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 headph ones, the speak er is sil enced. You will find a wide sel ec-
tion of headphones at your local RadioSha ck store.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use
headphones.
• Set the volume to t he lowest setting before you beg in l isteni ng.
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 perm anent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your
ears adapt to the volum e level, so a volum e level that does not
cause discomfort might still dam age your hearing.
