WALKER'S HD Power Elite Manual

Hearing Enhancement & Protection

Increases Hearing up to 9 times by amplifying high frequency sounds with 50 decibels of power.

Protects Hearing using a Sound Activation Compression (SAC) circuit combined with an earplug helps protect hearing from loud sounds such as muzzle blasts. Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 29dB is among the highest in the industry.

Adjustable Frequency Tuning (AFT) focuses on specific sound frequencies for crystal-clear reception in any situation.

Weighs less than ¼ oz. and rests comfortably behind either ear, with or without eyeglasses.

4 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.

Installing the Battery

Remove sticker from battery. To insert battery, open battery compartment by pulling down on the rim of the compartment door. The battery is held in place by a small lip on the bottom of the compartment. Place the battery into the compartment so that the (+) sign side of the battery is facing up; when the battery is inserted correctly, compartment door will close with ease. A #13 Mercury or Zinc Air battery is recommended.

With the unit facing this direction, the "+" sign on the battery goes opposite the lip on the batter compartment door. Also, inside the unit is a red dot identifying the "+" side.

NOTE: A weak battery may cause the unit to buzz or hum.

Button Cell Batteries are Dangerous if Swallowed

• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Discard batteries very carefully.
• Never allow children to play with batteries.
• Never change batteries in front of children.
• Never put batteries in your mouth for any reason, as they are slippery and easy to swallow by accident.
• Always check medication before swallowing, as batteries have been mistaken for tablets.

Fitting Instructions

Ear Plug Information: Our Foam Ear Plug was designed as a "One Size Fits All" – if you experience problems or would like a more comfortable fitting plug, please contact Walker's Customer Service at 877-269-8490.

1. Place HD Power Elite over either ear.
   
2. Inserting ear plug into ear by squeezing and rolling plug between fingers, it will compress and gradually expand after insertion. Position sound tube in upward direction so it extends past the ear hook. Mark sound tube approx. 1/8" above the tip of the ear hook. Cut off excess tube at mark. Tubing too long will cause the unit to fall off the ear. Tubing too short will cause the ear plug to pull out of the ear.
   
3. While holding ear hook between thumb and forefinger, push the sound tube onto the ear hook; you may need to trim the tube and repeat this process to achieve a comfortable fit.

Turning the Unit On / Off

After inserting the battery, close the door completely to turn the unit on. Turn the unit off by opening the battery door to the first stop (click).

Operating the Volume Control

Increase the volume on the HD Power Elite by pressing the top of the Volume Control toggle. Decrease the volume by pressing the bottom of the Volume Control toggle. NOTE: The HD Power Elite has a built-in "safety" circuit, which limits the output of the instrument to a maximum of 115dB SPL.

• Once the battery door is completely shut, you will hear the unit turn on by 4 upscale tones. (The unit has 19 levels of volume.)
• Each time you press the Volume Control toggle either higher or lower, you will hear a single tone.
• Once you've reached either the maximum or minimum limit, you will hear a double tone.
• Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.

Adjusting the Program Settings

You can change the Program settings on the HD Power Elite to what best fits your environment.

• Once the battery door is completely shut, you will hear the unit turn on by 4 upscale tones.
• Press and hold down the Volume Control toggle to switch between settings. You will hear ONE beep for P1: General, TWO beeps for P2: Nature, THREE beeps for P3: Loud Events and FOUR beeps for P4: Power Boost.
• Once you've reached the setting you desire, adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.

Operating the AFT

The AFT (Adjustable Frequency Tuning) is located directly above the volume control toggle switch.

• Insert the enclosed screwdriver in the bottom center of the ADT pop-up hinged door.
• The AFT circuit is a setscrew marked NH (Normal – High).
• With the AFT set screw in the 7:00 position the emphasis is on the lower end of the high frequencies. By turning the AFT set screw to the right (clockwise) you are changing the emphasis to the higher frequencies, with the maximum setting at the 5:00 position.

To find the best setting for you, turn the setscrew to the desired reception. Different conditions and environments may need different settings.

Complications, Which May Arise

If conditions such as irritation, inflammation and pain arise, they are normally due to pressure applied from the earplug on a particularly sensitive area of your ear. You may easily be able to correct this by trimming the earplug at the point of irritation. For an actual allergic reaction, or any other unusual conditions, consult your physician.

Storing the HD Power Elite: When the unit won't be used for an extended period of time, remove the battery and place the unit in its carrying case for storage in a cool, dry location.

Batteries (Avg. Life 360 Hrs): After extended use of your battery, the unit sound volume will rapidly get weaker, and may become noisy and ineffective in operation. This indicates that the battery should be replaced. Always remove the battery if your unit is not going to be used for a period of days.

If Your Elite HD Power Whistles: Whistling/squealing may sometimes occur as you cup your hand over your ear and adjust the volume control. This action directs sound leaking from the earplug into the microphone, resulting in a whistle. This should disappear when you take your hand away. If not, check to make sure the earplug is inserted properly.

In the event a battery swallowed, immediately contact:
The National Button Battery Ingestion Hotline
(202) 625-3333 for counsel or treatment
