Radio Operation

Traffic Safety 

Do not wear headphones while operating a motor ve-
hicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic haz-
ard and could be illegal in some areas. Even though
some headphones let you hear some outside sounds
when listening at normal volume levels, they still can
present a traffic hazard.

USING THE BELT CLIP

To remove the belt clip, lift up the tab and slide it off in
the direction of the arrow. To attach the belt clip, slide
it into the slots on the back of the cassette player and
push up until it latches in place.
