CONNECTING AN
EARPHONE/
HEADPHONES
For private listening, you can connect
an earphone or headphones with a
1 /
8
-
inch plug (such as Cat. No. 33-175 or
20-210) to the
jack on the front of
the scanner. This automatically dis-
connects the internal speaker.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use an earphone
or headphones.
• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high-
volume listening can lead to per-
manent hearing loss.
• Set VOLUME to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After
you begin listening, adjust
VOL-
UME to a comfortable level.
• Once you set VOLUME , do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a
volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your
hearing.
