2. Set RADIO/P.A. to P.A.

front of the radio.
4. Be sure POWER is set to ON, then
speak into the microphone in a nor-
mal voice.

USING THE EARPHONE
Follow these steps to attach the sup-
plied earphone so you can listen to the
radio without disturbing others. Connect-
ing the earphone disconnects the
speaker.
1. Turn
VOLUME toward MIN until it
stops.
2. Insert the earphone’s 1/8-inc h (3.5-
mm) plug into the EAR jack on the
front of the radio.
3. Put the ea rphone in your ear and
adjust
VOLUME to a comfortable lis-
tening level.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use an earphone.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to
a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high vo l-
ume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do no t
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 an earphone while operat-
ing a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.
This can create a traffic hazard and
could be illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones let you
hear some outside sounds when listen-
ing at normal volume levels, they still
can present a traffic hazard.
