WARNING!

USING THIS SYSTEM AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE.
USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE.

In order to use this system safely , avoid prolonged listening at excessive sound pressure levels. Please use the following
guidelines established by the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) on maximum time exposure to sound
pressure levels before hearing damage occurs.

90 dB SPL at 8 hours
95 dB SPL at 4 hours

100 dB SPL at 2 hours

105 dB SPL at 1 hour

110 dB SPL at 1/2 hour

115 dB SPL at 15 minutes

120 dB SPL — avoid or damage may occur

It is difficult to measure the exact Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) present at the eardrum in live applications. In addition
to the volume setting on the PSM, the SPL in the ear is affected by ambient sound from floor wedges or other devices.
The isolation provided by the fit of quality earpieces is also an important factor in determining the SPL in the ear.

Here are some general tips to follow in the use of this product to protect your ears from damage:

1. Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.

2. Ringing in the ears may indicate that the gain levels are too high. Try lowering the gain levels.

3. Have your ears checked by an audiologist on a regular basis. If you experience wax buildup in your ears, stop using
the system until an audiologist has examined your ears.

4. Wipe the ear molds with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid infections. Stop using the ear molds if they are
causing great discomfort or infection.

FCC Statement. The P7R Receiver complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is

subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.

Licensing Statement. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Shure

Description

The Shure PSM700 Personal Stereo Monitor System is a frequency-agile, UHF
wireless, two-channel stereo, monitor system designed for onstage applications. The PSM
has several advantages over onstage loudspeaker monitors: it is less visible, has better
sound, allows freedom of movement, and reduces the chances of feedback. It is a versatile
system, designed for use in many different sound reinforcement applications: public
address, live music, theater, and electronic news gathering (ENG). The wireless system is
frequency compatible with other Shure UHF and VHF wireless systems.
