Listening Safely; Connecting An Extension Speaker - GRE PSR-200U Owner's Manual

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone
or headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• 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.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear an earphone or headphones with your scanner when operating
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 or headphones with your scanner while riding a
bicycle, be very careful. Do not listen to a continuous transmission. Even
though some earphones and headphones let you hear some outside sounds
when you listen at normal levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.

CONNECTING AN EXTENSION SPEAKER

In a noisy area, an extension speaker (not supplied) might provide more
comfortable listening. Plug the speaker cable's 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) mini-plug
into your scanner's
Note: You must use an amplified speaker with this scanner. Non-amplified
speakers do not provide sufficient volume for comfortable listening.
