Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone or headphones.

Do not use an earphone to listen to the WX alert siren test or when in SAME Alert mode. The alert tone’s vol- ume is not adjustable and damage to your hearing could occur.

Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

Set the VOL (VOLUME) to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the VOL (VOLUME) to a comfortable level.

Once you set the VOL (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.
