• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high
volume listening can lead to
permanent 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 use an earphone with your
transceiver when operating a motor
vehicle or riding a bicycle in or near
traffic. Doing so can create a traffic
hazard and could be illegal in some
areas.
Even though some earphones let you
hear some outside sounds when
listening at normal volume levels, they
can still present a traffic hazard.
USING AN OPTIONAL
HANDSTRAP
You can attach an optional handstrap
(not supplied) to the transceiver. Snap
the clip onto the hole at the side of the
transceiver. Or, slide the hand strap’s
small loop under the hole at the side of
the transceiver. Then pull the strap’s
large loop through the small loop.
