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.

4. EXPLANATION OF STANDARD TABLES
The attenuation rating was obtained with the device powered
off.
4.1. EUROPE
3M strongly recommends personal fit testing of hearing
protectors. Research suggests that users may receive less
noise reduction than indicated by the attenuation label
value(s) on the packaging due to variation in fit, fitting skill,
and motivation of the user. Refer to applicable regulations
and guidance on how to adjust attenuation label value(s). In
the absence of applicable regulations, it is recommended that
the attenuation label value(s) be reduced to better estimate
typical protection.
