+### Manually suppress output
+
+If you are using [a pure import](/installation#pure-imports), you are running your tests in an
+environment that does not support `beforeEach` and `afterEach`, or if the automatic suppression is
+not available to you for some other reason, then you can use the `suppressErrorOutput` export to
+manually start and top suppress the output:
+
+```ts
+import { renderHook, suppressErrorOutput } from '@testing-library/react-hooks/pure'
+
+test('should handle thrown error', () => {
+  const restoreConsole = suppressErrorOutput()
+
+  try {
+    const { result } = renderHook(() => useCounter())
+    expect(result.error).toBeDefined()
+  } finally {
+    restoreConsole()
+  }
+})
+```
