Precautions
Before you use this scanner, please read and observe the following:
Earphone Warning!
Be sure to use only the recommended optional monaural earphone (EPOO9).
You may also use a 32Q 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
(32Q). 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.
