ROLL & COMPRESS With clean hands, hold earplug between thumband forefinger as shown. Roll and progressively compress the entire tapered
end of the earplug to a small wrinkle-free cylinder.

INSERT To ensure fitting, reach hand over head and gently pull ear
upward and outward as shown. Insert compressed, tapered end of earplug
well inside ear canal. Hold 30-60 seconds until earplug expands. Release,then push in again for 5 seconds to ensure fit.
CORRECT FIT When properly inserted, the bottom edge of earplug islocated at the opening of the ear canal.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Training is required. Before first use, practice opening and closing cap while
plug is NOT in the ear canal.

To select proper size tip choose the largest size that allows all flanges to fit comfortably inside the ear canal for a good seal.

CAUTION: Improper fit and failure to wear at all times during exposure to loud noise, will reduce protection and resultin hearing loss. Do not use with cap open for protection against hazardous noise levels. Remove slowly by twisting to avoid
damage to eardrum. Plugs should be routinely washed with mild soap and warm water.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
When cap is open, this earplug can be used to reduce impulse noises, such as gunfire, while also allowing you to hear low
level noise. In closed cap position it can be used to help protect against continuous and impulse noises. Training is required.
Before first use, practice opening and closing cap while plug is NOT in the ear canal.

WARNING - ALWAYS WEAR WITH CAP CLOSED, WHEN USED AGAINST HAZARDOUS NOISELEVELS. (FIG. 1)

CAUTION: Improper fit and failure to wear at all times during exposure to loud noise, will reduce protection and result inhearing loss. Impulse noise will be louder with cap open than closed. Do not use with cap open during continuous highhazardous noise. Remove slowly by twisting to avoid damage to eardrum.

WHEN AWAY FROM HAZARDOUS NOISES AND IMPROVED HEARING IS NEEDED, WEAR WITHCAP OPEN. (FIG. 2)
INSERTING THE EARPLUG (FIG. 3)

456INCORRECT FIT A portion of the earplug not in the ear canal will
reduce effectiveness.

USER FIT CHECK In a noisy environment with earplugs inserted, cup hands overboth ears and release. If the earplugs are inserted correctly, you should not notice a
significant difference in attenuation. If a proper fit has not been obtained, move to aquiet area and repeat fitting instructions.
EARPLUG REMOVAL Remove earplug slowly. Use a gentle twisting motion togradually break the seal. Rapid removal may damage eardrum.

A. With clean hands,reach over the head and pull top of ear upwards.

NO NEED TO TAKE PLUG OUT TO OPEN OR CLOSE CAP
C. To open cap,use either thumb or index finger (depending on the orientation of the handle) and gently push out on the cap
latch (this may take practice) (Fig. 4) .
D. To close cap,use either thumb or index finger (depending on the orientation of the handle) to gently push the cap into thehandle until it is fully shut,(this may take practice) (Fig. 5) .
CORDING INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. 6)
E.Thread cord through hole #1.
F.Insert tip of cord into hole #2 to lock cord in place.

FOR USE AGAINST CONTINUOUS NOISE ALWAYS WEAR WITH CAP
CLOSED (FIG. 1)
A. Before inserting plug check to see that cap is fully closed shut (Fig 1).
B. Reach over the head and pull top of ear upwards (Fig 2).
C. With other hand grasp plug handle and gently push and wiggle into ear canal until a good and comfortable seal is made.
FOR USE AGAINST IMPULSE NOISE WHEN HEARING OTHER SOUNDS/COMMUNICATION IS ALSO NEEDED, WEAR WITH CAP OPEN (FIG. 3)
D. If plug is already being worn with cap closed, you do not need to take plug out to open cap (Fig 4).
E. To open cap, depending on the orientation of the handle, use either your thumb or index finger to gently push out on thecap latch while resting the other on the hinge, (this may take practice) (Fig 5).
F. To insert plug with cap open, reach over the head and pull top of ear upwards (Fig 6).
G. With other hand grasp plug handle and gently push and wiggle into the ear canal until plug is resealed and comfortable.
CLOSING CAP WITH PLUG IN EAR.
H. To close cap you do not need to take plug out.
I. Depending on the orientation of the handle, use either your thumb or index finger to gently push the cap into the handle
until it is fully shut, (this may take practice) (Fig 7).
J. Ensure that cord does not interfere with the hinged cap fully closing. Failure toclose the hinged cap completely may result in reduced noise attenuation. (Fig 7).

K. Step 1: Thread cord through hole #1.
Step 2: Insert tip of cord into hole #2 to lock cord in place.
CLEANING & INSPECTION
Wash with soap and water only, and dry thoroughly before re-wearing. Keep filter hole in tip and handle free of earwax, dirt and dust. Confirm filter holes areclear by holding plug up to light source. If you cannot see light shining through filter holes rewash and check again. If unable to clear filter holes, replace
earplugs. Inspect plugs for any tears or damage each time they are worn and replace immediately if necessary.
TIP REPLACEMENT
Pull off old plug tip. Perform CLEANING & INSPECTION as described above. Slide on new plug tip and make sure that the bottom of plug tip makes contact withthe base of the plug insert.

INFORMATION REQUIRED BY EPA: “The level of noise entering a person’s ear, when a hearing protector is worn as directed, is closely
approximated by the difference between the A-weighted environmental noise level and the NRR.”
EXAMPLE:“1. The environmental noise level as measured at the ear is 92 dBA.
2. The NRR is 33 decibels (dB).
3. The level of noise entering the ear is approximately equal to [92 dB(A) -33] 59dB(A).”
CAUTION: “For noise environments dominated by frequencies below 500 Hz the C-weighted environmental noise level should be used. Improper
fit of this device will reduce its effectiveness in attenuating noise. Consult the enclosed instructions for proper fit. Although hearing protectors can berecommended for protection against the harmful effects of impulsive noise, the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) is based on the attenuation ofcontinuous noise and may not be an accurate indicator of the protection attainable against impulsive noise such as gunfire.”ATTENUATION DATA FOR DISPOSABLE AND REUSABLE EARPLUGSBATTLEPLUGSFOAM ROLL DOWNREUSABLEGLIDESPARKPLUGS®/SPARKPLUGS® METAL DETECTABLE
