Airing out as follows:
- Carrying time x 2 times as a rest period for airing (= 16h ventilation for 8h wearing time)
- The room temperature should be at least 64°F (18°C) degrees
- The repository should be well ventilated (air conditioning)
By continually picking up and releasing the sweat, the Hygiene Kit consumes itself over time. Therefore it loses his function over time, and the moisture is transferred to the board.
Recommendation: The Kits should be replaced every six months to prevent damage to the headset!
Due to the high degree of standardization, most 3M Peltor replacement kits are available across the various product lines, e.g., ComTac, ProTac, SportTac, etc. and are interchangeable due to the design.
However, that does not mean that the protective effect is given to the same extent. 3M only guarantee for protection if the respective headset uses the replacement kits suitable for the series.
