USING EARPHONES OR HEADPHONES
You can use the built-in speaker to listen to the radio. Or, you can use
stereo earphones or headphones (not supplied) with
1 /
8
-inch plug to listen
privately.
Insert the earphones’ plug into the radio’s jack.
Note: The built-in speaker disconnects when you connect earphones or
headphones.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, following these guidelines when you use ear-
phones or headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After
you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause dis-
comfort might still damage your hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear earphones/headphones while operating a motor vehicle or
riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in
some areas.
Even though some earphones/headphones let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a
traffic hazard.
