USER INFORMATION SUPREME
PRODUCT FEATURES
The Supreme ear muffs features foldable headband (fig. A), and are designed to be worn
over-the-head. This product is equipped with two microphones (fig. A) that pick-up and
reproduce external sound in the speakers located on the inside of the ear muffs, and a
keyboard which controls the electronic functions(fig. A).
BATTERY INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT (fig. B)
The product is equipped with two standard 1.5 V AAA/LR03 batteries. Rechargeable bat-
teries, for example NiMH 1.2 V or NiCd 1.2 V, should not be used as they may significant-
ly reduce the operation life of the product. The batteries, which are completely enclosed
to protect against moisture and dirt, are housed in the unique battery compartment
located in the cup which does not feature the keyboard. When installing or replacing
batteries follow the instructions below (fig. B):
• Hold the cup upside down. Unscrew the battery cover (fig. B1).
• Insert the first battery with the (-) pole facing inwards (fig. B2).
• Shake the cup lightly so that the battery falls into place and may not be visible (fig. B3).
• Insert the second battery with the (+) pole facing inwards (fig. B4).
• Refit the battery cover (fig. B5).
Note! Ensure the battery poles (+ /-) are correctly aligned.

Volume
Adjust the volume up by pressing button and down by pressing the button.Each
pressing adjusts the volume in one step, equal to 6 dB per second. If the button is
pressed and held for more than one second, the volume is adjusted in 6dB steps. A short
confirmation tone is heard at each volume adjustment. Upon reaching the minimum or
maximum volume setting, the tone signal characteristics will vary.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
When the remaining battery life reaches approximately 40 hours, one long warning
tone is heard approximately 10 seconds after the electronic function is switched-on.
See ’Tone Signals’ below.
BATTERY SAVE FUNCTION
To maximise battery life the Supreme is equipped with a special battery save function.
If no control buttons are pressed, the battery save function comes into effect after 4
hours and the electronic function is automatically switched-off. However, approximate-
ly 1 minute before the shutdown a short tone is heard as a warning that the ear muffs
will be switched-off.
See ’Tone Signals’ below.
Press any of the control buttons ( or ) to_prolong active mode for a further four
hours.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS (fig. D)
The Supreme is designed to be worn in over-the-head mode and adjusted for size by
pulling the headband (fig. D1). Brush excess hair out from beneath the cushions with
your hand. Place the cups over your ears and adjust the headband and cups to a com-
fortable position (fig. D2). Be certain that the cushions seal tightly around the ears with
no interference from objects such as respirator headband or arms of glasses in order to
obtain the best performance. Make sure the headband is not stored in a stretched posi-
tion and that the cushions are not pressed together when the ear muffs are not in use.
UNFOLDING AND FOLDING THE EAR MUFFS (fig. E)
To unfold, pull the headband up to it’s maximum position whilst holding the cups (fig.
E1).
To fold, press on top of the headband until the headband touches the top of the cups
(fig. E2).
AUDIO INPUT (fig. C2)
The Supreme has one audio input, a 3.5 mm stereo jack (fig. C2), for connection to an
external source such as a communication/hunting radio, cellular telephone, CD play-
er/radio etc.
When the audio signal does not exceed 102 mVrms (rms = the equivalent average power
5
PM080-02.qxp 06-02-28 12.32 Sida 5

of the signal), the noise level inside the cup will not exceed 82 dB(A).
CAUTION:
1. When the specified limits are exceeded there may be a risk of hearing impairment.
2. This hearing protector may not be used to restore entertainment sound.
MAINTENANCE
• The user must ensure that:
- The ear muffs are fitted, adjusted and maintained in accordance with the manufactur-
er’s instructions.
- The ear muffs are worn at all times in a noise hazard environment.
• Ear muffs and in particular cushions may deteriorate with use and should be examined
at frequent intervals for cracking and leakage, for example.
• At the beginning of each shift the cushions of the ear muffs should be inspected for
damage or distortion. If any distortion or damage is observed the cushions must be
replaced (fig. F). Replacement cushions and special inserts are contained in the Sordin
60084 hygiene pack. Finally, check the headband to ensure it is flexible and still main-
tains sufficient force to hold the ear cups firmly to the side of the head.
• If the ear muffs can not be cleaned or damaged component can not be replaced, dis-
pose of the ear muffs and obtain a new set.
• Long term use of the ear muffs may create some moisture build-up inside the cups.
Although the circuit board is specially coated to help prevent any possibility of corrosion
damage it is advisable to remove the inserts regularly to allow the electronic compo-
nents to dry out overnight (fig. F)
• Do not subject the product to rough handling which can damage the electronics.
• NOTE! The cups must not be immersed in water.
STORAGE
When not in use, store the ear muffs in a clean dry atmosphere, away from direct sun-
light.
The product shall be stored within the temperature range -20˚C to +70˚C.
If the product is stored for a prolonged period it is recommended to remove the batter-
ies from the battery compartment to prevent damage. Store the product in an unfolded
position in order to avoid damage to the cushions.
WARNING!
• The Supreme Ear Muffs is provided with level-dependent attenuation. The wearer
should check correct operation before use. If distortion or failure is detected the wearer
should refer to the manufacturers advice for maintenance and replacement of the bat-
tery.
• Performance may deteriorate with battery usage.The typical period of continuous use
that can be expected from the ear muff battery is in the region of 600 – 700 hours.
• The output of the level-dependent circuit of Supreme may exceed the external sound
6

• When calculating the effective attenuation of the Supreme Ear Muffs, consideration
should be given to the output signals of the restoration system. The calculated A-
weighted sound level inside the ear cup should not exceed 85dB.
• Hearing protectors can interfere with vital communication and emergency sound.
Always ensure the product is matched to the wearer and the work environment.
• This product may be adversely affected by certain chemical substances. Further infor-
mation should be sought from the manufacturer.
• In order to avoid long-term damage to the cushions this hearing protector should be
