of extremely high sound levels!

Loud music can lead to hearing damage.

• Avoid extreme sound levels, especially over extended periods of time, when you are using these Circumaural Ear Protectors.
  These Circumaural Ear Protectors have a level-dependent adjustment which works slowly and is therefore not suitable for impulse noise. These Circumaural Ear Protectors are therefore unsuitable for gunsport enthusiasts and hunters.

Risk of accidents

WARNING

Danger through impaired perception!

• Acoustical warning and indication signals and environmental noises can sound different when you are wearing these Circumaural Ear Protectors. Make yourself aware of how these signals deviate in their sound so that you can recognise the signals in the appropriate situations.
  The perception of warning signals in certain workplaces may be affected when using the sound reproducing system.
  Do not use these Circumaural Ear Protectors when operating an automobile, a bicycle or in any other situation in which impaired environmental sound perception could present a risk to yourself or others.

Interaction with batteries

WARNING

Danger from improper use! The risk of explosions and leakages exists!

For safe handling of batteries observe the following safety instructions:

Do not throw batteries into a fire.
Never short-circuit batteries.
Do not attempt to recharge batteries.
Regularly check the condition of the batteries. Leaking battery acid can cause permanent damage to the device. Special caution should be applied when handling damaged or leaking batteries. Danger from acid burns! Wear protective gloves.
- Store batteries in a place inaccessible to children. When swallowed seek immediate medical attention.
If you do not intend to use the device for an extended period, remove the batteries.

Basic Safety Instructions

For safe handling of the device observe the following safety information:

Before use check the device for visible external damage. Do not put into operation a device that is damaged or has been dropped.
- Damaged cables or connections should be replaced by authorised qualified personnel or by the Customer Service department.
This device is not intended for use by individuals (including children) with restricted physical, physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiencies in experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or receive from this person instruction in how the device is to be used.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.
A repair to the device during the warranty period may only be carried out by a Customer Service department authorised by the manufacturer otherwise no additional warranty claims can be considered for subsequent damages.
- Do not carry out any unauthorised reconstruction or customisation to these Circumaural Ear Protectors.
Protect the device from moisture and liquid penetration.

Do not operate the device close to open flames (e.g. candles).
Avoid direct solar radiation.
These Circumaural Ear Protectors are to be set up, adjusted, cleaned and maintained as per the instructions in this manual. If they are not, the protective effect of the Circumaural Ear Protectors could be negatively affected.
The full protective effect is assured only if the Circumaural Ear Protectors are worn during the entire period spent in noisy environments.
The Circumaural Ear Protectors, and especially the sealing rings, may show signs of aging over time. The sealing rings should be checked regularly for cracks and permeability. Only in this way can the full protective effect be achieved.
This product can be damaged by certain chemical substances. Further information should be requested from the importer.
The performance may deteriorate due to depletion of the batteries. The typical duration in continuous use which may be expected from the batteries of these Circumaural Ear Protectors is approximately 48 hours.
The sound output from the circuit for the sound regeneration may exceed the external noise level.
