Low Battery Indication

When the battery voltage is less than 3.0V, the low battery indication will be displayed:

The radio will not operate in a low battery condition.

5.7

Audio Output (Headphone)

The ADVENTURER includes an audio output jack. This allows you to listen with headphones or
connect to an auxiliary input source, such as an amplifier.

CAUTION

: Guard your ears against hearing damage. When listening with headphones, start at the

lowest volume and gradually increase until you can hear it comfortably and clearly.

Read this Important Information before Using Your Earbuds:



Avoid extended play at very high volume as it may impair your hearing.



If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or shut off the unit.



Keep the volume at a reasonable level even if your headset is an open-air
type designed to allow you to hear outside sounds. Please note that excessively high volume
may still block outside sounds.

5.8 Resetting the Unit

If the unit experiences a power surge or electric shock, it is possible that the internal micro-controller
may lock up and the unit will not respond to any commands from the panel controls. In this event, use
a straightened paper clip, toothpick or similar objects to press the RESET button located underneath
the battery in the battery compartment. The reset operation clears the system memory to factory
default, and all of your previous settings will be erased.

CAUTION:

Do not use a sharp or pointed object to press the reset button. It may damage the reset

switch inside the unit.
