2.2 Protecting your Hearing with SafeTone™
WARNING! Because a headset is held rmly against your ear, sudden, loud sounds pose a potential hearing risk. Furthermore,
the more you use a headset each day, a lower maximum volume is highly recommended to protect you against
possible hearing loss. The BH870 Headset provides eective measures to protect you against hearing-loss risks.
Please read the section that follows to learn more.
SafeTone™ Has Two Components — PeakStop™ and Intellitone™
- PeakStop™ Acoustic-Shock Protection
The BH870 Headset automatically suppresses sudden loud sounds, thereby protecting your ears from acoustic shock.
- Intellitone™ Noise-Exposure Protection
BH870 Headset oers a choice of four protection levels (all of which include the standard PeakStop protection described above).
These features protect your hearing by preventing acoustic shock and limiting the maximum noise exposure from the headset
during your workday.
The table below summarizes the protection levels available.
