your ear canal. Remember, the snugger
the fit, the better the noise blocking. The
silicone eartips are not tested for noise-
attenuation and should not be used in
noisy environments.
Fitting
1. Carefully compress the foam eartip
on the stem/sound port.
2. Insert the eartip into your ear as
deeply as comfortable
3. Slightly rotate earbud until it is

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing ISOtunes®
FREE Aware True Wireless Noise-
Isolating Earbuds. These earbuds have
been specifically designed for use in
noisy environments – allowing you to
block out much of the surrounding
noise so that you can listen to your
6
music or talk on the phone with less
interruption.
Controls
[See the Quick Start Guide]
Only charge your ISOtunes FREE Aware
with a Maximum 5 Volt charger. Using
a charger higher than 5 Volts could
be dangerous and may damage your
ISOtunes product. Be especially careful
with "quick charge" or "turbo charge"
chargers, which often supply 9, 12, or
15 Volts. Your ISOtunes FREE Aware
cannot be charged at voltage levels
above 5 volts.
Noise Attenuation APPROVAL
This product has been tested to the
European Safety Standard EN352-2:2020
and the ANSI S3.19-1974 standard for a
hearing protector, with a Single Number
Rating (SNR) of 32 dB and a Noise
Reduction Rating (NRR) of 25 dB.
ANSI
S3.19-1974
The level of noise entering a person's
ear, when ISOtunes® FREE Aware
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:
1. The surrounding noise level
measured at the ear is 100 dB.
2. The NRR of ISOtunes® FREE Aware
is 25 dB.
3. The noise level entering the ear is
approximately equal to 75 dB.
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
Silicone eartips are NOT tested for
SNR. Under EN 352, they are not
recommended for use as hearing
protection in noisy environments.
The product has been tested and
approved in accordance with PPE
standards: EN 352-2:2020, EN
352-7:2020, EN 352-9:2020 and EN
352-10:2020.
The earplugs are provided with
level-dependent attenuation and
safety-related audio input Check correct
operation before use. If distortion
or failure is detected, refer to the
troubleshooting advice.
The typical period of continuous use
that can be expected when fully charged
is 13 hours. Battery life performance
may deteriorate beyond this time and
with normal usage.
The output of the audio circuit of the
hearing protector may exceed the
exposure limit level.
Please note, ISOtunes FREE Aware
provides an entertainment audio facility.
The earplug provides audio signal sound
EN
pressure level limitation which limits
the entertainment audio signal to 85
dB(A) effective to the ear. This limit is
maintained for Bluetooth signal inputs
which are standard to the Bluetooth
A2DP, HFP, and HSP specifications.
The audibility of warning signals at a
specific workplace may be impaired
while using the entertainment facility.
AS/NZS 1270
The reported attenuation will be
obtained only if the protector is in good
condition and worn as directed by
AS/NZS 1269.3.

SafeMax™ Technology
ISOtunes® FREE Aware incorporates
SafeMax™ Technology, therefore its
volume output has been limited to 85
decibels (IT-15), or 82 decibels (IT-16).
ISOtunes® devices with SafeMax™
Technology are OSHA and ANSI
compliant and, when designated, meet
the European 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.
