Connecting Headphones
For private listening, you can plug a mono earphone or headset into the Headphone Jack on the back of your scanner. This automatically disconnects the internal speaker. Note that the sound is not in stereo.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these earphone or headphones guidelines:
•Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high- volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
•Set the volume to the lowest setting before listening. Turn on the scanner, and adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
•After you set the 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.
