Warning: Use extreme caution when you install or remove an out- door antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! It could contact overhead power lines. If the antenna touches a power line, contact with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocu- tion and death. Call the power company to remove the antenna. DO NOT attempt to do so yourself.

CONNECTING AN EARPHONE/

HEADPHONES

For private listening, you can plug an optional earphone or mon- aural headphones (such as Cat. No. 33-175 or Cat. No. 20-210,

not supplied) into the jack on top of your scanner. This auto- matically disconnects the internal speaker. Your local Radio Shack store has a wide selection of earphones.

Note: In a noisy area, monaural headphones might provide more comfortable listening.

Listening Safely

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

Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listen- ing. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfort- able level.
