Page 8: Listening Safely
12-791.fm Page 8 Wednesday, July 7, 1999 11:29 AM Notes: • Connecting earphones or headphones disconnects the radio’s built-in speaker. • While connected to the radio, the ear- phones’ or headphones’ cord acts as the FM antenna. Listening Safely To protect your hearing, follow these guide- lines when you use earphones or head- phones. - Page 9 12-791.fm Page 9 Wednesday, July 7, 1999 11:29 AM • Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. • 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.
