CONNECTIONS
You can listen to your CD player by con-
necting earphones/headphones or am-
plified speakers to the player’s PHONES
jack, or by connecting a home audio or
autosound system to the CD player’s
LINE OUT jack.
Note: If the jacks on your equipment do
not match the plugs on the supplied Y-
cable, check with your local RadioShack
store for the proper cable adapter.

CONNECTING

EARPHONES/

HEADPHONES

For private listening, you can plug a pair
of stereo earphones or headphones with
a 1/8-inch plug (not supplied) into the
PHONES jack on the CD player.
Your local RadioShack carries a wide
variety of earphones and headphones to
use with your CD player.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use earphones or
headphones.
• S et the volu me to t he lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to
a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high vol-
ume 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 vol-
ume level that does not cause dis-
comfort might still damage your
hearing.

Traffic Safety

Do not wear earphones or headphones
while operating a motor vehicle or riding
a bicycle. This can create a traffic haz-
ard and could be illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones and
headphones let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume
levels, they still can present a traffic haz-
ard.
