Listening Safely - Uniden BC296D Owner's Manual

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use
an earphone or headphones.
• Do not use an earphone to listen to the WX alert siren
test or when in SAME Alert mode. The alert tone's vol-
ume is not adjustable and damage to your hearing
could occur.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended
high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Set the VOL (VOLUME) to the lowest setting before you
begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the VOL
(VOLUME) to a comfortable level.
• Once you set the VOL (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.
