Traffic Safety
Do not wear earphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.
This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. Even though
some earphones are designed to let you hear some outside sounds when
listening at normal volume levels, they still present a traffic hazard.
Follow these steps to listen with earphones.
1. Turn down VOLUME and turn on the band you want to hear.
2. Insert the supplied earphone into the Portavision-50 EAR jack.
Note: Inserting a plug into the ear jack automatically disconnects
