CONNECTING
HEADPHONES
For private listening and for stereo sound during FM stereo broadcasts, you can plug optional stereo head- phones with a 
jack on the left side of the receiver. This automatically dis- connects the internal speaker.
When you connect stereo headphones and tune to a stereo broadcast, 
ST 
appears on the display.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.
•Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended
•Set the volume to the lowest set- ting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
•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.
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.
If you use headphones with your re- ceiver, be very careful. Do not listen to a continuous broadcast. Even though some headphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at nor- mal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
CONNECTING A TAPE RECORDER
You can connect an optional tape re- corder to your receiver’s REC LINE OUT jack to record transmissions.
The recorder must have a line level in- put jack.
Note: If you use a recorder’s MIC IN jack to connect to the receiver, the sound will be distorted.
