USING HEADPHONES

Sometimes headphones can capture the subtle difference between signals and the surrounding noise that often occurs at night. Be sure that the headphones (not supplied) have a 1/8-inch plug. Insert the plug into the jack on the left of the receiver. When you plug in the headphones, the speaker is silenced. You will find a wide selec- tion of headphones at your local RadioShack store.

Listening Safely

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

•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 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.
