Instruction manual

HEADSET AND NOISE ATTENUATING HEARING PROTECTORThis hearing protector allows communication and music streaming via Bluetooth®. The headset features wireless communication and music streaming via units that are compatible with Bluetooth® and A2DP.Warning!This hearing protector is intended to protect the wearer from hazardous noise levels when fitted in accordance with this user instruction. Any other use is not intended and therefore not permitted. It is important that the instructions for use are followed.Failure to do so could result in a drastic decrease of noise attenuation and may lead to serious injury.Read these user instructions carefully!

  • The hearing protector must be worn at all times in noisy environments to provide full protection! Only 100% wear time provides full protection.
  • The audibility of warning signals at a specific workplace may be impaired due to over-protection when using a hearing protector with too high a noise attenuation erformance in relation to the noise environment.
  • When using hearing protection with entertainment audio features, remember to adjust the volume when working in noisy environments so that any warning signals etc. can be heard.
  • In some individuals, excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones may cause hearing loss.
  • This hearing protector features the level-limiting of audio signals from the speakers to a maximum of 82 dB(A) at the ear.
  • Do not use this product in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
  • This product may be adversely affected by certain chemical substances. Further information should be sought from the manufacturer.
  • Ensure that the hearing protectors are regularly inspected for serviceability.
  • The hearing protector’s noise attenuating properties can dramatically decrease when used with, for example, thick eyeglass frames, ski masks/balaclavas, etc.
  • The use of perspiration/hygienic protection over the sealing rings can reduce the hearing protector’s noise attenuation properties.
  • Earmuffs, and in particular cushions, may deteriorate with use and should be examined at frequent intervals for cracking and leakage.
  • Immediately discard the product if it shows any signs of cracking or damage.
  • The hygiene kit should be changed at least twice a year. Make sure you choose the correct hygiene kit for your hearing protector.
  • Clean the product with mild soap. You must be sure that the detergent you use does not irritate the skin. Do not dip the product in water.

Approved helmet combinationsThese earmuffs should be fitted to and used only with the industrial safety helmets listed in table G.G:1) ManufacturerG:2) ModelG:3) AdapterG:4) Warning! These helmet-mounted hearing protectors are suitable for persons with medium to large head size circumference (56-64 cm) and with medium to large height from the top of the head to the center of the ear canal. A smaller height may lead to improper fit and reduce the hearing protector´s noise attenuation properties.Earmuffs complying with EN 352-3 are of medium size range or small size range or large size range. Medium size range earmuffs will fit the majority of wearers. Small size range or large size range earmuffs are designed to fit wearers for whom medium size range earmuffs are not suitable.Hereby, Hellberg Safety AB declares that the hearing protector “Xstream” is in compliance with PPE regulation EU 2016/425 and the RED Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following Internet address: www.hellbergsafety.com/docFor traceability, refer to the serial number label placed on the bottom of the ear cup.This product is covered by the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) 2012/19/EU.Do not dispose of your product as unsorted municipal waste. Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with national regulations. Use a local recycling system for electronic products.Information required by E.P.A. (US)The level of noise entering a person’s ear, when the 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 25 decibels (dB).
  3. The level of noise entering the ear is approximately equal to 67 dB.

Caution. For noise environments dominated by frequencies below 500 Hz, the C-weighted environmental noise level shall be used. Warning. Improper fit of this device will reduce its effectiveness in attenuating noise. Although hearing protectors can be recommended for protection against the harmful effects of impulsive noise, NRR is based on the attenuation of continuous noise and may not be an accurate indicator of the protection attainable against impulsive noise such as gunfire.FCC Compliance StatementThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
