USING EARPHONES

For private listening, you can con- nect a pair of earphones (not sup- plied) with a 1/8-inch plug. Your local Radio Shack store carries a wide se- lection of earphones.

Insert the earphones’ 1/8-inch plug into the PHONES jack on the side of the SCR-99.

Note: Connecting earphones auto- matically disconnects the built-in speaker.

LISTENING SAFELY

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use earphones.

Set the volume to the lowest set- ting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

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

Once 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.

TRAFFIC SAFETY

Do not wear earphones while operat- ing a motor vehicle or riding a bicy- cle. This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas.

Even though some earphones are designed to let you hear some out- side sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still present a traffic hazard.
