WARNING TO USER – BATTLEPLUGS
1. BattlePlugs reusable earplugs must be fitted and worn correctly to provide effective protection. Wash or
clean hands before use. Plugs should be routinely washed with mild soap and warm water. CAUTION:
Remove with a slow twisting motion to break the seal. Due to the tight seal, rapid removal may damage
eardrum.
2. Use this laboratory-derived attenuation data for comparison purposes only. The amount of protection
afforded in field use often is significantly lower depending on how the protectors are fitted and worn.
3. Failure to follow all instructions will reduce the protection provided by the earplugs. However, no earplug
can completely protect the user from exposure to impulse sound and in particular to gunfire or weapons fire.
4. BattlePlugs must only be used as part of a hearing conservation program that complies with applicable local
safety and health regulations.
5. Overprotection can be dangerous. The wearer must be able to hear warning signals.
6. Wearers with hearing loss should exercise extreme caution.
7. It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the type of hearing protector and its NRR is appropriate forthe user in their particular workplace.
8. To select proper size tip choose the largest size that allows all flanges to fit comfortably inside the ear canal
for a good seal.
9. Use caution when working around machinery or other equipment to ensure neck cord does not becomecaught or entangled.
10. Failure to follow these warnings could result in increased risk of hearing loss,injury or death.
11. Although hearing protectors can be recommended for protection against the harmfuleffects of impulse
noise, the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) is based on the attenuation of continuous noise and may not be an
accurate indicator of the protection attainable against impulse noise such as gunfire. (Wording required by EPA)
12. No earplug can completely protect the user from exposure to impulse sound and inparticular to gunfire or
weapons fire. BattlePlugs when properly fitted and worn will reduce exposure to harmful levels of impulse
sound but cannot completely eliminatesuch exposure either through the ear canal or through bone
conduction. Hearing loss may still occur even with proper fitting and use of any impulse noise earplug.
13. Properly fitted passive slow recovery NRR 33 foam earplugs either alone or combined with high NRR
earmuffs will provide greater protection from impulse sound to the user than any reusable impulse earplug
but also cannot eliminate such exposure either through the ear canal or through bone conduction.
Accordingly, hearing loss may still occur as a result of sustained or repeated exposure to impulse sound.
However, slow recovery foam earplugs, either alone or with earmuffs, will not allow the user to hearcommands, approaching vehicles or other sounds the user may need to hear.

WARNING TO USER – CAMO FOAM AND GLIDE CAMO
1. Use these laboratory derived attenuation data for comparison purposes only. The
amount of protection afforded in field use often is significantly lower depending upon
how the protectors are fitted and worn.
2. Failure to obtain a proper fit will reduce effectiveness of hearing protectors and could
result in hearing loss or injury.
3. Over protection can be dangerous. The wearer must be able to hear warning signals.
4. Wearers with hearing loss should exercise extreme caution.
5. It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the type of hearing protector and its
rating is appropriate for the user in their particular workplace.
6. Failure to follow all instructions and warnings could result in increased risk of hearing
loss, serious injury or death.
7. Foam earplugs must only be used as part of a hearing conservation program thatcomplies with applicable local safety and health regulations.

WARNING TO USER – BATTLEPLUGS
1. BattlePlugs reusable earplugs must be fitted and worn correctly to provide effective protection. Wash or
clean hands before use. Plugs should be routinely washed with mild soap and warm water. CAUTION:
Remove with a slow twisting motion to break the seal. Due to the tight seal, rapid removal may damage
eardrum.
2. Use this laboratory-derived attenuation data for comparison purposes only. The amount of protection
afforded in field use often is significantly lower depending on how the protectors are fitted and worn.
3. Failure to follow all instructions will reduce the protection provided by the earplugs. However, no earplug
can completely protect the user from exposure to impulse sound and in particular to gunfire or weapons fire.
4. BattlePlugs must only be used as part of a hearing conservation program that complies with applicable local
safety and health regulations.
5. Overprotection can be dangerous. The wearer must be able to hear warning signals.
6. Wearers with hearing loss should exercise extreme caution.
7. It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the type of hearing protector and its NRR is appropriate forthe user in their particular workplace.
8. To select proper size tip choose the largest size that allows all flanges to fit comfortably inside the ear canal
for a good seal.
9. Use caution when working around machinery or other equipment to ensure neck cord does not becomecaught or entangled.
10. Failure to follow these warnings could result in increased risk of hearing loss,injury or death.
11. Although hearing protectors can be recommended for protection against the harmfuleffects of impulse
noise, the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) is based on the attenuation of continuous noise and may not be an
accurate indicator of the protection attainable against impulse noise such as gunfire. (Wording required by EPA)
12. No earplug can completely protect the user from exposure to impulse sound and inparticular to gunfire or
weapons fire. BattlePlugs when properly fitted and worn will reduce exposure to harmful levels of impulse
sound but cannot completely eliminatesuch exposure either through the ear canal or through bone
conduction. Hearing loss may still occur even with proper fitting and use of any impulse noise earplug.
13. Properly fitted passive slow recovery NRR 33 foam earplugs either alone or combined with high NRR
earmuffs will provide greater protection from impulse sound to the user than any reusable impulse earplug
but also cannot eliminate such exposure either through the ear canal or through bone conduction.
Accordingly, hearing loss may still occur as a result of sustained or repeated exposure to impulse sound.
However, slow recovery foam earplugs, either alone or with earmuffs, will not allow the user to hearcommands, approaching vehicles or other sounds the user may need to hear.

WARNING TO USER – CAMO FOAM AND GLIDE CAMO
1. Use these laboratory derived attenuation data for comparison purposes only. The
amount of protection afforded in field use often is significantly lower depending upon
how the protectors are fitted and worn.
2. Failure to obtain a proper fit will reduce effectiveness of hearing protectors and could
result in hearing loss or injury.
3. Over protection can be dangerous. The wearer must be able to hear warning signals.
4. Wearers with hearing loss should exercise extreme caution.
5. It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the type of hearing protector and its
rating is appropriate for the user in their particular workplace.
6. Failure to follow all instructions and warnings could result in increased risk of hearing
loss, serious injury or death.
7. Foam earplugs must only be used as part of a hearing conservation program thatcomplies with applicable local safety and health regulations.
