Headphones And Speakers - Whistler WS1080 Owner's Manual

ACCESSORIES
WARNING: Outdoor antennas must be properly
grounded to prevent static buildup and lightning
damage. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information about proper
grounding of the antenna mast, connection of coaxial
cable to an lightning arrestor, size of grounding
conductors, location of the lightning arrestor and
connection of grounding conductors to grounding
electrodes.
Disconnect your radio from the outdoor antenna
during electrical storm activity to prevent damage.

Headphones and Speakers

You can plug headphones (not supplied) or an
amplified speaker (not supplied) with a 1/8 inch
(3.5mm) stereo mini-plug in the headphone jack on
top of your scanner. This automatically disconnects
the internal speaker.
NOTE: Use an amplified speaker; a non-amplified
speakers may not provide sufficient volume for
comfortable listening.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when
you use headphones:
Set the volume to zero before putting on headphones.
With the headphones on, adjust the volume to a
comfortable level.
Avoid increasing the volume after you set it. Over time,
your sensitivity to a volume level decreases, so volume
levels that do not cause discomfort might damage your
hearing. Avoid or limit listening at high-volume levels.
Prolonged exposure to high-volume levels can cause
permanent hearing loss.
Wearing headphones while operating a motor vehicle or
riding a bicycle can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
most areas. Even though some headphones let you hear
some outside sounds when listening at normal volume
levels, they still can present a traffic hazard. Exercise
extreme caution!
