USING HEADPHONES
For private listening, you can use a
pair of stereo headphones (not sup-
plied) with an 1/8-inch plug. Your local
Radio Shack store carries a wide se-
lection of stereo headphones.
To connect the headphones, insert the
headphones’ 1/8-inch plug into the
PHONES
jack.
Then put on the headphones and ad-
just
VOLUME
to a comfortable listening
level.
Note
: Connecting the headphones au-
tomatically disconnects the built-in
speakers.
LISTENING SAFELY
Do not listen at extremely high volume
levels. Extended, high-volume listen-
ing can lead to permanent hearing
loss. Follow these guidelines to protect
your hearing, especially when you use
headphones.
• Always start by setting the volume
to the lowest level possible before
you begin listening. Put the head-
phones on, then gradually
increase the volume as neces-
sary.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over a period of 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 headphones while operat-
ing a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.
Even though some headphones are
designed to let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal vol-
ume levels, they still present a traffic
hazard and are illegal in some areas.
