Preventing damage to health and accidents

▷For reasons of hygiene, only use the headphones on intact skin.

▷Before using the headphones, adjust the volume to a low level.

Avoid listening at high volume levels for long periods of time to

prevent hearing damage.

▷The product generates stronger permanent magnetic fields

that could cause interference with cardiac pacemakers,

implanted defibrillators (ICDs) and other implants. Always

maintain a distance of at least 3.94"/10 cm between the product com-

ponent containing the magnet and the cardiac pacemaker, implanted

defibrillator, or other implant.

Calibration specifications and intervals

For exact measurements, the audiometry headphones and the audiometer

used must be calibrated by an authorized specialist during putting into

operation and regularly during operation, at least once a year.

If you replace the audiometry headphones and/or the audiometer (even

with the same type), the components must be recalibrated. This also

applies to extreme climatic changes.

Connecting the HDA 300 to an audiometer

▷Connect the red plug of the headphones to the right channel and the

blue plug to the left channel of the audiometer.

Preparing the HDA 300 for calibration

The reference threshold sound pressure levels can be found on the fold-out

front cover page or on the HDA 300 product page at www.sennheiser.com.

1. Adjust the HDA 300 as shown in the diagram.

2. Place the ear cup on the center of the coupler so that the distance to the

top and bottom as well as to the left and right is identical.

For easy alignment of the ear cup on the coupler plate of the ear sim-

ulator, you can use the optional adapter ring. Information can be

found on the HDA 300 product page at www.sennheiser.com.

Using the HDA 300

8 | HDA 300

Using the HDA 300

1. Pull new HZH 350 hygienic pads over the right and the left ear pad to

ensure hygiene when using the HDA 300 on the test person.

2. Take off glasses, earrings and similar objects which could interfere with

the proper fit of the headphones. Put the headphones on the test person

so that the red ear cup Rcovers the right ear and the blue ear cup L

covers the left ear.

3. Adjust the ear cups and the headband of the headphones so that

– the ears are completely covered by the ear pads,

– the test person feels even, gentle pressure around the ears,

– a snug fit of the headband on the head is ensured.

WARNING

Danger of hearing damage due to high volumes!

Listening at high volume levels for long periods of time can

lead to permanent hearing defects.

High volume levels can lead to cross-hearing (high sound pres-

sures are transmitted unintentionally from one ear to the other

ear) and falsify the measurement results.

▷Before putting the headphones on and before toggling

between audio sources, adjust the volume to a low level.

▷Do not continuously expose yourself or the test person to

high volume levels.

▷Use narrow-band masking noise to avoid cross-hearing.

If the headband cannot be adjusted smaller to fit the head (see

page 11), use the XL headband paddings for small head sizes (avail-

able as accessories).

Storing the HDA 300

HDA 300 | 9

To ensure hygiene for each test person after use:

▷Remove the hygiene pads (disposable) and dispose of them.

▷Disinfect the skin-contacting parts of the headphones (see page 10).

Storing the HDA 300

▷Do not store the headphones stretched out for long periods as this can

widen the headband and reduce the contact pressure of the head-

phones.

▷Make sure that the headphone cable does not cross any passageway to

avoid anyone tripping over the cable.

▷Handle the headphones and the cable with care. Do not twist, damage

or kink the cable.
