USING HEADPHONES
For private listening, you can insert a
pair of stereo headphones (not sup-
plied) with a
1
/8-inch plug into the
PHONES jack.
Notes:
• Your local Radio Shack store
carries a wide selection of ste-
reo headphones.
• Connecting headphones auto-
matically disconnects the built-in
speaker.
LISTENING SAFELY
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use head-
phones.
• Set the volume to the lowest set-
ting 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 per-
manent 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 discomfort might still
damage your hearing.
TRAFFIC SAFETY
Do not wear headphones while oper-
ating a motor vehicle or riding a bicy-
cle. This can create a traffic hazard
and is illegal in some areas.
Even though some headphones are
designed to let you hear some out-
side sounds when listening at normal
volume levels, they still present a
traffic hazard.
