-inch (3.5-mm) mini

ing. You can also connect an external or pillow-type speaker
(not supplied) to this jack. Your local RadioShack store sells a
wide variety of speakers.
Insert the earphone’s or speaker’s
1
/
8
-inch (3.5-mm) plug into
the
EAR
jack. This automatically disconnects the internal speak-
er.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use
the earphone.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended
high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Set the volume to its lowest level before you begin listen-
ing. After you put in the earphone, adjust the volume to a
comfortable listening level.
• Do not increase the volume once you have established a
comfortable listening level. Over time, your ears adapt to
the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your hearing.
