Earphones

The lead connecting the earphones to your radio
acts as an aerial when plugged into the

Earphone

socket

. The lead should be extended as much as

possible to increase reception.

Note

: When using earphones it is normally not

necessary to extend the telescopic aerial.
1. Plug the earphones into the

Earphone socket

on the top of your radio.

2. Check that the

Volume level

is not too loud

before placing the ear-pieces into your ears.

IMPORTANT:

Do not switch on the radio with

the earphones connected and inserted in your
ear. Excessive sound pressure from earphones
can cause hearing loss.

To prevent possible hearing damage,
do not listen at high volume levels for
long periods.
