INTRODUCTION
The SM1P/B is a state of the art hearing protection (ie protects against
harmful noise) communication system that allows you to retain
situational awareness whilst remaining in full contact with your team via
Short Range technology, as well as two-way radio or cellular device via
Bluetooth® or wired connection.
There are Intrinsically Safe variants of the product (“IS” and “Ex”) that
meet international standards for use in explosive gas environments.
Please see ratings on page 37 and 38.
Situational awareness is provided by processing technology and
environmental microphones mounted within the headset.
Contact through two-way radios is enabled by the SRCK6XXXXX* cable
assembly available separately. Cable numbers vary depending on the
two-way radio model. Please consult with the website for more
information.
*SRCK6XXXXX part numbers vary depending on the radio connector.

WEARING THE HEADSET
FIGURE 2

The SM1P B headset is designed to be worn with the headset sealing
around the ears. Specific examples of how to fit the headset around the
ears are covered in the next three pages. The fit does alter slightly
depending on what style of brace is used - headband, behind the neck or
mounted to a helmet directly.
The boom microphone should be placed approximately 5mm (1/4”) in
front of the mouth. Check to ensure the white dot or microphone label is
facing towards you. The orientation is essential as the microphone is
directional. If the microphone faces a different direction, this may lead to
a reduction in transmission quality.
The inline PTT has a rotatable clip behind it to allow it to attach to the
shirt / upper garment.
The inline PTT must be connected to the two-way radio using the multipin connector.
FITTING THE HEADSET
It is recommended that the wearer should ensure that;
• The ear muffs are fitted, adjusted and maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions
• The ear muffs are worn at all times in high noise conditions
If the above recommendations are not adhered to, the protection
afforded by the ear muffs will be severely impaired.
