Acoustic Safety
Exposure to loud noises from any source for
!
extended periods of time may temporarily or
permanently affect your hearing. The louder the
a u t i o n
radio's volume, the less time is required before
your hearing could be affected. Hearing damage
from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at
first and can have a cumulative effect.
To protect your hearing:
•
Use the lowest volume necessary to do your
job.
•
Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy
surroundings.
•
Turn down the volume before adding headset
or earpiece.
•
Limit the amount of time you use headsets or
earpieces at high volume.
•
When using the radio without a headset or
earpiece, do not place the radio's speaker
directly against your ear.
