USING STEREO

HEADPHONES

For private listening, connect optional stereo headphones into the receiver's 1/ 8-inch jack. Your local RadioShack store offers a wide selection of stereo head- phones.

Note: The built-in speaker disconnects when you plug in headphones.

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 vol- ume 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 vol- ume level that does not cause dis- comfort might still damage your hearing.

If you use headphones with your receiv- er while riding a bicycle, be very careful. Do not listen to a continuous broadcast. Even though some headphones let you hear some outside sounds when listen- ing at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.

USING THE FOLDING STAND

You can use the stand on the back of the receiver to prop it up so you can easily see the clock display. Simply lift the stand away from the receiver and set the receiver on a flat surface.

The back of the stand shows a world map with time zone changes. You can use the map to help you set the Second- ary Clock to determine broadcast times in other parts of the world.

Traffic Safety

Do not use headphones with your re- ceiver when operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle in or near traffic. Doing so can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.
