Uniden BC 245XLT - Manual (Page 89)

Precautions
Before you use this scanner, please read and observe the following:
EARPHONE WARNING!
Be sure to use only the recommended optional monaural earphone
(EP009). You may also use a 32 Ω stereo headset. Use of an incorrect
earphone or stereo headset may be potentially hazardous to your
hearing. The output of the phone jack is monaural, but you will hear it
in both headphones of a stereo headset.
Set the volume to a comfortable audio level coming from the speaker
before plugging in the monaural earphone or a stereo headset of the
proper impedance (32
Ω ). Otherwise you might experience some
discomfort or possible hearing damage if the volume suddenly
becomes too loud because of the Volume Control or Squelch Control
setting. This may be particularly true of the type of earphone that is
placed in the ear canal.
WARNING!
Uniden does not represent this unit to be waterproof. To reduce the
risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this unit to rain or
moisture.
GENERAL BATTERY WARNING!
Do not short-circuit any Battery.
Do not discard Batteries in a fire; they may explode.
Rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium Batteries Must Be Recycled or
Disposed of Properly.
Uniden voluntarily participates in an RBRC®industry program to
collect and recycle nickel-cadmium batteries at the end of their useful
life, when taken out of service within the United States.
The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing
used nickel-cadmium batteries into the trash or municipal waste
stream, which is illegal in some areas.
Through the RBRC® program, Uniden makes it easy for you to drop
off the used battery at local retailers of replacement nickel-cadmium
batteries. You may also contact your local recycling center for
information on where to return the used battery. Please call
1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling in your
area. Uniden’s involvement in this program is part of its commitment
to protecting our environment and conserving natural resources.
