Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an ear-
phone 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/headphones with your scanner when operat-
ing a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle in or near traffic. Doing so can
create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.
If you use an earphone/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 nor-
mal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
ATTACHING THE BELT CLIP
You can attach the supplied belt clip to make your scanner easier to
use when you are on the go. Use a Phillips screwdriver and the two
supplied screws to attach the belt clip to the scanner. Then slide the
belt clip over your belt or waistband.
