Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone or headphones.
• Do not use the earphone to listen to the WX alert siren test. The volume is not
adjustable and damage to your hearing could occur.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high volume listening can lead to
permanent hearing loss.
• Set the VOLUME to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening,
adjust the VOLUME to a comfortable level.
• 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 discomfort might still damage your hearing.
Connecting the Clone Cable
You can transfer the programmed data to and from another BC780XLT scanner using an
RS232C Cable (9 pin to 9 pin) (not supplied). Connect the cable between each scanner’s
REMOTE jacks. See "Clone Mode" on page 60. You can also upload or download the
programmed data to or from a PC using an optional PC interface kit available through your
local electronics store.
Connecting the Tape Recorder
You can use a standard tape recorder or a VOX (Voice Operated Control) recorder. To
connect the recorder to the scanner, connect a cable with a 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug from the
tape recorder’s remote jack to the TAPE OUT jack on the back of the scanner. (Your local
electronics store should carry a wide selection of cables and tape recorders.) Refer to the
"Record" section under "Additional Features" in the manual.
Remember!
• You must mark a channel, ID, talkgroup, or bank for Recording in order for this feature to
work. The LINE icon appears on all channels that have been properly marked.
• This feature does not work if your scanner is set with MUTE ON.
• The VOLUME control affects the Audio output. Do not set the volume on minimum. Make
a trial taping to be certain the volume levels are set correctly.
