USING HEADPHONES

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

To connect the headphones, insert the headphones’ 1/8-inch plug into the PHONES jack.

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

Listening Safely

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

•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 permanent 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 headphones while oper- ating a motor vehicle or riding a bicy- cle. This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas.

Even though some headphones are designed to let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal vol- ume levels, they still present a traffic hazard.
