Warning!	Use extreme caution when installing or removing an
	outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go!
	It could contact overhead power lines. If the antenna
	touches a power line, touching the antenna, mast, cable,
	or guy wires can cause electrocution and death. Call the
	power company to remove the antenna. Do not attempt
	to do so yourself.

listening safely

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

•Adjust VOL (volume) to its lowest level before putting on headphones. With the headphones on, adjust VOL to a comfortable level.

•Avoid increasing the volume once you set it. Over time, your sensitivity to volume decreases, so volume levels that do not cause discomfort might damage your hearing.

•Avoid listening at high volume levels. Prolonged exposure to high volume levels can cause permanent hearing loss.

trafﬁc safety

Do not wear headphones while driving. This can create a trafﬁc hazard and is illegal in some areas. Even though some headphones let you hear outside sounds when you listen at normal levels, they still can present a trafﬁc hazard.
