Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone or headphones.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.
Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening,
adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• 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.
Traffic Safety
Do not use an earphone or headphones with your scanner when operating a motor vehicle in or near traffic.
Doing so can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.
If you use an earphone or headphones with your scanner, be very careful. Do not listen to a continuous
broadcast. Even though some earphones/headphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at
normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
CONNECTING AN EXTENSION
SPEAKER
In a noisy area, an optional extension speaker, positioned in the right place, might provide more comfortable
listening. Plug the speaker cable's
