Program
Settings:
P1:
General
Program
one
is
for
use
in
everyday
situations
from
enhancing
a
speaker’s
voice
when
you
are
seated
in
the
last
row
of
a
church
or
auditorium
to
enhancing
the
sounds
of
nature
during
a
leisurely
stroll
through
the
outdoors.
Use
program
one
to
protect
your
hearing
while
cutting
the
grass,
using
power
tools,
or
target
shooting.
P2:
Nature
Program
two
is
adjusted
to
further
enhance
the
high
frequency
sounds
of
nature.
Distant
birds
will
sound
like
they
are
sitting
on
your
shoulder
and
you
will
be
the
first
to
hear
faint
calls
from
game
like
elk
and
turkey.
Program
two
reacts
in
milliseconds
to
protect
you
hearing
from
the
loud
report
of
a
rifle
or
shotgun.
P3:
Loud
Events
Protect
your
hearing
while
attending
loud
events
like
rock
concerts,
Nascar
races,
Tractor
pulls,
etc.
Do
your
ears
ring
after
attending
loud
social
events?
That
is
a
sure
sign
of
noise
exposure
and
a
precursor
to
hearing
loss.
Program
3
is
tuned
to
provide
a
full
spectrum
of
sound.
This
lets
you
experience
the
rich
natural
sounds
of
music
and
the
rumble
of
the
Nascar
while
protecting
your
hearing.
Unlike
sound
plugs
that
distort
sound,
P3
provides
a
natural
full
sound
experience.
The
strong
low-­‐end
response
of
P3
makes
it
ideal
for
enhancing
low
frequency
game
sounds
like
deer
grunts.
P4:
Power
Boost
Program
four
is
adjusted
to
provide
a
zoom
effect
as
it
instantly
increases
power
and
focuses
on
high
frequency
sounds.
With
the
push
of
a
button
hear
the
faintest
game
sounds
at
great
distances.
Hearing
protection
is
not
compromised
with
the
increased
power
provided
in
P4.
Loud
sounds
are
limited
to
safe
levels.

able
to
correct
this
