Safe Listening

Use of these earphones at full volume on portable music players
is within OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) for 10 ½ hours

(52 ½ hours per week). Because of the noise-isolating

per day
properties of the eartips (NRR=22 dB for 3-ange eartips and
NRR=27 dB for foam eartips) ambient (industrial) noise (up to
102 dB for 3-ange eartips or up to 108 dB for foam eartips) has
a negligible eect on overall noise dose.

The SAFETY Earphones have been tested in accordance with the
EN50332-2:2013 sound system equipment: Headphones and
earphones associated with personal music players — Maximum
sound pressure level measurement methodology.

The acoustic output of the SAFETY Earphones is more than 20 dB
below the maximum limit in EN 60950-1/A 12:2011 Information
technology equipment - Safety -- Part 1: General requirements.
Because of the noise-isolating properties of the eartips (SNR 27 to

28), ambient environmental noise up to 108 dB has a negligible
eect on overall noise dose.

The eartip that is most comfortable is the likely choice, but it must
seal well for maximum protection. Important: Sound quality,
full bass response and noise isolation all depend on a good eartip
seal in the ear canal.

All Etymotic eartips are designed to be safely inserted into normal,
healthy ear canals. Do not insert anything into your ear canal if you

have discomfort or foreign material in your ears.

Eartip Maintenance

Visually inspect your eartips before each use for signs of
discoloration (soiling) and note any changes in exibility. Eartips
that display any of these signs or other signicant wear should be
replaced. 3-ange eartips should be replaced every 3 to 6 months
with average use. For heavy use (8-16 hours/daily) they may need
replacement in 3-6 weeks.

Foam eartips typically need to be changed more frequently than
3-ange eartips. Individual experience will vary, depending on total
use time and environmental conditions.

• Examine eartips after each use.

• Do not immerse earphones in water.

• Do not clean with harsh chemicals. Alcohol is not recommended.

• 3-ange eartips can be removed and cleaned in mild detergent
before reattaching. Dry eartips thoroughly.

• Do not expose to extreme heat or moisture.

• Avoid dropping or hitting on a hard surface.

Warnings

Failure to follow these recommendations may severely reduce
the amount of hearing protection provided.

• Earphones should not be used where there is a risk that the
cables can be caught up during use.

• Secure connecting cables away from entanglement hazards.

• Eartips t ear canal diameters of 6-14 mm. See “Selecting

wn

an Eartip” section for details.

• Eartips must be tted, adjusted and maintained to the
manufacturer’s instructions to achieve the expected attenuation
and hearing protection.

• Use hearing protection at all times in noisy surroundings.

• Make certain that hearing protection provides adequate
protection for the noisy environment.

• Eartips are reusable. Regularly inspect the eartips to assure
their continued serviceability.

• This product may be adversely aected by certain chemical
substances. Further information should be sought from the
manufacturer.

Human ear canals are about an inch long and Etymotic eartips
are designed to seal deeply in the ear canal. This may feel slightly
uncomfortable at rst, but should become comfortable with
repeated use. Discontinue use if any discomfort persists.

Caution

In rare instances an eartip may come o in the ear canal when
removing the earphone. If this should occur and the eartip cannot

English

be easily removed, it is recommended that you promptly contact
an audiologist or other medical professional. A professional can use
blunt tweezers to remove the eartip.

Consult an audiologist or physician if you have excessive ear wax,
diculty inserting the eartips, or discomfort after prolonged use.

Be aware of the environment you are working in and know the
hazards of over protection as well as under protection.

Une écoute sécurisée

L’utilisation de ces écouteurs avec un volume maximum sur les lecteurs
de musique portables obéit aux limites d’exposition admissibles de
l’OSHA (PEL) pour 10 ½ heures par jour (52 ½ heures par semaine). En
raison des propriétés d’isolation phonique des embouts (NRR= 22 dB
pour les embouts 3-brides et NRR = 27 dB pour la mousse des embouts)
le bruit ambiant (industriel) ambiant (jusqu’à 102 dB pour les embouts
3-brides ou jusqu’à 108 dB pour les embouts en mousse) a un eet
négligeable sur la dose de bruit.

Les écouteurs SAFETY ont été testés conformément à la norme EN
50332-2:2013 relative aux équipements de systèmes sonores: Casques
et écouteurs associés à des lecteurs de musique personnels – Méthodol­ogie de mesure du niveau de pression acoustique maximum.

La sortie acoustique de l’écouteur SAFETY est en dessous de la limite
maximale de plus de 20 dB par rapport à la norme EN 60950-1/A
12:2011 relative aux équipements de technologie d’information - Sécu­rité - Partie 1: Exigences générales. En raison des propriétés d’isolation
phonique des embouts (SNR 27 à 28), le bruit ambiant atteignant 108
dB a un eet négligeable sur la dose de bruit.
