Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for choosing the 3M
The LEP-100 earplug helps provide hearing protection in loud environments while enabling environmen-
tal listening in quiet environments. Welcome to the next generation of protective communication!
Safety Information
Please read, understand, and follow all safety information in these instructions prior to using the
LEP-100 earplug. Retain these instructions for future reference.
n Warning:
• If the information and recommendations contained herein are not adhered to, the protection
afforded by the earplugs will be severely impaired.
• Improper fit of this device will reduce its effectiveness in attenuating noise. Consult the
enclosed instructions for proper fit.
• Misuse or failure to wear hearing protection at all times when exposed to hazardous
noise may result in hearing loss or injury.
• These earplugs should not be used where there is a risk that the connecting cord could be
caught up during use.
• Performance may deteriorate with battery usage. The typical period of continuous use that
can be expected from the earplug battery is approximately 16 hours.
• The output of the level-dependent circuit of this hearing protector may exceed the daily limit
sound level.
Caution:
• Hearing protectors should be used in conjunction with a hearing conservation program that also
includes monitoring, audiometric testing, training and recordkeeping. Consult an Occupational
Health and Safety professional for more information.
• When worn according to the User Instructions, this hearing protector helps reduce exposure to
both continuous noises, such as industrial noises and noises from vehicles and aircraft,
as well as very loud impulse noises, such as gunfire. It is difficult to predict the required
and/or actual hearing protection obtained during exposure to impulse noises. For gunfire,
the weapon type, number of rounds fired, proper selection, fit and use of hearing protection,
proper care of hearing protection, and other variables will impact performance. If your hearing
seems dulled or you hear a ringing or buzzing during or after any noise exposure (including
gunfire), or for any other reason you suspect a hearing problem, your hearing may be at
risk. To learn more about hearing protection for impulse noise, visit www.3M.com/hearing.
• Only use compatible 3M
without a correctly attached 3M PELTOR eartip.
• This earplug 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
manufacturer's advice for maintenance and replacement of the battery.
Note:
• Ensure that the earplugs are fitted, adjusted and maintained in accordance with these user
instructions.
• Regularly inspect the earplugs for proper functionality.
