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 headphones, the speaker is silenced. You will find a wide selec-
tion of headphones at your local RadioShack store.
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 volume 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 volume level that does not
cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
